Where did you get the W10 ISO file from? I mean what website, exactly? Some ISO file sources are better than others, compatibility-wise.
It's always best to use the MCT tool from the Microsoft site. Also, as Neem points out, newer computers with protected BIOSes need to be changed temporarily in order to boot from any kind of external media (optical disc, or usb drive).
