I had this exact question. I just finished using this tutorial [this video] and it worked for me. For those who do not want to watch the video (although highly recommended). Download the ISO you want to use. Open the terminal (in /Applications/Utilities). cd /path/to/iso to drive in to folder or cd .. to go back the path. Convert .iso to .img using hdiutil: hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/target.img /path/to/source.iso Rename if OS X gave it a .dmg file extension: mv /path/to/target.img.dmg path/to/target.img Connect USB drive and type diskutil list to find the path.

When I attempt to boot the newly built computer from a USB flash drive in order to install windows 10, I get the error "Reboot and select proper boot device." I think that somehow my settings in the UEFI are not correct so that it is not attempting to boot from the USB flash drive as I'd like. Some details: Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 I created the bootable USB flash drive from an ISO file on a Mac, using the Terminal & this method [this video] This question is similar to mine, but doesn't seem to have a solution I can try, as I do not have a windows machine.
