The Best Way to Make a macOS Sequoia Bootable USB on any PC or Mac
Apple introduced the macOS 15 (code name Sequoia) on June 11 at WWDC 2024. Sadly, the public beta of macOS Sequoia is only available for Macs being enrolled in Apple Developer Program. In addition, only the Mac models are official support list will get the in-place upgrade to macOS Sequoia. So only a very tiny portion of Mac computers are eligible to run macOS Sequoia at the early stage.
However, if you want to be the lucky one, then please follow this guide to create a Sequoia bootable USB on any PC or Mac without any limitation. After that, you can install macOS Sequoia on a Mac or hackintosh PC.
Step 1: Download macOS Sequoia DMG file (a bootable disk image that contains macOS Sequoia install app) from Google Drive. This is a very big OS file (15GB) and it takes sometime to fully download it.
