TransMac Bootable USB Work with MacBook Pro? Hello, I'm currently exploring options to create a bootable USB for the latest macOS Monterey 12.7.4 from a Windows system using TransMac. I'm wondering if anyone has attempted this process and can share their experience. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing if the bootable USB created with TransMac is suitable for a clean install of macOS Monterey 12.7.4 on a Mac system. Thank you.

All you can test is to check if it will boot your Mac.

If you have a spare external drive, you could try to install on that.
