Good day gents and ladees.I was checking out google searches and got alot of info out there and was wondering if anyone got it right to have a live macosx to boot from usb on windows.For example i want a dual boot windows 10 and catalina but i want to boot from usb wen i feel to load catalina on my system and use it as per normal...with all drivers working of course.

I dont want a portable structure,so the hardware will always be married to my pc.If this is at all possible show me how or direct me to the creative elements out there.Most people i chatted to say its not possible to some extent and illegal also.I beg to differ as anything is possible in the real world,i mean if musk could send pigs with electrodes on there brains to space stations ..lol surely there is a way to do this.
Please remember this usb will only be for this pc and not a portable type of thing.
I have seen hackintosh stuff and some guy in india dualbooting for iphone repairs etc but these methods seems a bit long.I want a simple solution where i just do clicks with a mouse,have the iso and software..mash it all up and there out spits a fresh usb.
 
I did it once on a Dell laptop. I prepared a USB to install macOS (this was a few years ago it must be noted) and got all the necessary hackintosh kexts for that hardware profile. I then selected an external USB as my install destination. Then, when I started up the machine, if the USB was plugged in, it started in Mac OS and if not it went to windoze.
 
Would the procedure not be the same as for installing it to any external drive and then using the option key at power on to select the boot partition?
 
Im not sure why you would want to run osx in the first place, its a steaming pile of poop.
Im still very tempted to install linux on my MBP.

Really? What don't you like about it? I haven't moved past Mojave myself and generally prefer high seirra, although I still have one of my machines running Yosemite.Sorry, a bit OT...

Sounds like he might want to install it from within windows, so VM?

OK i have vmware installed with catalina and it works great but i am having usb issues and it its not fun doing host disconnects and redirection of usb connections,also i dont want to share my resources as catalina is running a lag sometimes.I want instantaneous usb connections with no hiccups,I use windows 10 as my host and run 4 operating systems. My drive is already busy with important stuff and i feel i dont want to split it and dedicate the other partition to catalina.
This is why i want a dual boot from flash drive to boot into mac.So you guys say its possible to pop in the usb flash drive and boot mac from flash and use it as per normal.
bwana does this clarify your interest.
what software can i use that is clicks away from a perfect boot.

One important question: Are you on Apple hardware? If so, then it is as easy as installing to the USB and holding down option. If not, you need to do the Hackintosh route described above.
 
Hi ,no i am not on apple hardware, i was under the impression that....... that never mattered when you have a 64bit processor.LIke i said everything is running smooth to some extent on vmware except for the usb redirects.The only bottleneck i am having is my processor is a embarrassing i3 its a laptop .
I ve seen last night a youtube video where this was possible but issues with drivers for display had to be circumvented and the guy had to create the usb on macbook.There is just so many tutorial out there,I need one sure way
thanks guys
