You need to use a VM or borrow a Windows computer if you want to use the media creation tool, last I tried it didn't run with Wine.

Why would you need to use the media creation tool?

Do they not just provide an ISO download that you can write to a USB stick with Etcher (or something similar)?

Lots of guides out there for this, like this guy https://itsfoss.com/bootable-windows-usb-linux/

The way that guide does it is extremely overcomplicated. Image-writing software (like Etcher mentioned above) will do the same thing automatically in just a few clicks.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

Last time I tried doing that it wouldn't work, because Windows is just too special to use industry-wide tools that work fine for dozens and dozens of other OSes.

Yes, just download the ISO from MS (if you're not on Windows it'll show the ISO links instead of the media creation tool) and write with etcher (or Rpi imager, and others).

sudo dd if='path to iso' of='path to usb' bs=4M status=progress

i've gotten isos from microsoft to make VMs so i figure if they're good enough for qemu they're good enough for dd. Also make sure your usb is unmounted before you do this.

im using linux btw

okay so first what u need is download the media creation tool for windows 10 20H2, and then run it, download the .iso and choose how to use the .iso, the option is to use it on your computer directly or create an bootable media. ofc choose the bootable media one

See this post -- lots of examples, the best of which is Ventoy, IMHO.

 

dd for 'buning.'  with Ventoy, all one needs to do is copy the ISO
