If you are running Windows and want to make a bootable pen drive or burn your Windows 10 ISO to USB then you will need at least 8 GB pen drive and Windows USB/DVD Download Tool.
You can use many other ISO to USB creator but I recommend using Microsoft's official ISO to USB creator.
To burn ISO file to USB you will need your system ready with ISO file Windows USB/DVD Download Tool installed.
How to Burn ISO file into USB

(If USB drive is not listed refresh the list first and try again) - Click on begin copy and finish the process.
The tool is named Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool but it works file with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 because Microsoft adds support for previous versions' program in new version of Windows.

Refus is an easy to use ISO to usb tool to create bootable disk drives. Refus is also well know because of it's speed of creating bootable pen drives.

If you don't have anytime to download the tools then you can make a pendrive bootable with Win Rar (or any supported archive software to extract ISO file) and Windows' disk partition tool.
- First of all open "Create and format disk partition" (search on start menu)
- Now right click on the disk drive and set it as active.
- As pen drive is set active, you can format it and extract the ISO file directly into pendrive.
This method works fine if you have Windows operating system.
