Do you want

- a Windows install drive or

- a portable Windows installed system 'Windows Preinstallation Environment'?

Which version of Windows do you want to install?

- What is the name of the windows.iso file?

- From where did you get the windows.iso file?

Your last post didn't really clarify much. Are you trying to install windows to a usb drive? That won't work by design of microsoft.

Are you trying to create a bootable usb to use to install windows 10 onto a computer hard drive? That's possible, several methods.

Your last post indicates "This is a Windows 10 computer (64 bit ,home". What does that mean? Are you running windows 10 on your computer now? Where does Ubuntu/Linux fit in?

I just want to make a bootable USB for re-installing a new Windows 10.
The .iso file is downloaded from Microsoft.

How to do for making a bootable usb (I just want to re-install a new Windows 10 )

I just want to make a bootable USB for re-installing a new Windows 10.
The .iso file is downloaded from Microsoft.

Check the content of the Windows iso file

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/lp1
sudo mount -o loop windows-file-name.iso /mnt/lp1
find /mnt/lp1 -type f -ls | sort -nk7

In a recently downloaded 'pure Microsoft iso file' all files are smaller than 4 GiB = 4294967296 bytes.

     1307 4174058 -r-xr-xr-x   1 nobody   nogroup  4274234443 okt 30 00:52 /mnt/lp1/sources/install.wim

If no file inside the iso file exceeds 4 GiB = 4294967296 bytes, you can use the file system FAT32, and you can use the tool mkusb

If a file exceeds that limit, it is usually install.wim. Then you need the file system NTFS and the tool woeusb.

This can happen in some windows.iso files created for particular computers (OEM iso file versions).

Using a Linux tool on Windows is like using a metric wrench on an imperial bolt,

sometimes it works.

Microsoft's Media Creation Tool works well for creating a Windows installer USB.

If you are using a windows operating system and trying to create a bootable windows usb from it, you would be better off using the microsoft forums or knowledge database or a windows forum. It is possible to create a bootable windows usb from Ubuntu but you don't have Ubuntu?
