OMIGAWD! I was trying everything, with no success, and losing sleep and getting crazy trying to create this bootable Windows 10 USB from my Mac to have a way to resurrect my husband's recently demised Lenovo (following the most recent Windows update--Thanks, Microsoft!). Your instructions were VERY clear, easy to follow, and even though I had a bit of a time installing Homebrew (totally on me and my sleep deprivation), I got it to work and created the Windows 10 bootable USB. All thanks to you, Theo! I am subscribing and singing your praises on social media!
Hi theo, i am almost crying happy tears YOUR VIDEO WAS THE ONE!! You have no idea the misery i have been through for the last 3 months because of all the troubleshooting, blogs, tutorials, chatgpt etc. I have been looking forward to see the Windows installation window for soo long, losing sleep, and I almost gave up on my Lenovo Legion, but i searched one last time and found your video - and i’m glad I did. With the help of my mac and your clear steps, I’m finally able to factory reset my laptop. Thank you so much for making this video, and I wish you nothing but success and happiness. So young but so bright i’m impressed🙏🙏
Keep making videos like this, you were so concise with your info and sometimes this stuff can get really daunting if you're not super familiar with it. Hopefully I can get back to streaming soon!! Thanks Theo!
it’s funny how this is a 7 minute video compared to all the 15+ minute videos everyone else posts 😂 great explaining, very clear, and this video is the only reason my pc works again! thanks!
When you boot up the custom pc for the first time, do you just have to click the SETUP.EXE files, or was it easy to setup on the custom pc after plugging the usb
Hi Theo, I did everything to a tee, but when I tried to install windows on my pc, it says "windows could not collect information for osimage install.wim". What do I do?
You saved me so much stress because all the other tutorials are downloading the windows media on a windows device. Im on a mac and i almost punched my screen trying to figure out whats wrong. Thank you.
Doing everything you did and typing everything in that you typed, all I end up with is "command not found: wimlib". What am I missing here? This seems like it shouldn't be this difficult for me.
@@judekolkanaIts cus he didn’t show you how to download homebrew he just told you how so you have to copy the homebrew command and paste it and then type the commands

THEO! You're awesome man! Thank you so much! Your video was the best one I watched on this issue. You articulate very well and it sounds like you have a bright future with the hard work you are putting in. Keep up the great work and love the content you're posting. Liked and subscribed!
Worked like a charm. It's funny, with all of the different apps out there, the only thing that works is command line. Thank you for the guide! You saved my sanity.
Hi thank you so much I just built my new pc and had no idea what to do and nothing online helped except this video. You are doing great keep up with the channel u have a bright future ahead of u!!
1:32 Under disk utility The “Format: Ms-DOS (FAT)” option isn’t available on my Mac. I only see APFS (encrypted, case-sensitive, etc). How do I get through here?
Great job, man! This was really useful info. I had trouble burning an image to a DVD with the newer Mac OS X updates and found this was the best way. Thanks!
This is an excellent video! Thank you for the clear and concise instruction. Other bulletin boards were stating software purchase was necessary (to create a bootable disk from a Mac) and your video proves it clearly untrue. My Gigabyte Brix is now a Windows 10 machine and I appreciate the assist. Great job and thanks again!
Thank you so much, such a simple tutorial to follow! Have been googling different methods but they all didnt work and one day I thought "why not try the good ole youtube tutorial" and bam you saved my PC from going into the junkyard :) keep it up!!
Great little tutorial... One of the first I followed from start to finish that just worked.... Hope you go on to to make a real go of RUclips tutorials..
Hi! thanks for the tutorial, i manage to install home-brew but i'm having a problem with the installation of wimlib. when i write the command "brew install wimlib" the terminal says that such a command not found. Help please! thank you so much
you have to follow the steps after the homebrew installation command is executed it was “x” something and then you just follow the instructions on the terminal

And is it then bootable

it won't let me move the zip to a usb drive.
@@CashMoneyBowTie you just move the files that are inside of it into the zip
It wont let me boot up from the drive

Is downloading wimlib and home brew necessary if I have enough space on my usb?
It’s not about space so yes

After trying to split the wim file, I get “Some uncommon options are not listed; see ‘man wimsplit’ for more details. What can I do to solve this?

I can’t get past the homebrew step when I run the command in terminal I get an error
Me too. Did you figure it out?

It has to do with your internet, if it’s too slow it’ll give out errors. Just keep trying

If it’s not working. During erasing the USB partition under “format” there should sometimes be a third line “scheme” choose GUID partition map.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice work, Theo!
Thank you!
Good job I have been doing IT for over 20 years and never did this before
Thank you!
everything on ur video worked, but what do i do next how do i open it?
