Make a Windows 10 bootable USB on Mac M3. Any easy way available?

To create a Windows 10 bootable USB on a M3 Mac, please try out WinBootMate app. It is a dedicated app for creating Windows bootable USB. Most importantly, it supports Apple Silicon Mac as you can see from this guide:

Simple download Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft website. Please don't use third-party ISO as it is more dangerous.

After that, connect a USB stick to your Mac and run WinBootMate app.

Import Windows 10 ISO into the program and choose the USB drive name. Click the Burn button and wait about 7 minutes. You will have a bootable Windows 10 USB for OS installation.

Below is the screenshot taken from my Apple Silicon MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma 14.3.

Sharing what i know:

1: Download the Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft's website.

2: Insert a USB drive into your Mac. Make sure it's at least 8GB in size and doesn't have any important data on it, as the following steps will erase everything on the drive.

3: Open the Terminal app on your Mac (you can find it in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder).

4: In the Terminal window, type the following command: diskutil list

5: Identify the disk number of your USB drive in the Terminal window (it will likely be "disk2" or "disk3" but the number may vary depending on how many disks are attached to your Mac).

6: Unmount the USB drive by typing the following command in the Terminal window: diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN (replace N with your disk number from step 5).

7: Next, type the following command in the Terminal window to start the disk imaging process: sudo dd if=/path/to/windows10.iso of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m (replace /path/to/windows10.iso with the actual path to the Windows 10 ISO file on your Mac, and replace N with your disk number from step 5).

8: Press Enter and wait for the disk imaging process to complete. This can take some time (up to an hour or more).

9: Once the process is complete, close the Terminal window and eject the USB drive from your Mac.

Your Windows 10 bootable USB drive is now ready to use. You can use it to do what you want.

Creating a Windows 10 bootable USB on a Mac using the Boot Camp Assistant app is a straightforward process. Boot Camp Assistant is a utility provided by Apple that allows you to create Windows bootable USB on Mac and install Microsoft Windows on your Mac.

1. Insert your USB flash drive into a USB port on your Mac. Navigate to Applications > Utilities and open Boot Camp Assistant.
2. When Boot Camp Assistant opens, you may see a list of tasks. If given the option, select "Create a Windows or later version install disk" and deselect the other options. Note that the exact wording may vary slightly depending on your version of macOS.
3. Click on "Choose" to locate and select the Windows 10 ISO file you downloaded and select the USB drive. Make sure your USB flash drive is selected as the destination disk.
4. Click "Continue" and Boot Camp Assistant will start creating the Windows 10 bootable USB drive. This process will format your USB drive and install the Windows 10 installer onto it, so ensure any important data on the USB drive is backed up beforehand.

great procedure, but...

But as Author hudsontosilva already mentioned, Boot Camp Assistant is not available for M-series Apple-silicon Macs.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using a MacBook Pro with the latest M3 chip and I need some help for creating a bootable Windows 10 USB on my Mac. I've done some research but haven't found clear instructions that are specific to the M3 Macs. The process seems to be a bit different compared to older Mac models, and I'm looking for the best way to accomplish this task without running into compatibility issues.

Has anyone successfully created a Windows 10 bootable USB on an M3 Mac? If so, could you please share the steps you followed?

Thank you in advance for your help and advice!

I do not see how that is possible.

This Mac can not run Windows 10 directly.

Nor can it run the standard Windows 11 (for Intel processors).

If your Windows Apps are not available using emulator/translators like Wine, you have a lot more research to do before you are ready to consider running Windows.

<< I followed the steps but the USB is not recognized as a booting device on the PC. The USB name not showing up from boot menu. >>

Did the computer it work on building the USB device for the better part of an hour?

If you have ten dollars install utm a virtual machine that can run windows 10 and Linux and if you have a m1 or later chip you can download Ventura

Please notice you have to install a windows 10 iso

And you can not run applications

it works fine
