When I try to create a bootable windows 10 with os deepin, it make me upset that the fat32 file system is not friendly with 4gb file, which is need to build a windows bootable usb.
In my views, the win10 iso have one and only file big than 4gb, when it is unpacked.

The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 byte or 4,294,967,295 (232 − 1) bytes. This limit is a consequence of the file length entry in the directory table and would also affect huge FAT16 partitions with a sufficient sector size.

i think unetbooting still not support ntfs (#4). try tu use another tool to unpack windows10 to usb with ntfs. maybe rufus.

Duplicate of #222.

You can split install.wim into parts to fit into FAT32.
