How to Create a Bootable USB Windows 10 on Mac

Are you looking for a way to create a bootable USB Windows 10 on your Mac? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through the steps of creating a bootable USB using Rufus.

To begin, make sure you have the following requirements:

* A spare USB stick (an 8GB USB should be plenty for Windows 10)

* The latest version of Rufus (available online)

Step 1: Open up Rufus and plug your clean USB stick into your computer. You can download Rufus from .

Step 2: Rufus will automatically detect your USB.

Step 3: Make sure the Boot Selection option is set to Disk or ISO image, then click Select. Click on Device and choose the USB you want to use from the drop-down menu.

Step 4: You'll generally want to create a Standard Windows installation, and Rufus will automatically detect the correct Partition Scheme based on your device, so keep the default settings as they are.

This will open a dialogue box where you can choose which Windows version you want to download. Just click on the drop-down arrow next to the Select button and choose Download instead.

Step 5: Give the Volume label a name of your choice, or leave it as it is, and once again leave the default settings for File system and Cluster size. However, you can also change these if you want.

Step 6: You'll get a warning saying that any data on the USB will be destroyed (this is normal). In this case, you'll need to start again with a different larger USB.

Tips and Tricks

* Make sure your USB stick is at least 8GB in size, as Windows 10 requires more space than earlier versions.

* Rufus will automatically detect the correct Partition Scheme based on your device, so keep the default settings as they are.

* If you're using an older version of Rufus, you may not have the option to download the ISO image directly through Rufus. In this case, you'll need to download it separately.

By following these steps, you should now have a bootable USB Windows 10 on your Mac. This can be useful if you ever need to recover, repair or install an operating system on your computer.
