System -> Motherboard -> Boot Order: deactivate Floppy.Virtual hard disk size: ~20 GB (an empty installation of macOS High Sierra takes about 11,4 GB).Version: Mac OS X (64-bit) or macOS 10.13 High Sierra (64-bit).Name: macOS (or whatever you want to call it).Open a Terminal window, create a "virtual USB flash drive"/disk image:.The version of the "Install macOS High Sierra.app" has to be 13.0.66 or above. Apple made some changes to the previous released version, especially to the installer, which are important to get this VM running. Hint: if you have downloaded macOS High Sierra before the 5th of October, delete it and redownload it.Download macOS High Sierra from the Mac App Store.You also need ~20 GB disk space for the virtual machine, as well as ~18 GB free space temporarily for the creation of the install media.Ĭreate a macOS install ISO file for VirtualBox You will need at least 4096 MB RAM of host memory, more is better. MacOS Sierra 10.12.6, VirtualBox 5.1.28 with installed VirtualBox Extension Pack It's always a struggle to get macOS as a guest system running on macOS as the host system, but today was my lucky day and after several failures I managed to get it running! So here is how I did it. So I have a MacBook Pro running macOS Sierra (10.12) and I wanted to run a virtual machine (VM) of macOS High Sierra to try out the new operating system. If you have the time to spare or you just have to see for yourself here is the link> Install and Run Mac 10.7.8Okt/17 0 VirtualBox: How to create a macOS High Sierra VM to run on a Mac host system Warning! Always scan images for Root-kits And because the image you are installing has been hacked by someone to make it work, updating Lion crashes the install so I recommend taking snapshots or clones so you can start over until you get things working.Īfter about 5 tries I was able to get VMware Workstation, Windows 8, and MAC Lion running pretty smooth, I also hacked (applekey “S” at boot) and reset the root since I didn’t know who created the image and I didn’t want someone from a strange place accessing my vMAC or vLion (vmware 8 mac). Unlike running Windows on a MAC using Parallels or Fusion, running Lion on a Windows 8 System is clunky and slow. I don’t own a MAC so I thought I would have some fun and see if all the “Buzz” is true about running MAC OS X on a Windows 8 System (lab system with pre-release) using VMware Workstation.Īfter a couple of hours of downloading and tweaking, re-downloading, and re-tweaking, I can tell you that it does work, kinda!īefore you get too excited let me qualify it by saying “ don’t get your hopes up too high” because it won’t replace your Windows.
