Windows Virtual Machine (Loading MAC OS) Help?

[Cookie]

Good Day Sirs,

I am in the process of organising a work form home situationship.

I need MAC OS on my PC at home.

Currently using macOS High Sierra at work and need the same setup on the virtual machine at home.
PC at work (mac mini late 2014) Ewww I know


I have tried with VirtualBox because I am familiar with their software but when I try go the MAC route it spits out an error before the VM starts. Tried googling the error but it seems there is no resources online for this error.
Tried a few different techniques like this one ----> LINK


Does anyone know a solid way of doing this on VirtualBox or know of any other VM software that it could work with??

Try VMware Player, worst scenario you waste a bit of time...
Was working fine a few years back, did it for fun (was still Snow Leopard at the time).

Only vm software I have had success with when trying to run MacOS before is VMWare. VirtualBox just says no as you have found.

VMware seems to be the way to go. Can confirm Hyper-V wont let you do this

Do you guys think it would be better to rather boot straight into macOS than use a VirtualMachine in windows?

Obviously virtual machines share resources, but even with sharing it shouldn't be a problem to run. Just wondering if the VM is sometimes buggy

As far as having a buggy vm goes, never happened to me, even when running a older snow leopard on a intel p4 e5200 with 4gb ram while sharing resources with windows.
If you get it set up properly there should be no reason for it to not work as a normal standalone pc.

I’ve had an OSX VMware for a while now as I can’t install OSX onto my laptop due to Nvidia.

You’ll need the OSX fixer and pass through for your hardware to make the virtual machine run better.

Emulation, paravirtualization, and pass-through: what you need to know for client hypervisors

Without hardware passthrough and running software emulation, you’ll get very sluggish performance. Any AMD card will suffice.

I’ve found the best way to do it is use the images provided by others already.

Easy enough to Google.

This is very hardware dependent but have you considered a hackintosh?

They have become very stable, I dual boot my home machine, windows for games and MacOs for work. It runs like a beast.

VMware all the way but you will need to use the guides and files online as you have to hack it. VMware doesn’t support Mac standard but is possible.
Installing Mac in a pc these days is a mission and is a hit and miss with drives especially gpu

I really thought it would be a lot easier haha.
I'm not going to be moving forward with this yet as I hear there is a good possibility that the company I'm working for is closing its doors soon. We should hear next week.

VirtualBox all the way.
