And is it then bootable
@@michaeljensen4737 yes
it won't let me move the zip to a usb drive.
@@CashMoneyBowTie you just move the files that are inside of it into the zip
It wont let me boot up from the drive
Dude I've been in IT for over a decade and this was by far the easiest walkthrough I have ever followed.
Thanks!
The same man :)
Started the video, got right into it. No jawjackin', no backstory... just clear, easy steps. UA-cam needs more like you. Keep this up. Subscribed.
Thank you! I've seen so many people just go on and on for minutes for now reason. I try to get straight to the point. I'm glad someone appreciates it!
My man, you are the absolute GOAT. I have been stuck trying to install Windows on my new build, and I only had Mac OS on hand. You sir, are a legend.
Thank You!
OMIGAWD! I was trying everything, with no success, and losing sleep and getting crazy trying to create this bootable Windows 10 USB from my Mac to have a way to resurrect my husband's recently demised Lenovo (following the most recent Windows update--Thanks, Microsoft!). Your instructions were VERY clear, easy to follow, and even though I had a bit of a time installing Homebrew (totally on me and my sleep deprivation), I got it to work and created the Windows 10 bootable USB. All thanks to you, Theo! I am subscribing and singing your praises on social media!
Thank you so much!
Keep making videos like this, you were so concise with your info and sometimes this stuff can get really daunting if you're not super familiar with it. Hopefully I can get back to streaming soon!! Thanks Theo!
You're Welcome!
You sir, deserve the silver medal of the internet ! What a great and simple way to solve an issue that has taken other AGES to explain and tiker wit.
Thank you!
Your a life saver! Just built my first PC after using a Mac for years you made my final step so easy. THANK YOU!
You're Welcome!
When you boot up the custom pc for the first time, do you just have to click the SETUP.EXE files, or was it easy to setup on the custom pc after plugging the usb
it’s funny how this is a 7 minute video compared to all the 15+ minute videos everyone else posts 😂 great explaining, very clear, and this video is the only reason my pc works again! thanks!
You're Welcome!
I’ve been looking for HOURS for a fix and this is exactly what I needed. Quick and to the point, subscribed!
Thank you!
After trying and failing with other tutorials, this one was by far the easiest and it worked. Good stuff Theo!
Thank you!
Awesome video! I am a software developer and I couldn't find any clear information on how to do this. It saved me a lot of time
Thank you!
This is absolutely the greatest tutorial I have ever watched. Thank you a thousand times, I had been trying to install windows for a week.
You're welcome!
Idk how the hell you know all of this but you just came in clutch. I appreciate your help bro. Subbed.
Thank You!
I want to earnestly thank you! this is the one solution that worked for me when all other solutions had issues and errors.
No problem. Glad it worked!
Hi Theo, I did everything to a tee, but when I tried to install windows on my pc, it says "windows could not collect information for osimage install.wim". What do I do?
second time I Watched your video to create the drive again, thank you ..
You're welcome!
Best guide ever, straight to the point and easy to follow!
Thank You!
bro you're a damn genius, I have spent forever trying to boot from USB with my mac!
Thank you. Glad it helped!
THEO! You're awesome man! Thank you so much! Your video was the best one I watched on this issue. You articulate very well and it sounds like you have a bright future with the hard work you are putting in. Keep up the great work and love the content you're posting. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much!
Hey man. Real talk this was the best tutorial for this a year later.
Thank you!
Doing everything you did and typing everything in that you typed, all I end up with is "command not found: wimlib". What am I missing here? This seems like it shouldn't be this difficult for me.
Did you make sure homebrew successfully installed wimlib?
@@TheosTechTips how would i do that
@@judekolkana same thing happened here
@@judekolkanaIts cus he didn’t show you how to download homebrew he just told you how so you have to copy the homebrew command and paste it and then type the commands
You saved me so much stress because all the other tutorials are downloading the windows media on a windows device. Im on a mac and i almost punched my screen trying to figure out whats wrong. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Is downloading wimlib and home brew necessary if I have enough space on my usb?
It’s not about space so yes
Worked like a charm. It's funny, with all of the different apps out there, the only thing that works is command line. Thank you for the guide! You saved my sanity.
You're welcome!
5:59 I get:
[ERROR] Can't open "/Volumes/CCOMA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV9/sources/install.wim" read-only: No such file or directory
ERROR: Exiting with error code 47:
Failed to open a file.
did you fix it?
@@mastermind5099 i had the same error, the problem was that i put the same sources folder twice, not the usb
MY DUDE! This was so easy to follow. Thank you!
You're welcome. Glad it helped!
I can’t get past the homebrew step when I run the command in terminal I get an error
Me too. Did you figure it out?
This is one of the best guides I have ever found! Thank you so much for this video!!
You're welcome!
Had to restore windows on my gaming pc. I've never used MAC, and you did an excellent job explaining. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
THANKS BUT TELL ME HOW TO FUCKING DESLECT HOLY SHIT
Hold command and click on the file you want to deselect
acutally the easiest video to make an bootable win 10 usb stick on Mac without any complaints and errors. I love it!
Thank you!
@@TheosTechTips Youre welcome!
thanks theo, wimlibs dosent work on old macs, the zip you gave us helped me a lot
No problem. Glad it helped!
Short simple to the point no confusion...this is what you call a tutorial😌...thanks
You're Welcome!
Hi thank you so much I just built my new pc and had no idea what to do and nothing online helped except this video. You are doing great keep up with the channel u have a bright future ahead of u!!
Thank you!
Dude you're literally so underrated and especially at such a young age. Don't give up. You just earned a sub
Thank you!
Usually i dont really comment on videos, but this one helped me so much that i had to comment on it. Thank you!!!
This legitimately was the push I needed to finally install homebrew lol, seeing a kid use it. I'm still new to Mac/Unix, thanks for the tech tips
You're Welcome!
Really great tutorial showing all the steps needed to create the windows bootable usb.
Thank you!
I almost died when that paid sponsorship hit, congrats, you sound young and like you’re doing really well too!
Thank you!
Great job, man! This was really useful info. I had trouble burning an image to a DVD with the newer Mac OS X updates and found this was the best way. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! I've looked at a lot of guides and yours is the only one that worked.
You're welcome!
This is an excellent video! Thank you for the clear and concise instruction. Other bulletin boards were stating software purchase was necessary (to create a bootable disk from a Mac) and your video proves it clearly untrue. My Gigabyte Brix is now a Windows 10 machine and I appreciate the assist. Great job and thanks again!
You're welcome!
1:32
Under disk utility
The “Format: Ms-DOS (FAT)” option isn’t available on my Mac. I only see APFS (encrypted, case-sensitive, etc).
How do I get through here?
Hmmm. Are you sure the USB is selected?
Just worked for me with Mac M1, thank you very much!!
You're welcome. Glad it helped!
First off, thank you, second off, you have great music taste.
Thank you. I'm surprised you noticed!
I tried 3 different methods before yours and all failed! Kudos to you! Thanks a lot for making such useful video.
You're Welcome!
THKS Theo, I tried many other things, but your video helped a lot
You're Welcome!
Theo, I really appreciate this video. It helped me so much
Thank you!
My man you did the job. Thank you! Keep it with good and simple work!
Thank you!
can anyone help me troubleshoot ? I followed the exact steps in the video but when I use the usb only a windows logo pops up and nothing else happens
I’m using a 64gb usb and a 2017 intel MacBook air
Thank you so much my pc needed a flash drive with windows and I’m gonna go try this tomorrow and see if it works
I don't understand the beginning part of the terminal thing because when I type the command it say incorrect in terminal
What did you type? Make sure it's word-for-word correct.
Excellent. Perfect. Worked. Why wasn't school like THIS!
Thank You!
Thank You, You help me a lot!! Coz of You I was able repair my wife's laptop.

Thank you!
Perfect instructions my dude. Thank you!

You're welcome!
Help!! I followed all the steps and I ejected the drive, but when I insert it into my pc to install it’s saying no drivers were found…
Try using the ZIP link in the video's description. I might have the drivers.
Thanks for the tutorial! It was very easy and straightforward. Keep up the good work!👍

Wow, what a great tutorial. I need more tutorials on how to use Terminal.

You have to install Homebrew. Go to their website (brew.sh) and follow the instructions.

Why does the usb need to be in Fat 32 on Mac?
You can try using exFat, but I've only seen it working with FAT32, I haven't tried exFat.
Thanks for the help. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen!
Thank You!
hey awesome video!! i just wondered how do i boot now with the usb?
i put it in the macbook and startet it with fn+control+option+command+power but i dont see the windows stick or some other medium?
Awesome Kid, great work. Keep doing stuffs like that

Ive tried to boot my new laptop but it tells me "Windows cannot open the required file: instal.swm" is there anything i can do to fix it?
Try using the link in the pinned comment instead of splitting the files and make sure the drive is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT).
@@TheosTechTips Where´'s the link?
@@fiorellalopezpezo709 In the pinned comment
