It&#8217;s also a good way to create a bootable installer for macOS in case your Mac doesn&#8217;t have an optical drive, or you want to install macOS on a Windows PC.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, we will be discussing how to install macOS from USB on your mac. This is a process that is not difficult but does require some specific steps in order to be completed correctly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Would_You_Need_to_Install_macOS_From_a_USB\"><\/span>Why Would You Need to Install macOS From a USB?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few reasons why you might need to install macOS from a USB drive.<br \/>\n1. The most common reason is if your Mac is having issues starting up from its internal hard drive. If this is the case, you can use a USB drive to start up your Mac and then install macOS on it.<\/p>\n<p>2. Another reason is if you&#8217;re trying to install an older version of macOS on a computer that doesn&#8217;t support that version.<\/p>\n<p>3. Another reason you might need to install macOS from a USB drive is if you want to create a \"<strong>clean install<\/strong>\" of macOS. This means that you will erase everything on your Mac and then install a fresh copy of macOS. This can be helpful if you are having issues with your Mac that you cannot seem to fix.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Install_macOS_From_a_USB_on_Mac\"><\/span>How to Install macOS From a USB on Mac?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need\"><\/span>What You Need<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In order to install macOS from USB on your mac, you will need the following items:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A USB drive that is at least 8 GB in size<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The macOS installer (this can be downloaded from the App Store)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A Mac that is compatible with the version of macOS that you are installing<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Download_macOS\"><\/span>Step 1.
