Creating a bootable Windows 10 USB on a Mac can be quite challenging, but in this article, we will guide you on how to do it with ease.
Before starting the process, ensure you have downloaded the Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft’s website. After downloading, move it to the side and insert your USB into your Mac. The USB should appear mounted on your desktop.
Next, open Disk Utility and click on the USB. Click on ‘Erase’ and name the USB something like ‘Windows 10’. Ensure you select MS-DOS (FAT) as the format and confirm. Then, close Disk Utility and double click on the ISO to mount it.
After that, copy everything except the ‘Sources’ folder and paste it into a new finder window. Create a folder called ‘Sources’ and copy everything except a file called ‘install.win’ into it.
At this point, the files are copied to sources, but the ‘Wim’ file is too big for the USB. To solve this, we will use ‘wimlib’. Open a browser and head to ‘wimlib’ and install it. After installing, split the ‘Wim’ file across two files by running a command in the terminal.
At this point, the USB is bootable, and you can eject it and use it on any computer you desire to install Windows 10.
In conclusion, creating a bootable Windows 10 USB on a Mac is an easy process once you understand the steps involved. With the above guide, you can create a Windows 10 bootable USB on your Mac without any difficulty.
