How to create a macOS Sequoia bootable USB for installation on Windows 10 PC?
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!

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.
First, use the Disk Management tool on Windows to format the USB drive, making sure to use the Mac OS Extended format, and then manually copy the macOS Sequoia installer image to the USB drive.
This method seems simple, but there are some limitations to the operation, especially on Windows systems.
Here are the steps on how to create a macOS Sequoia bootable USB for on Windows 10 PC:
- Open the Disk Management tool: On Windows, press Win + X and select "Disk Management".
- Select the USB drive: In the Disk Management tool, find your USB drive (make sure to back up your data, because formatting will erase everything).
- Format the USB drive: Right-click the USB drive partition and select "Format", but you will find that the Windows Disk Management tool does not actually provide an option to directly format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, only common formats such as FAT32 and NTFS.
