If you dont have access to a Windows machine, you can use terminal to create a Bootable USB
First thing you need is a USB of at least 8 GB, and a Windows 10 ISO image.
Next open and terminal and use
to find the /dev/disk# in my case, for the USB drive it is disk5. For the rest of this guide I have highlighted 5, as this will be a unique number to your specific setup..
Next you want to unmount that disk by entering
Next add
then drag and drop Win10 iso into the terminal window. In my case it was located on the desktop so then in terminal you will see
after that add a space (If its not already there) and type
This is what the final command should look like:
Next press enter, its going to ask for your password, enter your password and hit enter. This will start the process
You need to be patient when I first did this on a USB 2.0 it took 39 minutes. This time because i was curious I used a USB 3.0 and it took 21 minutes
When its finished you will see the bytes transferred, the time it took in seconds, and the bytes/sec.
Finally, you have one more step. In terminal you want to type
This will eject the disk, and you can remove it from the USB port. For verification, I reinserted the USB, opened it up, and this is what you should see
You now have a bootable Windows 10 USB drive.

Code:
diskutil list

Code:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk[B]5[/B]
Next add
Code:
sudo dd if=
Code:
sudo dd if=/Volumes/Hackintosh\ HD/El\ Capitan\ Home/[COLOR=#0000FF]yourusername[/COLOR]/Desktop/Win10_English_x64.iso
after that add a space (If its not already there) and type
Code:
of=/dev/disk[B]5[/B] bs=1m
Code:
sudo dd if=/Volumes/Hackintosh\ HD/El\ Capitan\ Home/[COLOR=#0000ff]yourusername[/COLOR]/Desktop/Win10_English_x64.iso of=/dev/disk[B]5[/B] bs=1m
