Rufus, installation in UEFI NTFS: The following description makes it easy to create a bootable installation system on a USB flash drive with Freeware Rufus program.
The Windows 10 install.wim file is larger than 4 GB and can not be installed on the FAT32 file system, even if the "Secure Boot" option in the BIOS is disabled.
