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.
