How to create a macOS Sequoia bootable USB for installation on Windows 10 PC?
Hello tech experts,
My MacBook Pro M2 can't get into the desktop anymore after in-place upgrade to macOS Sequoia, which is the latest Mac operating system available for installation recently. We don't have additional Mac device at home. How can I create a macOS bootable USB on Windows So I can reinstall macOS Sequoia on my MacBook Pro?
I check the official Apple documentation for making Mac bootable installation. But the tool is built for macOS not the Window. We have a spare Windows 10 PC at home and look for a way to make bootable USB for macOS Sequoia on Windows 10.
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.

Anastmsia A bootable DMG file is a disk image file created for macOS that contains an installation of an operating system or other software, and is set up in such a way that it can be used to boot a Mac computer. The ".dmg" extension stands for "disk image," which is a file format used to package and distribute applications and files on macOS.
To use a bootable Sequoia DMG, you typically need to either burn dmg file to a USB drive or a DVD or mount it during the boot process. This is the simple to make a macOS Sequoia bootable USB on Windows. You can then choose the bootable drive to start the installation or recovery process.
To create a macOS Sequoia bootable USB on your Windows 10 PC, you can use UltraDMG. It's a great tool for creating macOS bootable drives from Windows. You’ll need a copy of the macOS Sequoia installer (you can get it from the Mac App Store or other sources), and UltraDMG will help you put it on the USB drive. It’s pretty straightforward, just follow the prompts, and you’ll have a bootable macOS USB in no time!
