HOW TO MAKE A BOOTABLE MAC OSX HIGH SIERRA WIN 10 | 2023 GUIDE | READ DESCRIPTION (1/2)

Here's a tutorial for making a bootable High Sierra .DMG image file for Mac OSX on win 10. I recently worked on a MacBook Pro Retina 15" A1398. It had the folder with the "?" in it and would not boot into MacOS. Using this method I was able to successfully install MacOS.

Originally I planned to make a second video to this, but realized the steps to actually boot from the USB drive are super simple, (granted the USB drive is recognized by the mac and DMG file worked).

Check out part 2 of this video!

Turn on the mac and wait until you hear the chime. Then press and hold the "OPTION" key until you see the boot menu pop up and it will list your drives. Then select the USB drive.

Link to Part 2 for quick fixes for common issues.

Email me if you want the High Sierra DMG file.

Commands to Run:
diskpart
list disk
select disk (your disk number)
clean
convert GPT
create partition primary

Post your questions in the comments below and I will get back to you!

Honestly, I was expecting this to fail, like many other videos and walkthroughs I've seen but you kind sir, are a king! Followed this video and the follow up and I finally managed to re-install High Sierra on my crappy Mac (Apple's janky internet recovery crap just kept failing..)
Thank you again!

You are a GENIUS! And a life saver. I was given this old mac…and I want it for my mother who is very old. It has taken me 3 weeks and you did it for me instantly.

Thank you again!
God Bless!!!

Thank you brother. I was locked out my old mac because of forgotten password. I woke up to this video and after creating the bootable USB again I have my laptop working again? Now the next step is Bootcamp!

Did this three times with two different USB drives (16gb and32), while hitting option key and starting macbook, I only see the hard drive but not the usb drive.
EDIT: I used the dmg file from the link in the description and it worked.

This worked for me in 2024 if you are having trouble trying to install high sierra and get this error “This copy of the Install macOS High Sierra application is damaged, and can't be used to install macOS” turn the wifi off and set the date back to 2014 in date and time preference and it’ll download right away. I’ve been up for over 24 hours trying to update this mac and this is the only video that has worked for me.

Thanks for the access to the file on Google drive 🙌🙌

lifesaver right here. Helped me twice, with this video and with part 2. Tried booting with the DMG file from the apple site first, but on starting up it couldn't find the usb drive. Using your file fixed it. Thanks a lot!

Managed to fix an old Macbook Air 2015 that was not loading properly thanks to this. Struggled to find a .dmg bootable file for High Sierra. Others suggested installing Sierra first since the .dmg is available from Apple directly (High Sierra is not) but the macbook would not recognise my USB stick. Using transmac again however with the High Sierra .dmg provided here worked perfectly. Thank you very much for the file :)

What a helpful, straightforward, no BS tutorial! Kudos to you bro! Thank you very much

OMG, i love you so much. You literally saved my life. I recently bought a used machine, but there was a problem with its software, so I wanted to reinstall it. It fell during the installation, a pretty big problem, it failed to install and the machine became unusable. Unfortunately, I don't have another MAC machine, so my options were quite limited. I've been trying to create an installer for days, but I just couldn't do it, I started to give up. But now, thanks to you, I managed to solve the problem and can use the machine. A thousand thanks, you are the best!

Hi, I send you for access of DMG FILE and thank you for this tutorial

[caballerosuave]

@Tech Control the video was easy to follow. You have a new subscriber!

[hammabsd]

[djzman]

Great video. I did send you Email asking for the DMG bootable image.

Thanks again for making videos like this.

OMG ive watched several videos and you have no idea how much you saved me. I bought this 2011 mac from a pawn shop and tried to clear former profiles by deleting it but the whole mac got delete. she was so sad thinking we may have to return it to the pawn shop. i did everything right prior just no one explained you have to extract the file first. and for that you get a follow out of me my friend

I was trying step by step this list (and of cours I watched your part one video), but it is doesn't work for me. If I turn on my imac and I use option (it was the first one try) or command+r function keys (it was the second one) my USB is not sees in the list, just only EFI Boot. What's wrong with this? And I have an another problem. My imac doesn't able to connect to the internet (wifi connection is working, and I can see the apple website in safe mode of safari) but the recovery server is not available.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This video (in combination with the other part 2 video) helped me to resolve my issue which i have been fighting with for an entire day. There are so many videos all repeating the same default stuff. None of that worked for me though. I used almost everything you suggested in your video(s). Have a great day, week, month, year, decade!

Was working with a corrupt dmg. The source mentioned here was the lifesaver. Thank you!
