Need to make a Windows Boot USB for a new PC but only have access to internet and a Mac computer
I have a MacBook Pro M2 running the latest macOS Sonoma. I am looking for a way to make a Windows 10 bootable USB on my Mac so I can fresh install Windows 10 on my newly built PC for my son. Does anyone know know how to do this? In the past, this could be done easily with the stock Built-in Bootcamp Assistant app but it is not available on Sonoma.
[Update Dec 12] The solution that finally worked is WonderISO app. Here is the online tutorial:

P.S. Still received notification from this post frequently. I did try the new suggested app but unable to open it, saying 'WinDiskWriter cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.'
Nope!

They don't work. I have tried every way, MBT, GPT, different split sizes of the install.wim file
Installed, uninstalled and reinstalled homebrew, did the same for the winlib extension.
I am pretty certain that the .iso file I downloaded direct from Microsoft website is not corrupted.
This process looks fantastic when its running in terminal, however it simply doesn't work, you cant make a boot drive that will get past the first few screens.
Makes no sense that this is a bios issue either, everything else seems to be running fine.
Sorry quincy, need to fix that page , since it was suppossedly updated in April 2020, and in May it doesn't work..lol
8 hours in now, time to see if I can get the computer shop to break into the PC and install windows somehow.
What a total gargabe company
Hi Nuck
You can download the Windows 10 ISO version 1909 from this safe website:
https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php
Then, follow the steps on this tutorial to create the bootable installation media on a USB from your Mac
https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-make-a-wi...
Then install Windows 10, on your PC, skipping the steps to insert a product key, once Windows 10 is installed, you can go to the store to purchase a product key . . .

OK. Here are some instructions from Gizmodo that will put the ISO onto the flash drive with a Mac... they won't make it bootable though... read on...
Open a Terminal (under Utilities)
Run
diskutil listand determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g., /dev/disk2)Run
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN(replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2)Execute
sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.iso of=/dev/diskN bs=1m(replace /path/to/downloaded.iso with the path where the image file is located; for example, ./windows7.iso)Run
diskutil eject /dev/diskN, and remove your flash media when the command completes (this can take a few hours on slower drives)
Now... after you read all that, on the Gizmodo page it says that if you want to make it bootable you should use a utility called Live USB helper they link to (which isn't there any more) and use a Mac mounting tool (which isn't there either!) to force the ISO to mount on the Mac so you can copy the files over. So... that article may prove useful, but probably not. I can find other copies of Live USB helper out there, but they are all Windows executables.
One method that will work is to swap the hard drive out of the PC and into the Mac. Put your Windows 7 installation disc into the Mac optical drive, and install Windows 7 on that drive. Once it is up and running (don't worry about drivers yet), follow these steps.
- Run Command Prompt as administrator
- Type to Command Prompt:
%windir%\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep.exe, and hit Enter - In sysprep dialog that opens, choose “System Cleanup Action” as “Enter System Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)”, select “Generalize”, and select “Shutdown Options” as “Shutdown”. Click “OK”
- Sysprep generalizes now your Windows 7 setup and shuts down your computer. Do not run any other programs during this phase!
- Remove the drive from your Mac. Put it back into the PC.
- Boot the PC from sysprep generalized hard disk. You will notice Windows booting as if it was the first boot after installation, installing default and updating registry. One or two reboots are needed, depending on your system specifications
- When Windows finally boots up, you will need to enter all information as if this really was a new, fresh installation
All that is from here, but it applies in this situation a well, since you would be moving a Windows 7 installation from one computer to another. Considering that trying to make a Windows bootable USB stick with a Mac requires tools that either don't exist any more or are not being developed any more... this second method will most likely prove more dependable.
Assuming you have burnt your Windows CD into a ISO file with the tools like:
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
1. Jump into a folder here http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/
2. Get the latest version of zip archive with the keyword "mac" in the filename.
3. Download and open it up on your Mac OS X desktop.
4. On Unetbootin interface, choose [Diskimage]->[ISO] and then select the Windows ISO file on your local hard drive.
5. Select the right USB Drive and then click [OK] to start writing ISO data onto your USB drive.
Once done, you're ready to boot your computer with this bootable USB drive, like a DVD installation disk.
