On Ubuntu 22.04 I attempt to use "ISO Image Writer" to create a bootable USB drive from the file: Win10_22H2_English_x64v1.iso. This ISO file was downloaded from the Microsoft.com. On the attempt I get the error:

The last block was not fully written (-1 of 1,048,576 bytes)!
Aborting.

The USB drive is a Samsung HM250HI (232.9GiB). This happened in spite of my having used the Disks utility to reformat it to FAT.

Om my Ubuntu OS how can I get this USB drive to become an installation USB for Windows 10?

This is to be used to install Windows 10 on an old computer that cannot handle Windows 11 due to its processor not being supported. The computer is to be handed down to a family member how is not tech savvy enough to handle a Linux OS. Currently installed on this older computer is Pop_OS! 21.04.

So I can't comment on the error you're getting. Tho it sounds liek a hardware error..can't read sectors or something.

I use unetbootin when usb image writer gives me issue. You can get the link to unetbootin (and other suggestions) in this link from itsfloss I want to say i've used it for windows iso before
