Can I create macos monterey bootable USB on a Windows 11 PC?
Creating a Monterey bootable USB on Windows 11 definitely sounds like an adventurous project, this isn’t as straightforward as just using a Mac. You’re diving into DiskPart and PowerShell, which can be a bit tricky if you aren't familiar with command-line tools. One wrong command and you could accidentally wipe another drive, or worse!
Apple doesn’t officially support creating macOS installers on anything other than a Mac. So you’re going off the beaten path if you are going to create monterey bootable usb on Windows 11, which means if anything goes wrong, you might be left Googling solutions for hours or facing errors that nobody else has experienced.
When it comes to downloading the macOS Monterey .dmg, you’re at the mercy of where you get it. If you don't snag it from a super reliable source, you might end up with malware or a corrupted file, which would be a major bummer.
