I used Microsoft's official Media Creation Tool to make a Windows 10 bootable USB before. It's really beginner-friendly! The steps are very simple:

The only disadvantage is that you need to be connected to the Internet to download the complete system image, which is a bit annoying if the network speed is slow.
