So know that this guide was written in mind more for existing Apple users who want to use this OS also on a Windows laptop or machine, and not as a “hackintosh” guide meant for Windows-only users.

It’s better to either find a trusted ISO or build it yourself (as described here,) and in this guide I will be assuming more so that people also have a working Mac, as this does not violate licenses. Be careful when downloading files online, and if the virtual machine is already made and has a user account included, you also have less idea on if any scripts are placed within startup items to compromise that machine. Some might be floating around out there on the internet, but there’s no knowing these weren’t tampered with unless you check the hash to an existing disk image ISO. The process for getting an ISO of the installer becomes a lot more difficult if you don’t own a Mac.

I myself own a Macbook Pro and air, and this guide could apply equally to someone getting Mac to run on Fusion machines. You are, however, allowed to virtualize it provided you have official Apple hardware.

Make changes to the VMWare configuration fileīy Apple’s EULA (end-user-license agreement,) you are forbidden from running Mac OS on non-Apple hardware.

Generate unique Mac OS device values to be used by the virtual machine.

Unlock the VMWare product using an unlocker to accept non-server Mac versions.

So here’s a quick rundown on what we have to do in order to make this successful. You will need to do Some command-line magic to remove the hypervisor such as mentioned in that article. This can be a time-intensive process, as just doing it through “manage optional features” won’t work. Please uninstall and make sure all components of the Hypervisor are removed before proceeding. In general, you may notice much slower performance or lag when running this with hypervisors that could conflict VT-D access. This is because using WSL2 enables a hypervisor, which takes over a lot of the processor access running Mac may require. It’s important to say that WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux v2) and virtualization programs just don’t work well together. I highly recommend VMWare for newer users, even if the hardware support is not so great. People do have their liking for virtual box, but this may be even less suitable for new users. You might be wondering why we’re going with a closed-source solution in which USB support on Mac is flaky. You know it’s coming, you read it here first. It might be the last and only time you get to do this before another era ends. So enjoy this guide and run it on your machine anyway. Not to mention that the chips are custom made anyway.

That’s a bit sad, but the truth as Arm performance through Intel is really slow and horrible. However, consider this as one of the last versions we will probably get to also virtualise on Intel machines.

Maybe not tomorrow, or even 2 years from now. As Apple moves over to their M-series chips, we must face the fact that Intel support will be dropped in an upcoming version. And yet with each version, the possibility of running it on X86 hardware dwindles. You can do things with Homebrew and other advanced Python things since it’s so closely in the OS. Braille displays work the moment you plug them in. A powerful kernel built on Uni gives it an edge for power users. Despite this, the framework which Mac OS well, Mac OS, has not changed. No doubt OS 11 screwing VoiceOver Notifications over is a big gripe for many in the accessibility community, and the way they sandbox or limit the OS has gotten increasingly locked down. Mac OS is a great operating system to some, the biggest headache to others.
