Excellent summary for this boot task, thanks for putting this together, very clear
Thank you so much for the perfect easy instructions that worked like a charm and first time using terminal! I’ve used DiskMaker X to create bootable disk drives starting with El Capitan, I believe and support has ended with Catalina. ):
Very easy to follow. I agree with the comments below. I did this on a Mac Book Air about 4 years old. Like he says be patient it took over an hour to do this.
Thanks so much! Definitely the easiest and clearest explanation on YouTube!
Simple tutorial, particularly the use of the direct resources and achieving the goal alone with on-board resources of macOS itself I find exceptionally good, many German tutorials fall back on third-party providers, which ultimately breaks the chain of trust. So: Thank you for this video! Incredibly helpful!
can’t download monetary from apple store on m1, says get but then installation fails, any ideas ?
@Mike Hunt happened to me as well. I went to the AppStore downloaded it and at the and it said it was unable to open it or something. I think the problem is that my Mac runs OS Ventura (I need Monterey for another Mac). So I tried my luck and opened applications and look at that ‘install macOS Monterey’ is there.
Maybe it’s the same for you.
Good luck!
@Lucas W I am now using an external drive- user to have more space, you simply create an admin account, within this account you never trash in your internal drive you make a second user, then drag that folder to the ext SSD, go to your prefs users etc, redirect the new ext SS folder using the right click advance (Monterey r Ventura) trash the internal SSD copy…then log in.
from time to time I had accidents, such as kids disconnecting my etc ssd, you then see errors like your home folder is corrupt, you simply return to the internal admin folder, prefs, advance area to re direct to the ext SSD home folder and all works.
the only things that don’t work are legacy extensions, sneaky apps only booting from int drive such as AVID pro tools plugins, WAVES,, but nothing and I mean nothing else showed issues,
Perfect tutorial! very easy to follow, perfect speed, very clear sound and very good video quality. Very appreciate for making this video
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You helped save a trip to the Store for my cousin. Her M1 Mac Mini was having issues, thankfully I was able to get a bootable disc made for her and it got her back up and running.
Excellent tutorial. Clear, concise and well articulated and presented. Thank you very much.
As many others have said, super easy tutorial with easy to follow steps. This will be my go-to when recommending these instructions to others!
A clear tutorial without unnecessary information, thanks!
Very clear and straight to the point. Thank you

This is by far, the best tutorial for doing this. The speech is clear and concise, knowledgeable and the video is easily referred to when confirming that you are doing it right. Thank you!
this is a lifesaver mate! was getting rough time finding the correct path names through terminal 🙂
Great video! I am new to the Mac world, I was trying to figure out how to copy the path to the installer ect… I had no idea you could just drag into the terminal! Thank you for making this video 🙂
