DiskMaker X overview

DiskMaker X (was Lion DiskMaker) helps you to build a bootable drive from the official OS X installer app (the one you download from the Mac App Store). It detects the OS X Install program with Spotlight then proposes to build a bootable install disk and make it look as nice as possible. It’s the easiest way to build an OS X Installer in a few clicks! Then you can use the Install drive to fully re-install the OS on a freshly formated drive, or install it on your many Macs without re-downloading the full installer.

  • Compatible with macOS Catalina Install app

Is it posible with DiskMaker to create a bootable drive to install Mac Os High Sierra 10.13.6 in a iMac 2020? Could I have that downgrade?

Does exactly what I need. I had a MacBook Pro with a corrupted startup and needed to reinstall the El Capitan OS. I found the installer app and the correct version of DiskMaker X, created a startup USB from my High Sierra iMac, and successfully reinstalled El Capitan on the MacBook Pro for it to now startup and function again.
