Windows and Mac, they both are designed with different companies with a different file system. Because of their File system, it seems to us that we can’t create bootable USB for macOS Mojave on Windows. And the same goes for mac, where we are thinking we can’t create bootable USB for Windows 10 in mac. However, if you have used the Mac operating system, then you know that you can create bootable USB for Windows in mac with terminal and some other applications. But if you have used windows you will find out that you are not even able to create bootable USB for macOS Mojave using CMD or PowerShell. However, if we compare the Terminal and PowerShell, Terminal is built upon the Linux Codes and Infrastructure. but PowerShell is built by mixing all Unix, CMD, Scripts and other kinds of stuff. Jeffery Snover the founder of PowerShell said that anyone can work on PowerShell based on their platform. it means that if you are a Linux user you can use PowerShell, just like you are using the Linux terminal. This way PowerShell seems to be Powerful but yet no one has achieved to create bootable USB for macOS Mojave on Windows. I bet that for programmers it is not a hard thing but they are not interested in that. It is we, the basic users who wish to use a different operating system.
So, enough of talk and let’s dive into creating bootable USB for macOS Mojave on Windows with TransMac, I hope it will be helpful for you.
Required Files:
- macOS Mojave Dmg File: In order to create bootable USB for macOS Mojave in windows 10, the first thing which is required is the macOS Mojave dmg File. If you have used a mac operating system, then you know that you can’t download macOS Mojave except for app store. I don’t know how, but programmers have decoded that from mac and uploaded the dmg file for windows users. Now windows user can download the macOS Mojave dmg file and they can use it to create bootable USB. And keep one more thing in your mind, if you visit any site download macOS Mojave iSO, then the flash won’t be bootable correctly. Because of those how are providing you the macOS Mojave ISO file, they have simply converted the macOS Mojave dmg file using PowerISO. Converting macOS Mojave dmg file to any other extensions requires a specific set of skills in the coding of an operating system. So, it is so rare that anyone put that much effort. However, I can’t predict if someone changes the macOS Mojave dmg to iSO in the future.
- 16 GB USB Flash: The macOS Mojave dmg file size is actually is 6.7 GB and at least it requires 8 GB of storage to extract the files. But since many users are facing errors, I would you recommend you to use a 16 GB USB Flash. And please make sure that the USB must be 3.0 because with USB 3.0 it takes 50 minutes to create bootable USB and I wonder How much time it would take for USB 2.0 to Create bootable USB.
- Transmac: TransMac is a software which is specifically built for windows users to mount, format, edit and create bootable for macOS. However there is also alternative software to TransMac but they are working best for Hackintosh file system (HFS), but since macOS high Sierra and macOS Mojave have Apple File system (APS), they can’t support it. Another thing which you must know about the TransMac, that TransMac is not free forever, it only provides you 15 days of trial. But After that, you have to purchase it.
