The simplest way is to make a bootable thumb drive with Ventoy and just copy the Windows ISO to it.

WoeUSB-ng 0.2.10 (Oct. 28, 2021) correctly created a Windows 10_21H2 install USB flash drive from a Win10_21H2_English_x64.iso that provides both legacy and UEFI install options.

Install WoeUSB-ng's Dependencies

Ubuntu

sudo apt install git p7zip-full python3-pip python3-wxgtk4.0 grub2-common grub-pc-bin

Install WoeUSB-ng

sudo pip3 install WoeUSB-ng

Note: You'll need to use MintMenu's configure to create a menu icon via /usr/local/bin/woeusbgui

Once a launch is attempted, woeusbgui will a ask for your password before launching as WoeUSB-ng

GitHub - WoeUSB/WoeUSB-ng: WoeUSB-ng is a simple tool that enable you to create your own usb stick windows installer from an iso image or a real DVD. This is a rewrite of original WoeUSB.
