How to Easily Create a Bootable macOS (Monterey) USB Install Drive with ANY macOS

If you are looking to install macOS on another computer, then you first need to create a bootable MacOS USB installer drive with the macOS version of your preference. In this video, I am showing you how to do it by using macOS Monterey, as it's the latest major macOS release by Apple at the time of making this video.

Please, make sure that your USB stick is at least 16GB of storage. In case you are looking to purchase a new USB stick, here are my top recommendations:

If you are a MacBook user and you only have USB Type-C ports and you need an adaptor to plug in your USB, I am recommending the following options:

Dude can't find the article which contains the macOS downloaded link please help me out

I had to use an older Mac to access the older version of MacOS I wanted. Once downloaded I tried your instructions but kept getting the -69888 0 when wiping the stick. After some digging I discovered that trying another USB stick is needed. Used a better quality stick and then it worked like a charm.

Can I do this method for putting Monterey on a 2010 MBP that’s unsupported now??
I currently used open core legacy patcher to put Monterey on the Mac, but if I need to use a flash drive to boot it later if I have problems, what’s the proper way to ready the flash drive for this?

Thanks a lot for posting this. I found your video extremely informative however, I hope you can help me with the following; I was running a mac 5, 1 with high Sierra using a Radeon RX 560 graphics card. I want to update to Monterrey but I don't have access to the boot screen. I created a bootable USB drive and I have an empty SSD, how can I force the mac to boot from the USB in order to complete the OS install and continue to use the RX 560 graphics card? I am sure I'm not the only person with this issue... Thanks

You didn’t post the link to the article with the terminal commands.

Will this work for installing on PCs? or just Apple hardware?

What do you have to do to use the macOS bootable usb for a windows computer so that I can have macOS on that computer.

I can't enter my password in the terminal

[stevedirdochegal]

I did all of it but if I try pull my usb drive named "new" into the terminal and hit enter after entering my password it says 

Password:
/Volumes/MyVolume/Volumes/new is not a valid volume mount point.

What am I missing?
