/run/media/bobg/4C60-B820 is not a block device, it's a mounted
directory.

You need to unmount the automounted volume and use the device
(i.e. /dev/sdX ) that was mounted.  You need to use the root device
and not a partition.

Also, livecd-iso-to-disk is for putting a livecd image on a flash
drive.  As far as I know, Windows 10 isn't a Linux liveCD.  I imagine
it will fail the attempt at a checksum.
