Are you looking for a way to create a bootable USB drive for macOS from your Windows operating system? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating a bootable USB drive for macOS using TransMac software.

Step 1: Download and Install TransMac Software

To begin, download the latest version of TransMac software from their official website. Once downloaded, run the setup file to install the software on your PC. You can also navigate to the Start menu, right-click on TransMac entry in search results, and then click 'Run as administrator' option.

Step 2: Visit the TransMac Website

Visit the TransMac website and download the latest version of TransMac software on your PC. While it is a paid software, you can use the 15-day trial copy to prepare a bootable USB drive without any issues.

Step 3: Run TransMac Software as Administrator

Once TransMac is installed, right-click on the USB drive and select 'Format Disk for Mac' option. Click 'Yes' when prompted by the warning dialog box.

Step 4: Partition the USB Drive with GPT Partition

Right-click on the USB drive again and select 'Partition' option. Name the partition as 'Seirra install drive'. This is because if you have been using a USB flash drive with Windows operating system, it is likely using MBR partition type.
