    Unable to create Windows bootable stick.


    I'm trying to install Windows on my laptop with currently only a Linux distro on it. I tried several tools and tutorials to create a bootable stick for windows, but none of them worked, neither in Legacy nor in UEFI mode. Sometimes it shows the stick as boot option, but doesn't boot into it, just skips it as it wasn't there. What could be the reason for that? Unfortunately, I don't have a second device to test my stick there.

    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!
