Instructions based mostly from this article, but with the diskutil command modified.

 brew install wimlib
 
 diskutil eraseDisk MS-DOS "WIN10" MBR /dev/disk5
 
 rsync -vha --exclude=sources/install.wim /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-GB_DV9/* /Volumes/WIN10
 
 wimlib-imagex split /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-GB_DV9/sources/install.wim /Volumes/WIN10/sources/install.swm 3800

MBR is important in the diskutil. GPT does not work, as it interferes with the install.
