Without Boot Camp | How to Play Valorant on Mac

Valorant is a free-to-play first-person shooter game developed and published by Riot Games. It's a clever tactical shooting game that becomes highly engaging once you get into it. However, Valorant is currently exclusive to the Windows operating system. Therefore, for Mac users who wish to play the game, they would need to utilize Apple's Boot Camp to install a Windows system first.

However, Boot Camp may not be the ideal option. Many Mac users purchased their computers with only 128GB or 256GB of disk space, while installing Boot Camp requires at least 64GB of free disk space. Consequently, numerous Mac users are curious if there's a way to play Valorant on their Mac without consuming excessive disk space. Fantastic news! The tool OS2Go can provide you with the solution you need!

OS2Go Tools Overview

OS2Go is a tool designed for users to create a portable Windows USB drive. It allows you to clone all system drive files and the disk layout of the system drive to an external storage device, enabling you to boot on another computer using this external storage medium.

As previously mentioned, one advantage of using OS2Go is that it can save disk space on your Mac. Additionally, it offers several other benefits.

• Your game progress stays synchronized on both a Windows PC and a Mac.
• No extra setup is needed. Everything is ready to use once you start your Mac from the bootable USB drive.
• Whether it's a USB flash drive or an external HDD/SSD, they can all be used to store a Windows operating system and games.

如何为Mac创建可移动Windows USB

To create a portable Windows USB drive for users to play Valorant, you'll need a Windows computer and ensure that Valorant is installed on the system drive. It's crucial to check the total used disk space on your system drive beforehand, as the USB drive you prepare should be larger than this occupied space. Next, download and install OS2Go on the Windows computer, and follow our guide to learn how to create a portable USB drive.

Step 1. Install OS2Go on your Windows computer, which will show the used space on your system drive. Insert a USB drive with a capacity larger than the used space on your system drive. Select the target USB drive and click Next to proceed.

Step 2. OS2Go will warn you that this action will erase all data from your drive. Make sure you've backed up all important data. Click Continue to proceed.

Step 3. Adjust disk layout. The default disk layout on the target drive will be identical to the source drive. You can also edit the layout to suit your requirements. Check the option provided if you're using a Solid State Drive as the Windows boot drive. Then, click Proceed.

Step 4. OS2Go will then begin creating the portable USB drive. This process may take some time, depending on your operating system and network conditions. Once the progress reaches 100%, the USB drive will be bootable.

Step 5. Insert the portable Windows USB and turn on your Mac. Press the Option/Alt key. Select the yellow EFI Boot icon to boot from the USB drive. Then, follow the on-screen instructions to boot your Mac.
