I tried.16 posts I just acquired a macbook that is running 10.4.11 and which has a optical drive that no longer. The WinToUSB takes such longer because of how it extracts files into their directories (instead of just doing a file copy), but it has made getting Windows installed on crappy WinPCs a cake walk. i tried it on my neighbors pc both usb cables plugged into the powered usb hub and the computer immediately recognized the device. MS offers an option for the former, but usually it comes back saying it couldn't make the drive bootable. The first one is great for taking, say, a Win ISO and making it into a football flash drive, and the latter will allow you to take a Win ISO and make it into a pre-installed OS-not just an installer-that you can then put into into another machine.
Pretty clever.PS: Segue, for those that are looking that are looking for slick ways to get Win ISO and installations without having to burn bootable DVDs, Ive had a lot of success with the following apps: I was surprised to see this is possible over a LAN with a WinPC. I almost didn't click on this article because 1) this hasn't been an issue for me in a very long time, and 2) I thought it was a well-worn topic built into macOS since around the MacBook Air launch.
