How to create sonoma bootable disk on Windows PC or Mac?

What You'll Need If Create Sonoma Boot disk:

• USB Drive: At least 16GB is preferred. Make sure it’s empty or you don’t mind wiping it.
• Mac: Yep, you need a Mac to create the boot disk.
• macOS Sonoma Installer: Grab it from the App Store. Just search for “macOS Sonoma” and hit download. It might take a little while depending on your internet speed.

Steps to Create Sonoma Boot Disk:

1. Take that USB drive and plug it into your Mac.
2. Open Disk Utility (you can find it using Spotlight with Command + Space and typing “Disk Utility”).
3. In Disk Utility, select your USB drive from the list on the left (make sure you select the correct one).
4. Click on Erase at the top, fill in the details like this:
   * Name: You can call it “Sonoma” or whatever.
   * Format: Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
   * Scheme: Select GUID Partition Map.
5. Hit Erase and wait for it to finish. This will wipe the drive clean.
6. Once the download is complete, it should pop up automatically in your Applications folder. If it’s not there, you can manually check.
7. Open Terminal (again, use Spotlight for this).
8. You’re gonna type a command that tells your Mac to create sonoma boot disk. Here’s what you type:
   sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sonoma.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Sonoma
9. Make sure to replace “Sonoma” in the command with whatever you named your USB drive if you picked a different name.
10. Hit Enter, and it’ll ask for your password. Type it in (you won’t see it as you type) and hit Enter again.
11. Terminal will ask if you’re sure you want to erase the USB drive. Type Y and hit Enter. It’ll start creating the boot disk, and this might take a bit, so go grab a snack or something.
12. Once it’s done, you’ll see a message saying it’s complete. Eject your USB drive and you’re golden!
