    I used UltraDMG to create a macOS bootable USB on Windows, and it worked like a charm for reinstalling macOS Sequoia on my MacBook Pro. Highly recommend it!

    Check the tutorial:

    P.S. To save time during dmg burning and macOS installation, it is recommended using a USB 3.0 or above USB flash drive instead. macOS Sequoia is quite big and it could take hours to install on a slow USB 2.0 drive.

Anastmsia  Built a macOS Sequoia virtual machine with the free Hyper-V app and use the official createinstallmedia command to create a macOS Sequoia installation USB on Windows.

 

The createinstallmedia command is a terminal utility on macOS used to create a bootable installer for macOS from a DMG or an installer app. It formats a USB drive and copies the necessary files to it, making it bootable. This command is often used to install macOS on multiple machines or to perform clean installations.

 

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume
