Hi all,
I downloaded a genuine ISO from the Microsoft site and I didn't use the CREATION TOOL but I just downloaded the ISO.
My laptop is UEFI and SECURE BOOT enabled.
I ran RUFUS and I put the ISO to the USB key MBR table and UEFI type.
The laptop simply don't "see" the USB ISO of Windows 10 until I don't disable SECURE BOOT and ENABLE the LEGACY MODE.
How I can create an BOOTABLE ISO of Windows 10 that supports UEFI and SECURE BOOT without using the creation tool with Rufus? Or it is impossible?

Format the USB FAT32
Mount the ISO
copy the contents of the mounted ISO to the USB thumbdrive
Mark the USB thumbdrive ACTIVE in Disk management
Or you can use Rufus by following this tutorial

The key for UEFI is FAT32 formatted media
FYI.........To Mount an ISO in Windows 10 just right clickit and Choose Open With > File Explorer....
and it will look like a DVD Player in File Explorer.
RC the DVD Player and Eject it like a DVD to Unmount the ISO again.
( it's also possible to double click an ISO to mount it but if you have a Program like Nero installed it would Start instead , which is why I use the RC method.)
UEFI mode do not use boot sectors on the hard drive and the USB flash drive, and do not require active partition to be set.Format the USB FAT32
Mount the ISO
copy the contents of the mounted ISO to the USB thumbdrive
Mark the USB thumbdrive ACTIVE in Disk management
