command was buggy (the ISO is readonly, the folder needs to be created on the target for the boot.wim to be copied into that directory)

I think that the following lines sudo mkdir ~/tmp-win10-iso-mnt/sources ~/tmp-win10-fat-usb-drive/ and sudo cp ~/tmp-win10-iso-mnt/sources/boot.wim ~/tmp-win10-fat-usb-drive/sources are not 100% correct: Should it be: sudo mkdir ~/tmp-win10-fat-usb-drive/sources and sudo cp ~/tmp-win10-iso-mnt/sources/boot.wim ~/tmp-win10-fat-usb-drive/sources/ ?

Added variant B that works for mainboards that cannot boot from NTFS plus some cosmetic changes.

| Apr 4, 2020 at 6:28 | comment | added | mevdschee | @Lirt, you may add that if this method does not work (many EFI firmwares do not support NTFS), then you may create two partitions (one FAT32 and one NTFS) as described here: tqdev.com/2019-cannot-copy-windows-10-install-wim (no external tools needed) | |

Agree @mevdschee, you should add new answer. I want to keep this answer to be doable without any external utilities on any linux distribution. Thanks for idea with -Q @Alex, I included it in answer.

Added `-Q` argument to mkfs.ntfs to skip filling disk with 0.

| Apr 2, 2020 at 16:27 | comment | added | mevdschee | @XavierStuvw yes there is.. as this is a "Highly active question" and is protected.. you need 10 rep points. | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 15:55 | comment | added | XavierStuvw | @mevdschee Please do create a new answer of your own. There is no reputation threshold for that. | |
| Apr 2, 2020 at 15:26 | comment | added | mevdschee | @XavierStuvw thank you for your kind words, but I don't have enough reputation on this site to do that. I hope somebody else will answer it with that content. | |
| Mar 24, 2020 at 11:35 | comment | added | XavierStuvw | @mevdschee I would warmly encourage you to promote your remark to an answer. It is a sensible option, and it can hardly be spotted tucked under one of several other answers. That could solve the bottleneck of using a fat32 file system and deal with recent installation files that are too big for it. | |
| Jan 3, 2020 at 2:38 | comment | added | testUser12 | I came here to say that I too was experiencing the issue described by @VictorAurélio - my laptop would not boot an NTFS partition correctly formatted and flagged with gdisk. I resolved the issue by using FAT32 and the command ` wimlib-imagex optimize install.wim --solid` described in the article linked by @mevdschee | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 16:26 | comment | added | Rob | You can significantly speed up the formatting of the stick when you skip filling it with zeros first: sudo mkfs.ntfs -Q /dev/sdc1 | |
| Mar 20, 2019 at 18:13 | comment | added | mevdschee | You can compress install.wim to be smaller than 4GB using "wimtools" and "solid" compression level. This way you can simply use FAT32, see tqdev.com/2019-cannot-copy-windows-10-install-wim | |
