Создание загружаемого установщика для macOS

В качестве загрузочного диска для установки операционной системы на компьютер Mac можно использовать внешний диск или дополнительный том.

Эти расширенные инструкции предназначены в первую очередь для системных администраторов и других пользователей, имеющих опыт работы с командной строкой. Загружаемый установщик не требуется для обновления macOS или переустановки macOS, но он может оказаться удобен, если требуется выполнить установку на несколько компьютеров, не загружая установщик заново каждый раз.

Что нужно для создания загружаемого установщика:

• USB-накопитель или другой дополнительный том, отформатированный в Mac OS Extended, на котором есть не менее 14 ГБ свободного пространства;
• загруженный установщик для macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra или El Capitan.

Загрузка macOS

• Загрузка macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave или macOS High Sierra
  Эти элементы загружаются в папку «Программы» в виде приложения с именем «Установка macOS [ название версии ]». Если после загрузки запустится установщик, завершите его работу без продолжения установки. Чтобы получить подходящий установщик, выполняйте загрузку с компьютера Mac, на котором используется macOS Sierra 10.12.5 или более поздней версии либо El Capitan 10.11.6. Корпоративным администраторам следует производить загрузку с сайта Apple, а не с сервера обновления ПО, размещенного в локальной сети.
• Загрузка OS X El Capitan
  В результате этого действия загрузится образ диска с именем InstallMacOSX.dmg. На компьютере Mac, совместимом с El Capitan, откройте образ диска и запустите с него установщик с именем InstallMacOSX.pkg. Приложение с именем «Установка OS X El Capitan» будет установлено в папку «Программы». Загружаемый установщик создается именно из этого приложения, а не из образа диска или установщика .pkg.

Использование команды createinstallmedia в приложении «Терминал»

1. Подключите USB-накопитель или другой том, используемый для загружаемого установщика.
2. Откройте приложение «Терминал» в подпапке «Утилиты» папки «Программы».
3. Введите или вставьте в приложение «Терминал» одну из следующих команд. Предполагается, что установщик находится в папке «Программы», а имя MyVolume обозначает USB-накопитель или другой используемый вами том. Укажите вместо MyVolume имя своего тома в следующих командах.

Big Sur*:

Catalina*:

Mojave*:

High Sierra*:

El Capitan:

* Если на компьютере Mac установлена операционная система macOS Sierra или более ранней версии, включите аргумент —applicationpath и путь установки аналогично тому, как это делается в случае команды для El Capitan.

После набора команды

1. Нажмите «Ввод», чтобы ввести команду.
2. При появлении запроса введите пароль администратора и нажмите клавишу «Ввод» еще раз. При вводе пароля приложение «Терминал» не отображает вводимые символы.
3. При появлении запроса нажмите клавишу Y , чтобы подтвердить удаление всех данных на томе, затем клавишу «Ввод». Приложение «Терминал» показывает прогресс по мере стирания тома.
4. После стирания тома может быть отображено предупреждение о том, что приложению «Терминал» требуется доступ к файлам на съемном томе. Нажмите «OK», чтобы продолжить копирование.
5. Когда приложение «Терминал» сообщит о завершении процесса, имя тома будет совпадать с именем загруженного установщика, например «Установка macOS Big Sur». После этого можно закрыть приложение «Терминал» и извлечь том.

64GB or more free storage space on your Mac startup disk:

• Your Mac can have as little as 64GB of free storage space, but at least 128GB of free storage space provides the best experience. Automatic Windows updates require that much space or more.
• If you have an iMac Pro or Mac Pro with 128GB of memory (RAM) or more, your startup disk needs at least as much free storage space as your Mac has memory. 2

An external USB flash drive with a storage capacity of 16GB or more, unless you’re using a Mac that doesn’t need a flash drive to install Windows.

A 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro on a disk image (ISO) or other installation media. If installing Windows on your Mac for the first time, this must be a full version of Windows, not an upgrade.

• If your copy of Windows came on a USB flash drive, or you have a Windows product key and no installation disc, download a Windows 10 disk image from Microsoft.
• If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you might need to create a disk image of that DVD.

How to install Windows 10 on Mac

To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.

1. Check your Secure Boot setting

Learn how to check your Secure Boot setting. The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows.

2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition

Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the onscreen instructions.

• If you’re asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
• When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can’t change its size later.

3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition

When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.

4. Install Windows

Unplug any external devices that aren’t necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.

5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows

After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.

• If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
• If you have an external display connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, the display will be blank (black, gray, or blue) for up to 2 minutes during installation.

How to switch between Windows and macOS

Restart, then press and hold the Option (or Alt) ⌥ key during startup to switch between Windows and macOS.

How to create a Windows 10 installer USB drive from a Mac

We previously showed you how to create a Windows 10 USB installation media when performing a clean install of Windows 10, but there might be an instance where the only machine you have available is a Mac. We’ll show you to create a bootable USB flash drive with the Windows 10 installer from a Mac. It’s easier than you think, thanks to the built-in Boot Camp Assistant from Apple.

Download Windows 10 Disc Image

First, you need to download the Windows 10 ISO file. Go to the download page and select the proper edition of Windows 10 in the dropdown menu. If you don’t know what K, KN, or Single Language edition stands for, just select Windows 10 in the list.

Create USB installer with Boot Camp Assistant

After downloading the ISO file, you’ll need to use Boot Camp Assistant to move it to a bootable USB drive.

1. Insert a USB flash drive to your Mac. Make sure it’s at least 8GB, which is usually marked on the USB stick. You can also check by right-clicking the USB drive on your desktop and clicking Get Info. Check if the number next to Capacity is at least 8GB. All the files in the drive will be deleted, so make sure there are no important documents inside.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant. The easiest way to launch it is through Spotlight Search, which you can bring up by pressing Command and Spacebar. Press Enter to launch the app.
3. Check the box for «Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk» and deselect «Install Windows 7 or later version.»

Click Continue to proceed.

Boot Camp Assistant will automatically locate the ISO file from your downloads folder, but make sure it is the right file. Click the «Choose…» button and locate the ISO file. Make sure the destination disk is the USB thumb drive you’ve inserted.

Click Continue. It can take about 20 minutes to format and set up the USB installer on the Mac.

When Boot Camp Assistant is done, the USB drive will be renamed to WININSTALL. Click Quit to close the app and then Eject the USB drive.

That’s it! You now have a bootable USB drive with the Windows 10 installer. You can use it to configure new Windows 10 PCs from scratch. We told you it was easy!
