Windows 10: Creating Windows bootable media in Linux

Not entirely sure if this is the place to ask this sort of question, but people seem to be knowledgeable of Linux here so i thought why not.I have a 4gb USB with Mint and access to no other USBs. I have tried to partition a drive and do the normal process of what you would do to create bootable media within Linux, but the drives partition with Windows isn’t a boot option. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible to boot from a partition as I am trying to do.

Multi-bootable USB

Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
3. MemTest86+

Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!
