install Mac OS from it on your PC, you can create bootable USB Installer with UniBeast, but
still, you need a Macintosh to download and create macOS Sierra bootable USB Installer. So
here we’re to show you how to create bootable USB Installer for macOS Sierra on windows
10, and you don’t need any MacBook or an Apple computer.
Create macOS Sierra Bootable USB Installer
on Windows 10
To create a Bootable USB Installer, you need to download macOS Sierra image file from the
link below and other data that mentioned in the download section with an 8 or higher USB
flash drive. The download process is a little bit complicated if you are not known to mega
because you have to download it from there, also the credit goes to a Brazilian
Hackintosh group.

Zip, Winrar or any other extractor.

from its folder, you will find some system graphics Config.plist file. Find & Copy the
Config.plist that matches your Intell, AMD or NVIDIA system graphics.
 Find & Copy your System Config.plist
Note: Remember that if you didn’t find the exact config.plist file for your system, use one
that approaches to your system. Like if your system graphics is Intel 4210 then choose
above or below that because it mostly works, though many might fix your system and
compatible with Hackintosh. Also, you might find your prepared config.plist file just by a
quick googling.

Step #12. Now go to your USB flash drive EFI > Clover then paste and replace the
config.plist file that you copied from “Pacote de Config” folder with default plist file.
