I have a late 2010 MacBook Pro that is currently running windows 10 but with some missing drivers. I want to put OSX 10.13.6 on the ssd. I need to make it bootable after downloading the dmg. My other Mac is an M2 and I don't think it will work to make the files bootable since the OS is too new and it's an Apple processor not intel. Ideas? I don't have the original install dvds for the MacBook Pro. The ones I do have don't work.
