How to Create macOS High Sierra Bootable USB for Reinstall
- Jul 24, 2024
Wyattk If you don't like the command line appoach, then there is a simple and direct way to create a High Sierra bootable USB on a PC. You just need to download High Sierra bootable dmg and burn the dmg file to USB drive. That is all of it. This is the easiest way to make a bootable macOS USB on any PC or Mac without restrictions.
P.S. I am following this useful guide and managed to create three bootable USB for macOS High Sierra, Catalina and El Capitan (less than 10 mins).
Wyattk Stay away from TransMac! Wasted 59 USD and the USB is not recognized by my Mac. I tried this app because it was recommended by another member in this community. So I bought a license without hesitation.
After failure, I researched on the Internet and heard a lot of users report issues with USB compatibility and bootability, which can be critical when trying to set up a new macOS installation. Additionally, the process can sometimes be slower compared to other tools due to its file transfer protocol. You'd better go with other tools in order to make a High Sierra bootable on Windows PC. I learned my lesson. Please avoid it for everyone who read this reply in future!
