The process seemed to go fine, but later when I wanted to take a peek at what files were loaded into the thumb drive.......Gasp ! My system would not recognize the thumb drive as media! In device manager under drives it did show correctly, but that was all. It was a 64gb Transcend and as far as I can tell it was totally bricked. In drive management the drive did not exist, nor any other partition software tool could see it, have tried every way that I could find to fix it.
Have not a clue on what happened to it, but what ever it was, it was effective in killing that thumb drive.
Been looking for an excuse to buy a larger thumb drive anyway and now it seems I have one!

Yep, I used that excuse too and 'splurged' for a three-pack of sandisk 16Gb from Costco for $20
Used a couple of my existing 8GB to create the image for W10 Home and Pro.
