All this said, I have yet to actually use this drive to INSTALL Windows as I'm building the computer tomorrow.

Will report back if I run into any issues. The ExFAT formatted drive with Windows ISO did not work as a bootable drive. I had to create a Windows partition on my hard drive and boot into that to make a functioning boot drive. I managed to create several bootable Windows 10 USBs on Mac (Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur) in recent years. If you are using a newer Windows 10 ISO (after version 201809), then UUByte ISO Editor is the best app for creating a bootable USB on Mac. It automatically splits the large ISO file into small parts so the Windows installation files can be sit on a FAT32 partition, which is the only working file system supported by Mac for Windows install.

I tried to create a USB stick to install Windows using Bootcamp.

Not only you need to have an old version of Macos X for this to work, but even if you do have one, at least in my case, it didn’t work. I was able to create the USB stick but it wouldn’t boot on my new PC.

Using software utilities like UNetbootin, highly discouraged by Apple with some scary warnings, from doing so, also didn’t work for me.

Some convoluted methods that require me to use diskutil either from the command line or from the UI, also no luck.

I have even seen articles suggesting to use rsync! Come on, if I want to install windows, I definitely do not want to resort to Rsync.

Why is it so hard to create a USB stick to install Windows 10 The main reason why it is so hard to create a Windows USB stick from a Mac has to do with file size limits on the FAT32 file system(4 GB). The latest Windows 10 install has a file with 5GB, so if you try to copy the install files to a USB stick, it will fail because one file is over 4GB size. Some of the solutions to this problem propose using ExFAT instead, as it accepts file sizes above 4GB. However, my BIOS will not boot from a USB flash drive formatted with ExFAT. To make FAT32 work you need to split the file which is bigger than 5GB into chunks under the file size limit.
