Windows

make a Windows 10 boot-able USB stick in MacOS

1. Format the USB stick For me, UEFI Mode is used in BIOS.

It’s working when USB stick is formatted with FAT32+MBR(Master Boot Record) option.

If I use exFAT32+GPT(GUID Partition Map) option, the USB stick can not boot.

2. Mount ISO file and USB stick, and copy all files in ISO to USB.
