If you are in Linux you can download an iso and put it on the USB stick.

dd if=win_10.iso of=/dev/sde where the win_10.iso is the iso file and /dev/sde is the USB drive. You can determine the what drive is the USB drive by running lsblk and try to find the USB drive. For me they are usually sub 64 gb.

Writing an iso to a USB removes all the data on the drive.

If you don't want data to disappear from the USB you'll need to find another one. When you DD to a drive it erases everything on it.

An iso file contains all the data needed to be written to a drive. It contains the partition table and such.
