Best Answer

I suggest that you try mkusb instead of WinUSB. mkusb can create bootable USB drives and memory cards with the Windows installer for Windows 7 - Windows 10.

See the following links,

If you have a DVD drive

  • Burn a boot DVD disk. Make sure to 'burn an iso file'. (Do not create a data DVD with the iso file.)
