I used dd command to burn the iso file of windows10 but the usb has not been detected in BIOS

Question

I use linux OS.

And burned it to the usb using

sudo dd if=Win10_21H1_English_x64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1024k status=progress

And the burn process was succeeded and got the below configuration.

And I went to the bios display and attempted to locate the usb but not found.

What should I do for next?

I mean what OS are you trying to do this from? Doing it 'the hard way' only makes sense if you're not on Windows, otherwise MS make a tool to do it for you - go to this from a Windows computer [otherwise you get directed away from it again] - microsoft.com/software-download/windows10 — Tetsujin, Jul 6, 2021 at 9:34

If you are a linux user and want to burn a win10 iso file to a usb, use woeusb instead of using dd command.

sudo apt install git p7zip-full python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0

sudo pip3 install WoeUSB-ng

USB is a bus, not a device or medium. You are probably referring to a USB flash drive. There is no chemical reaction when writing to a USB flash drive, so calling it "burning" is a misnomer.

I see. I use "usb flash drive" from now. And what is the correct expression instead of "burn" ? install?

"what is the correct expression instead of "burn" ?" -- You'll probably always be correct with the verb "write". "Transfer" and "copy" are also accurate for writing (binary) images; by "image" I don't mean a photo or picture, but a file only used exactly as-is. "Store" can do when writing to a storage device. "Install" usually implies more than a simple write, e.g. data could be customized before writing and/or multiple/selected entities are involved.
