How do you burn Windows 11 ISO to USB on Mac?
- Aug 14, 2025
In the past, you can burn ISO to USB with the Bootcamp app. However, it is no longer available on Apple Silicon and modern macOS version such as Monterey, Ventura or Sonoma. Fortunately, there is a couple of nice apps out there for doing this on Mac.
Here is a step-by-step tutorial with screenshots that shows you how to burn Windows 11 ISO to USB on any Mac:

Have you tried Boot Camp Assistant? It is a utility included with macOS that allows you to install and run Windows on your Mac. It provides an easy way to burn ISO to USB on Mac for Windows installations, making it particularly useful for users who need to install Windows on a PC.
Step 1. Plug in an 8GB+ USB drive.
Step 2. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities), select the USB, click Erase, choose MS-DOS (FAT) and Master Boot Record, then Erase.
Step 3. Open Boot Camp Assistant:
- Go to Applications > Utilities > Boot Camp Assistant.
- Check "Create a Windows 7 or later install disk".
- Select your Windows 11 ISO and the USB drive, then click Continue.
- Let Boot Camp Assistant do its thing. It'll create the bootable USB.

Boot Camp Assistant quickly quits on an Apple Silicon Mac. It won't work.
