Oh,how frustrated I was when finding out you can't just dd a windows disk image and expect it to work in the new environment. Makes me appreciate unix os design. I have been dd'ing *nix variants,having to change only the kernel and I will always get a bootable system.

<insert rant about uefi and tpm>

If you're looking to make an installable Windows USB from an installation ISO, woeusb works well.

I'm used to dd'ing an image to a usb or to a file. There are different tricks using random programs with windows to do similar things. I wanted the source to be an installed system not an installation iso(also win10 has a builtin tool that does what you said)
