An official iso file for MS Windows 10 is available from a link that 
Liam has previously posted to the list.

The iso file is an installable, not a Live iso.

The iso file can be downloaded and saved to the user's Linux system HDD 
(formatted as ext4), from whence, it can be copied to a Ventoy drive, 
which is formatted as a Ventoy drive is formatted. This procedure has 
previously been mentioned on this mailing list.

I have a copy of the official MS Windows 10 iso, written to my Ventoy 
drive, and, the MS Windows iso loads okay to prepare for installation.

I recommend that any person who wants to install or run different 
operating systems, create a Ventoy drive, and, copy applicable iso files 
to the Ventoy drive.

On my 32GB Ventoy drive, I have various versions of Ubuntu Linux,of 
Linux Mint Mate, of the MS Windows 10 iso (I have one copy of that), 
and, I have two iso files (one XFCE and one Mate) of GhostBSD and IO 
have Midnight BSD 3.0.1 . At one stage, I had 10 operating system iso 
files on the Ventoy drive.

See https://www.theregister.com/2021/12/10/friday_foss_fest/ for 
information about what is a Ventoy drive.
