Option A: Duplicate the Boot Camp Assistant application package.Ĭopy the /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app application package to another location, such as your ~/Desktop/. Then, because Boot Camp Assistant is part of the operating system, in newer versions of macOS it is protected from editing, so you need to work around this limitation. Obtain permission to edit Boot Camp Assistant's Property List file. To do so, you need to tell Boot Camp Assistant that your Mac supports the necessary options and Windows versions, by editing the ist property list file within its application package. in these cases, the option to create bootable USB disks for installing Windows has been suppressed within Boot Camp Assistant.īut you should still be able to use Boot Camp Assistant to create bootable USB disks for installing Windows on other computers, right? However, some Mac computers don't support booting from external USB devices, or don't support certain versions of Windows in Boot Camp, etc. In macOS, Boot Camp Assistant ( Finder → Applications → Utilities → Boot Camp Assistant) has the ability to create bootable USB disks for installing Windows in Boot Camp on a Mac computer.

This information applies specifically to the following system, but may also apply to other hardware/software versions: OPTIONAL: Re-enable System Integrity Protection (recommended). Code-sign the edited application package (if necessary). OPTIONAL: Restore original permissions (recommended).

Obtain your Mac's "Model Identifier" and "Boot ROM Version".
