Windows 10: Installing Windows via USB Boot on a LINUX OS

Hello, recently I have installed a Linux based operating system (Parrot specifically if it helps) via Unetbootin, and realised I should have just used it from live boots and not change the whole operating system.

Now I am stuck, all the USB Boot softwares seem to be Windows exe based and I am unfamiliar with installing Linux softwares, I am looking for a step-by-step tutorial for downloading a Linux based USB booting software (Something like Unetbootin because you don't have to format the drive and can keep the files/folders without having them removed on the switch-over). I have a legit copy of Windows still, it's just figuring out how to install it back from this foreign to-me operating system.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

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!

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

 

How to go about building a tri-boot system?

Yeah, but he's throwing OS X in there. Not quite as easy to do, but not all that hard. Manual configuration of GRUB is necessary.
