Apple stripped the ability to make Windows 10 install media from a flash drive or external SSD in Sierra, but sometimes, you still need to be able to do it from a Microsoft-provided download. AppleInsider shows you how to do it.



First, get the .ISO file from Microsoft here. Importantly, this doesn't contain a license code, so you'll need to get one of those yourself.
We implore you —get the .ISO from Microsoft. Don't use a shady source.
Making a Windows 10 install disk from macOS High Sierra isn't as simple as formatting a drive in Disk Utility and copying over files in the Finder —you need to use the Terminal. So, mount the disk you want to make install media, and open up the Terminal.


Find the name of the drive that you want to install the media on. Be sure that you've got this right —because in later steps you can do massive damage to your boot drive if you're not careful.
Type diskutil list in the Terminal window to get a list of your drives. In our case here, it's 'disk2.' We'll use 'disk2' going forward with this tip, but in the place of 'disk2' use which disk identifier is appropriate for you.


Next, we'll format the disk in Terminal. Enter
diskutil eraseDisk ExFat 'WINDOWS10' MBR disk2
This will format the drive suitable for a UEFI boot, name it 'WINDOWS10,' and mount it.


Your Windows 10 .ISO file download is probably in your Downloads folder. Mount the .ISO by double-clicking on it. It is probably called 'CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9' but double-check.


A Finder copy doesn't work. In the Terminal enter:
cp -rp /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/* /Volumes/WINDOWS10/


The Terminal will sit there for a minute, seemingly unfazed by your command. However, it is working, and after a period of time depending on the speed of your media it will complete unceremoniously —but your data will be copied, and your media will be bootable.

When you download Windows from Microsoft Store, you have two options: You can download a collection of compressed files, or you can download an ISO file. An ISO file combines all the Windows installation files into a single uncompressed file.


If you choose to download an ISO file so you can create a bootable file from a DVD or USB drive, copy the Windows ISO file onto your drive and then run the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool. Then simply install Windows onto your computer directly from your USB or DVD drive.

When you download the ISO file, you must copy it onto a USB or DVD. When you're ready to install Windows, insert the USB drive or DVD with the ISO file on it and then run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive.


Microsoft For Mac Updates

This allows you to install Windows onto your machine without having to first run an existing operating system. If you change the boot order of drives in your computer's BIOS, you can run the Windows installation directly from your USB drive or DVD when you first turn on your computer. Please see the documentation for your computer for information about how to change the BIOS boot order of drives.


Making copies

Microsoft Windows Media Download Tool

  • To install the software, you can make one copy of the ISO file on a disc, USB flash drive, or other media.


  • After you’ve installed the software and accepted the license terms that accompany the software, those license terms apply to your use of the software. The license terms for Windows permit you to make one copy of the software as a back-up copy for re-installation on the licensed computer. If you do not delete your copy of the ISO file after installing the Windows software, the copy of the ISO file counts as your one back-up copy.

If you need to download the software again, you can go to your Download Purchase History in your Microsoft Store account and access the download there.
