Method 1. Using A Portable Windows USB Drive

Windows To Go Creator for AOMEI Partition Assistant is a tool that allows us to create a portable Windows USB drive that needs a drive to contain your Windows system as well as program and configuration information. It has a feature called "Windows To Go creator", which allows you to create Windows to Go USB drive and run it on any Mac computer.

Steps to create bootable Windows USB for Mac

Now you can download it to have a try and follow the steps to create Windows to Go USB device for Mac computers.

AOMEI Partition Assistant

The Best Windows Disk Partition Manager and PC Optimizer

Before you do:

You need to be on a computer running Windows 10 to make a working USB flash drive. Windows 11/10/8/7 all have this feature that you can use to make an SSD that can boot and other portable hard drives.

This tool works with both Legacy and UEFI boot modes, but it can only start up in UEFI mode.

You can use any USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1 drive, SSD, or HDD, but a USB 3.1 device is better because it makes the usable drive and starts up the Mac faster.

You have to convert the USB external hard drive to GPT partition style.

Download a 64-bit version of Windows 10 a disk image (ISO) from Microsoft.

Step 1. Insert an empty USB drive (over 32GB) to a Windows 10 computer via USB port. It is better to choose USB drive from famous manufacturers such as Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston, etc.

Step 2. Select “Tools” on the main interface and hit “Windows To Go Creator”.

Step 3. In the pop-out small window, select “Create Windows ToGo for Mac computer” and hit on “Next”.

Step 4. Then select source file (the Windows 10 ISO files you have download) by clicking the folder icon and click “Next”.

Step 5. Select the USB drive you have plugged in and hit on “Proceed”.

Note: you can click the “Advanced” button to choose the type of created system and target system startup mode.

Step 6. Then wait for the process to be done.

Installing Windows 10 on a USB drive will take a long time. Once the installation is complete, you can safely remove the USB drive from your Windows computer and then connect it to your target Mac computer. If your Mac computer only has an USB-C interface, connecting the USB drives will require a USB C Transformer adapter, then turn on the Mac computer's power supply and press the Option button immediately. Select your USB drive and click back on it to run Windows 10 in Mac via USB device.

Method 2. Installing Windows Operating System On Mac

This is the second way to run a motorcycle emulator on a Mac device. Apple recommends using BootCamp to install and run Windows on macOS, although the process is complicated but works smoothly.

Step 1. To install Windows on an external drive, you will need an external SSD, an external keyboard and mouse, a Windows PC or laptop, an external SSD, BootCamp support tools, and a Windows ISO file (Windows 10 is suggested).

Step 2. Turn off the security protections on your Mac. Once the Apple logo appears, hold down the command and R keys. Enter the recovery area via booting. Next, select Utilities > Security Utility Startup. To enable booting from external media, select No Security.

Step 3. After that, turn on your MacBook and attach the external disk. The BootCamp support drivers and files must be downloaded and copied to the external storage device that is attached.

Note: In order to install Windows OS on your Mac, BootCamp will partition the HDD. Make sure the requested partition size is at least 64GB when it comes to setting it.

Step 4. To download the driver, launch BootCamp Assistant, select the Action menu, and select Windows Support Software. To save the files in the root folder, choose the USB drive as the destination.

Step 5. This external drive is used to boot up the Mac device. To do this, select external storage as the boot disk by holding down the Option key until the Apple logo appears. UEFI should be written on it.

Step 6. You just need to install the required drivers and set up your Windows account to get started! After that, you can enjoy the Car Mechanic Simulator in peace by installing it.

Conclusion

In this article, we have considered two powerful ways to play Auto Mechanical Simulator on macOS. Even though the game lacks basic support for this platform, players can enjoy this popular simulation game on Mac either using a Windows portable USB drive with AOMEI Partition Assistant or using BootCamp. If you follow the instructions carefully, you will be able to run the motorcycle simulator smoothly and expand your virtual car repair business on Mac.

FAQs

  1. Can I play Car Mechanic Simulator 2023 directly on macOS without installing Windows?

    • Unfortunately, no. Car Mechanic Simulator is not natively compatible with macOS, and requires you to install Windows through a portable USB drive or via BootCamp to play the game.
  2. Do I need a Windows PC to create a portable Windows USB drive for my Mac?

    • Yes, you need a Windows PC to create a working Windows USB drive using the AOMEI Partition Assistant. Once the USB drive is ready, you can use it to boot Windows on your Mac.
  3. Which method is better: a portable Windows USB drive or installing Windows via BootCamp?

    • Both methods have their advantages. The portable Windows USB drive offers flexibility and portability, while BootCamp provides a more integrated and seamless Windows experience on your Mac. Choose based on your preference and technical comfort level.
  4. Will running Car Mechanic Simulator on my Mac via these methods affect my macOS performance?

    • Running the game through either method should not affect the performance of macOS itself. However, ensure you have sufficient storage space and that your Mac meets the system requirements for optimal gameplay.
  5. Is there any risk of data loss or damage to my Mac while installing Windows?

    • Installing Windows via BootCamp partitions your Mac's internal drive, which could lead to potential data loss if not done carefully. It's advisable to back up your data before beginning the process. Using a portable Windows USB drive minimizes this risk as it doesn’t involve internal drive partitioning.
