boot - Create Windows 10 bootable/installation USB drive

I created Windows 10 installation USB drive using media creation tool provided by MS.
(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/)


At first I thought it was USB bootable and also supports installation, but it was not. It was not bootable.
Can I create a USB drive which is bootable and also I can install Windows 10 from it?


A couple of webpage say that this media creation tool makes bootable and installable USB drive.

2) http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-create-bootable-windows-10-usb-flash-drive-guide/


But for me, it was NOT bootable.
I checked if it was bootable using this tool.

The computer I tested surely supports USB booting (I tested it with another Windows 7 bootable external HDD)


What's wrong with my Win 10 USB drive?
