You download the MediaCreation tool to a PC.
You run that MediaCreation tool, from an Admin account, and it will give you the option to create the needed stuff on the USB.

OK then.

Go here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Download the MediaCreation tool
Have a BLANK flash drive, 8GB or larger. Repeat...blank.

Run that MediaCreation tool
It will give you the option to "Create media for use on a different PC" (or words to that effect)

Do that.

At the end of that process, you'll have a USB to use to install on your other PC.

Right.
You don't download the MediaCreation tool TO the flash drive.
You download it to your PC or laptop.

You run it from the PC, and it will create the necessary stuff on the flash drive.

Read those links. It guides you through the whole process.
