[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1842345, member: 38864"] I’m not familiar with TransMac but I did some quick reading and it looks like it can do the job. I’ll post some links and instructions, but I gotta address a pet peeve first. “Mac” is short for “Macintosh”. “MAC” is an acronym for “Media Access Control”. There is no such thing as a “MACintosh”. Here’s an article that details how to use TransMac to make a bootable Mac OS installer in Windows. Try going by that guide, but rather than using the download link they provide for the Mac OS installer, try the one I link to that is direct from Apple. *retracted* [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206886"]How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support[/URL] EDIT: on looking at this further now that I'm home, I don't think that the official Apple installer will work with TransMac. It looks like that tutorial is linking to a download of a copy someone made into an ISO. I'm retracting the link since I think it's a little fishy, and probably contrary to the forum rules anyway.
