How to make USB bootable with MacOS on windows

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

To perform this task, you’ll need:

  • Broken Mac computer running macOS
  • A trial copy of the TransMac software
  • One high-quality USB flash drive with 16GB of storage
  • Copy of macOS (DMG file)

To create a bootable USB drive with macOS, use these steps:

  1. Download and install TransMac on Windows 10.
    Quick note: This is a paid piece of software, but it gives you a 15-day trial, which is more than enough time. (If this works and you want to support the developer, purchase the full version.)
  2. Connect the USB flash drive.
    Important: If you have any data on the flash drive, remember to back it up since this process will erase everything on it.
  3. Right-click the TransMac app and select the Run as administrator option.
  4. Click the Run button. (If you use the trial version, wait 15 seconds)TransMac on Windows 10
  5. Right-click the USB flash drive and select the “Format Disk for Mac” option from the left pane.Format Disk for Mac using GPT partition
    Quick note: You want to perform this task before creating the bootable media because there is a good chance that the drive was formatted using a Windows device. If this is the case, the chances are it’s using an MBR partition, and the USB drive needs a GPT partition to work on a Mac.
