How to Create Bootable Windows on Mac

Are you tired of dealing with slow or unresponsive Macs? Do you want to know how to troubleshoot common issues like deleted system files or corrupted files that cause your Mac to crash unexpectedly? One way to fix these problems is by booting from an external drive, specifically a USB flash drive. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a bootable Windows on Mac.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following requirements:

* A macOS installer file (in this example, we are using macOS Mojave)

* A USB flash drive with at least 32GB or greater storage space

* The downloaded macOS installer file is in the 'Applications' folder

* The USB drive is formatted to be compatible with your Mac

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open Terminal App: Press 'Command + Spacebar' and search for 'Terminal' to open the Terminal app.

2. Use createinstallmedia Command: Copy and paste the following command in Terminal: `createinstallmedia /Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app` (make sure to replace the version number with your actual installer file name).

3. Quit Installer Without Starting Installation: Simply quit the installer without starting the installation process.

4. Format USB Drive: Erase and format the USB drive to be compatible with your Mac. To do this, plug in your USB drive, then press 'Command + Spacebar' to access Spotlight Search, type 'Disk Utility', and select the USB drive to format it.

Why You Need to Boot from External Drive?

Booting from an external drive can help you fix problems related to your primary hard disk. For example:

* If you have deleted some system files wrongly

* If your Mac runs very slow with insufficient storage space

* If your Mac crashes unexpectedly due to corrupted system files

In this article, we have shown you how to create a bootable Windows on Mac using the `createinstallmedia` command. This can help you troubleshoot common issues and fix problems related to your primary hard disk. Remember to always backup your data before creating a bootable drive, as it will erase all content on the USB drive.
