Longtime Mac user but built my first PC this week. Was banging my desk trying to get the bootable USB to work before I came across this video. Extremely helpful step-by-step and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. My PC's motherboard died some time ago, and thanks to this method I was able to use my Mac to create a Windows installation drive for my PC when the replacement parts arrived, instead of having to borrow a working PC from a friend. Saved me a lot of time.
I use an older version of macOS(Yosemite) and I couldn't install homebrew because of that but I was able to install wimlib using MacPorts. I just want to say thank you for your tutorial it worked beautifully and I am installing windows now. may you be successful in all your ventures, and more knowledge, and power to you.
I had tried multiple things - including PassFab and Unetbootin - none worked. The process from this tutorial nailed it (and addressed the reasons the other approaches failed.) Solid thanks.
Thanks man, I built my Gaming PC on Sunday, it’s now Thursday and thanks to your video I was able to add windows to my Gaming PC using my MacBook as no one I knew had a regular laptop ( Lenovo/HP etc) following your video step by step I was able to move on after completing my build Thanks again 👍🏾
This worked like a charm. I wanted to make sure I comment to say thank you and recommend this method to anyone using a Mac to do this. Thank you so much! For anyone wondering, splitting the large file in 2 didn’t affect clean windows installation on my PC. This is explained in the version of this vid for Windows 11, but just thought I might put someone’s mind at rest since I wondered about that before going ahead
LIFE SAVER! Thank you! I've had a Win10 bootable USB, used it over the last 2 years without any issues. HOWEVER, this new PC I came across would not read it. Turns out, it was the fact that it was EXFAT. Using your guide I put it as Fat32 format, and now it is able to read through the boot sequence of this new ( and crappy) HP tower! The format was the difference. Thanks!!
Thank you! I have spent 4 hours searching on the internet this is the only method that work for me. Your tutorial is very detailed and novice friendly.
life saver!!! Just want to clarify this to everyone. If you just get the ISO from MS website and burn it directly on the USB you will have issues with the SATA and NVME drivers. On the other hand, using this method saves you the day and everything will work perfectly.
Exactly this helped for my B550i Aorus Pro AX (rev 1.0) clean install. It did support the Ryzen 5 5600X from the box with F11 BIOS, but couldn't read the exFAT formatted USB, where I regularly dropped the files from the ISO (no 4GB limit). If anyone wondering, you don't need to remove the 2 hidden folders on the USB (.spotlight- and .fs- something)
Unusual for me to comment but this was such a great guide (after a few attempts on my own part)! Works on a Mac 10.13.6 with a little bit of patience letting the code run. Thank you!
you saved me not only once but twice, in both of my installations of windows. Who needs bootcamp when you got jensd anyway? Thanks a lot man, I really really appreciate the help.
This worked great! I was able to create a bootable USB on my MBP with M1 Pro with Monterey. Windows installation went flawless on the laptop I was repairing.
I just want to say that I love you! I have been trying to reboot my pc from a flash drive since Friday. This video 100% helped me do that! Thank you so much!!! I can now play my game again
Being *nix user for years, I thought that using simple dd if=... like usual to burn ISO on flash drive is enough. Installer started, but I immediately had an issue with NVMe, it was not visible for Windows 11. Following your tutorial I was able to pass this step. Thank you a lot for sharing!
I just lost a whole day failing based on other tutorials, but this one FTW! At 2:19 here was the difference : I had not unhidden all volumes before formatting the USB before, so the Disk Utility didn't show the option drop down to set it as "MBR". Then upon booting and installing, the PC would not be able to process further and install. Did this with the USB formatted into MBR early enough made the USB operational for install. Thanks!
This literally did it, everything else did not work and couldn't use the Windows Creation Tool because the drive I was using before was being stupid and so Mac was my only hope and this worked perfectly, thank you!!
Hello. I want to take the time to leave a comment and thank you for this video that actually worked. I have been at this for 2 days now and finally I can get some sleep. If any other technical problems should arise I will be coming here first. Thanks once again. I just subscribed to make it easier.
I had tried so many other ways (including uubyte) to make a bootable windows 10 USB using my MAC with no luck, and was about to give up when I bumped into your tutorial. I followed your steps and finally ended up with a bootable Windows USB. Thank you!!
You found how do do an Windows bootable USB. You are wonderful. Just say, if someone has a problem with the wimlib-imagex command, and have a read-only error… just copy this big file in your desktop and try it using this. That. Working … and I can format a ssd too… WOW…
This was easy to follow. Thanks. I saw a lot of guides on the internet with whatever programs to install, but you know shit works when the terminal comes out. Thanks mate.
Thanks for this man. It was so much easier to make a bootable USB drive on a mac like 3 years ago. You could just use Bootcamp Assistant then. Now I don't think you can. What garbage. Thanks for this tutorial!
I have some other videos that could help you as well. Check out the rest of my channel. It can differ a bit per model but in general this is what you need.
Everything has been good up until the part where i have to split it at 05:25 After typing everything exactly the way you did it says "Some uncommon options are not listed; see `man wimsplit' for more details." I don't know what to do or maybe i did something wrong, please help, someone, thanks
Thank you for making this tutorial my pc needed to have a windows repair and I am new to the mac os and couldnt use the windows creation program but this is the only tutorial that worked thanks :)))))))))))))
I ran into an error in terminal at 5:13 Instead of installing wimlib, it claims to not find any available formula with the name "wimlib". Anything I can try to fix this?
Run these commands: rm -rf $(brew --repo homebrew/core) Then: brew tap homebrew/core After doing so, try to install wimlib. It may show an error that some commands need to run as sudo. Run those commands, install again and it works!
Are you using a Silicon-based Mac (M1/M2/M3/...)? In that case you will need to copy/paste the additionally mentioned commands after the copied brew installation script ran. See my blog for more details.
Thanks for this video. Very useful. Double clicking on the iso file does not open it on the OSX Ventura 13.3. Luckily Disk Utility => File => Open Disk Image does the trick.
When I have to split the file I write what is Nesscary but gives an error saying “wimlib-images split WIMFILE SPLIT_WIM_PART_1 PART_SIZE_MB {- - check} Please help me in the step
Do not play with the other external device titles like 'Windows 11' or something, I believe space might caused that issue. Just follow the same steps and use WINUSB as an external path.
i have paragon ntfs on my mac. and its added the ntfs file system in my disk utility when trying to erase the usb drive. can i select that one to avoid this extra steps?
Only the EFI boot option shows up when I insert the usb key and that launches something from mac, but no windows 11 boot option shows up. I did all the steps except the support software I downloaded through boot camp assistant. And I used a Windows 11 iso in stead of 10. Cant seem to find it on google :(
Hey im stuck in the minute 6:50, in my terminal trying to get cd downloads/brigadier-master (it literally says cd: no such file or directory: Downloads/brigadier-master) when I have the downloads file open and I see the file... Don't know what to do here, pls help im so near to fishing it 😭😭😭
A little note for anybody who also stumbles upon this problem! When I did the wimlib command, it threw an error that it didn't have read-write accessibility for the mounted ISO. As far as I know and looked, you can't change the permission on a windows iso. So the solution: simply copy the install.wim file to a readable map, I just put it in my document folder. Then run the command but use the new file path to the copied install.wim file. If you're unsure what the path is, you can mark the file, go into Show Info and right click the path and copy it. This should split it just fine! Cheers
It worked until i tried to install on my new pc. My problem was that when I went to install windows on the pc it said it couldn't find the file install.wim (the one that I split) help pls. (edit) I fixed it. You just have to rename both of them to install.wim and install(1).wim

Hi @jensd_be and ALL...: I can't find any mention of Intel vs. Silicon Macs. 🤷 Please 🙏 can anyone telll me if this should work on my M1 Silicon Macbook Air / Ventura. Many thans in advance, BK (UK) x
@@jensdbe Well that's just terrific mate - So, after all these hours 'succesfully' working thru this, (and another similar) video tutorial - I now finally know that it'll never work on my *actual* machine. I'll give it a go on my Toaster 🍞 in the morning, and let you know how I get on!... 🤭
Very Cool Tutorial, well explained......I do have a question though. the original file name in sources (install.wim) when we split the file according to you tutorial we renamed it to install.swm and install.swm1? wouldn't we want to keep the same name install.wim not install.swm?
did u correctly install homebrew first? if not, do that. If you're still getting an error after putting the correct command in, check if you have enough storage space, that's the only thing I can think of that would cause an error. I'm definitely not an expert so sry if this didn't help.
Overall, a nice video, but I'm still confused about the boot up part because I followed the instructions to the letter except for Brigadier and Wimlib because I thought you said we can use Homebrew or Wimlib, it doesn't matter, but you prefer us to use Homebrew, which I did, but I still downloaded Wimlib because I wasn't trying to download Windows on my Mac like I was trying to download Windows Boot Media on my Mac, but I'm getting a (3F0) Error on my Windows Laptop that what I am trying to fix they recommended your video so I am here but your kinda was easy and understand in not hard to do so what am I doing wrong
Thank you so much for this, Im just stumbling at the last hurdle and getting 'env: python: No such file or directory' when I type in './brigadier'. Any advise?
@@flashmasstock not really, the problem is not the size of the USB drive. It's the filesystem (FAT32) that does not allow larger files than 4GB. Other filesystems do exist but a lot of machines are not booting from that.
trying to instal windows 10 on 2009 MacBookpro. Every possible error in the book has been thrown at me including home-brew not installing and only goes to "may require password" tried it on a new 2017 MacBook Pro with same results even after installing x-code. I can create a 32 bit win 10 disc but my 2009 doesn't recognize it as a startup disc. pleeeaase help
Hey! Great video. But, I just wonder why don't we format USB to exFAT so we can copy files larger than 4GB in it? Or it will not work for booting windows?
Hi, when I try to download windows, it worked but it says windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space and needs to be partitioned as NTFS. Would you know what I’m going wrong?
Great guide, but had to fix an issue I ran into that may save someone a headache. If you did everything this guide said, but are being prompted with “Insert Windows installation disc 2.” when attempting to install onto your PC, make sure that when you follow the terminal command part of this video that you put install.swm instead of install.wim at the end before the 4000. It’s hard to see in this video and he doesn’t say it out loud, so easy to miss. So your terminal command should look like: wimlib-imagex split /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/sources/install.wim /Volumes/USB/sources/install.swm 4000 Also, where it says USB ^^ in that command prompt, that’s just the name I made for USB, make sure you put in the correct name of your USB in this part of the command. 👍🏼
i followed the steps for this video so i can install windows on my custom build pc and i came across the “Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation Error code: 0x80070570 ОК” message. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

Hey! Great video. But, I just wonder why don't we format USB to exFAT so we can copy files larger than 4GB in it? Or it will not work for booting windows?
most PCs won't recognize exFAT as a bootable drive.
Exactly this :)
Thanks! Better than those flash tools
Hi, when I try to download windows, it worked but it says windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space and needs to be partitioned as NTFS. Would you know what I’m going wrong?
Same is this happening to anyone else?
Yes me too
You need to partition ur usb stick to that format
Great guide, but had to fix an issue I ran into that may save someone a headache.
If you did everything this guide said, but are being prompted with “Insert Windows installation disc 2.” when attempting to install onto your PC, make sure that when you follow the terminal command part of this video that you put install.swm instead of install.wim at the end before the 4000. It’s hard to see in this video and he doesn’t say it out loud, so easy to miss. So your terminal command should look like:
wimlib-imagex split /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/sources/install.wim /Volumes/USB/sources/install.swm 4000
Also, where it says USB ^^ in that command prompt, that’s just the name I made for USB, make sure you put in the correct name of your USB in this part of the command. 👍🏼
Thank you !
i followed the steps for this video so i can install windows on my custom build pc and i came across the “Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation
Error code: 0x80070570
ОК” message. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?
Great video and really helpful.
