How to Create a Bootable Windows 10 USB Drive from Your Mac's Terminal

Are you looking for ways to create a bootable Windows 10 USB drive from your Mac? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a bootable Windows 10 USB drive using your Mac's Terminal.

Step 1: Plug in a USB Drive

The first step is to plug in a USB drive with at least 16 GB of storage space into the USB port on your Mac. Make sure that the USB drive is empty and has enough space to hold the Windows 10 ISO file.

Step 2: Open Terminal

To open the Terminal, press Command + Spacebar, type Terminal, and launch it. Alternatively, you can go to Finder and click Applications > Utilities > Terminal.

Step 3: Find Your USB Name

In the Terminal window, paste the following command and hit the Enter key to get the list of connected devices:

`diskutil list`

Note down the name of your USB drive for the next step.

Step 4: Erase the Disk

Next, you need to erase the disk using the following command:

`iskutil eraseDisk MS-DOS 'WINDOWS10'`

Replace `WINDOWS10` with the actual name of your USB drive.

Step 5: Download Windows ISO File

Now, download the Windows ISO file from the Official Microsoft Website on your Mac. You can find the link for the download by clicking on the 'Windows 10 Bootable USB'(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) page and selecting the correct edition (32-bit or 64-bit) for your PC.

Step 6: Copy the Windows ISO File

Once you have downloaded the ISO file, copy it to the USB drive using the following command:

`cp /path/to/iso/file.iso /Volumes/WINDOWS10`

Replace `/path/to/iso/file.iso` with the actual path of the ISO file and `WINDOWS10` with the name of your USB drive.

Step 7: Create Bootable USB Drive

Finally, to make the USB drive bootable, use the following command:

`dd if=/path/to/iso/file.iso of=/dev/diskX bs=1m`

Replace `/path/to/iso/file.iso` with the actual path of the ISO file and `diskX` with the name of your USB drive.

That's it! You have successfully created a bootable Windows 10 USB drive using your Mac's Terminal. You can now use this USB drive to install Windows 10 on any PC or fix problems with your current OS.
