So I made a post earlier about a Mac I got, and I figured out I can make a usb stick with macOS on it, but this is the first Mac I ever had, and my earlier pc has windows 10. So is there any way I can make a bootable usb stick with windows?
Earlier Mac models
It's easier to make a MacOS installer bootable USB on Windows than it is on a Mac. You don't need to use the Apple store or any terminal commands.
There are plenty of sites to download an ISO (disk image) of the MacOS installer
You just need to make sure you have the right version that your Mac can use. (Unlike Windows 10, you can't just install the latest version)

There are free programs for Windows that can write an ISO image file to USB such as Rufus https://rufus.ie/
I wanna make a macOS bootable usb using a windows pc
Not possible.
this isnt a new mac, and it also dosent have macOS, just the “macOS utilities”
Hi OP,
Did you made a working macOS bootable USB on a PC? If yes, could you please share more details? My MacBook Pro can't boot in desktop and I need to reinstall macOS from USB.

UltraDMG worked great for me, highly recommended!

No you’re not, and no you didn’t.
The UltraDMG software doesn’t work, so there’s no way that you used it.
