Windows 0-day was exploited by North Korea to install advanced rootkit
All you need for an .ISO is fido (from rufus). But since nowadays Windows 10 is too large for a standard DVD all the USB stuff OP recommended is the way. Not sure the best way to get 'hold of one from back in the reasonable size days.

You can download Windows 10 images from Rufus, where do these images come from?
For reference, the script that Rufus uses to download these ISOs is of course public, and if you have any doubts as to what it might be doing, you can check its source to confirm that it is doing exactly what it says on the tin, which is download unmodified retail Windows ISOs straight from the Microsoft servers.

Rufus has stopped supporting Windows 7
Just to add a small correction here: it was. But Microsoft's strengthening of who could access their downloads in January this year means that it's become a major headache (i.e. time sink) to try to fix it so that it works on Windows 7. Which means that, no matter what version of Rufus you're using, and because this is actually a remote script that is being downloaded and executed by Rufus, ISO downloads have already been disabled on Windows 7 on account that if you run the script, it will just prompt you that it is not compatible with Windows 7 and exit.
