It is now possible and remarkably easy to use OS X on VMware following Apple’s live changing move geared towards improving its OS X software for desktop operating system. This tutorial provides a clear and systematic guideline to downloading and installing Mac OS X El Capitan on a Windows PC.
In these scenario I will be using VMware Workstation 12 Player on a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit machine. Installing, OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan.
Note:
Since the Mac users are super excited to use the new operating system of Apple MacOS 10.14 Mojave, Windows user are looking forward to testing that on the windows system. I installed macOS Mojave on windows in VMPlayer. But the resolution is always 1024 x 768. Oct 23, 2017 By default, VMware player cannot run a Mac OS X virtual machine on Windows. We need to patch the player to unlock this capability manually. For that end, we will use the unlocker that the splendid fellows at InsanelyMac have created.
- Check your BIOS to make sure Virtualization is enabled.
- Check the hardware requirements to make sure your Windows PC is strong and compatible enough to run Mac OS X system.
