Mac Technique: Steps to Create a Bootable macOS Installer on a USB drive

This post shows how to create a bootable USB drive for macOS Sierra installation. The USB drive was created with a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion), which was installed on a clean SSD by holding down the option key during the first boot after swapping the Mac's hard drive with the SSD.

The steps to create the bootable macOS USB installer are as below:

The original OS X version is Mountain Lion 10.8.5.

Go to the Mac's App Store and get the latest macOS.

Quit the macOS installer.

The installer may be found in the Applications folder of Finder:
Application\Install macOS Sierra

Open the terminal and type this command:

sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyUSB/ --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/

For other paths for USB drive or  Sierra.app or for installing other OS X versions, refer to Apple's official document: Create a bootable installer for macOS.

Now the USB drive has been successfully formatted as a bootable macOS installer.

Mac Technique: How to install Windows Support Software without Boot Camp icon in Windows 10

Recently I upgraded the OS of a MacBook Pro to macOS Sierra 10.12.1 and then install Windows 10 with Boot Camp Assistant (Applications->Utilities->Boot Camp Assistant). Windows was easily installed, but not the Windows drivers for Mac.

The "Open Boot Camp Help" option in macOS's Boot Camp Assistant says that Boot Camp icon/Boot Camp Control Panel is required for the configuration of hardware in Windows:

Unfortunately, I couldn't to find the Boot Camp icon/Boot Camp Control Panel in Windows. Without proper drivers installed in Win 10, the Wi-Fi function did not work. This is a really big problem!!

After searching for the solution for a couple of days, I found this:

No option to download windows support software for Bootcamp Assistant

So I followed it to select Boot Camp Assistant->Action->Download Windows support software:

It takes a while for the download.

I store the Windows Support Software in a USB drive.

After booting in Windows, I simply select the Windows Support Software at USBDrive\WindowSupport\BootCamp\Setup and the drivers are then successfully installed. The Wi-Fi function then works normally.

The Apple Software Update also shows up automatically after installing the Windows drivers and rebooting Windows.
