To make the USB drive bootable, you need to run a tool named bootsect. In some cases, this tool needs to be downloaded from your Microsoft Store account. This may happen if you're trying to create a bit bootable USB device from a bit version of Windows.
To download bootsect:. Right-click the link, and then save the bootsect. If you don't see your USB drive in the list of available devices, please make sure the drive is inserted in the USB port, and then click the Refresh button beside the list of available drives. If there are multiple drives on the system, the tool will select the first one that is capable of burning DVDs.
If that doesn't help, please make sure that your disc isn't damaged and that your DVD-R drive is operational. Contact Product Support if issues continue to arise. Make sure the disc isn't a dual-layer DVD disc. Currently, dual-layer discs are not supported within the tool.

Once the download finishes, double-click the file called MediaCreationToolxxxx to run it. The last four digits of the file name indicate the version number of Windows Right now, the filename is MediaCreationTool21H1 , but that will change as newer versions are released.
The file should be in your Downloads folder. You'll be asked to select the language, edition and architecture you want to use. By default, the tool will use the best options for the PC you're creating the boot drive on.
You can change any of the options by unchecking the box next to Use the recommended options for this PC and using the drop-down options. If you're unsure about whether you need a bit or a bit architecture, select Both from the Architecture drop-down.
Note, that according to Microsoft's support page, if you plan on using this tool to flash a different edition of Windows 10, such as Windows 10 Pro or vice versa on a different PC, it will be included when you select Windows 10 as the Edition. In fact, basic Windows 10 is the only option, so don't stress yourself looking for a Pro option.
