Hi all, sorry to hijack the thread but i'll be having to do a clean install of windows 10 on a new build pc next month. Am i able to create a windows 10 bootable usb install drive from within mac os? I don't currently have a windows pc and only have an imac. So can i format the usb stick as fat32?

You need to format it as ExFAT

Do you already have the Windows 10 ISO file?

no, not yet - just making mental preparations as it were for when i get the components next month. So i'm able to create the bootable install usb from within mac os without the need for bootcamp etc?

A quick google leads me to this and I know it works because I have used it before myself on my mac.
