It’s not impossible, however. Some of the folks at the have figured out a process that works. The only thing not working is sound, which for some reason is highly distorted or nonexistent. Other than that, though, this is macOS High Sierra, running smoothly in VirtualBox. To make things a little easier for people, we’ve combined methods from a few different forum threads into a single, step-by-step tutorial, complete with screenshots.
Let’s dive in. RELATED: NOTE: In order to get this working, you will need access to a real Mac in order to download High Sierra. You could, we suppose, obtain a High Sierra ISO by other means, but we don’t recommend it. Borrow a friend’s Mac for an hour if you don’t have one, and you should be fine—everything beyond step one of this tutorial can be done on your Windows PC. If you’re on a Mac and want a macOS virtual machine for use on that Mac, we recommend checking out out instead, because it and is a lot easier to work with. Ready to get started? Let’s jump in!
VirtualBox is a powerful hypervisor software which allows emulating different OS in Mac OS X environment. With its help, running earlier and later Windows versions, as well as Internet Explorer on a Mac, is no big deal.
Step One: Create a macOS High Sierra ISO File To start, we’ll need to create an ISO file of macOS High Sierra’s installer, so we can load it in VirtualBox on our Windows machine. Grab your borrowed Mac, head to the Mac App Store, search for Sierra, and click “Download.” When the process is done, the installer will launch—that’s okay, just close it with Command+Q. We don’t want to upgrade your friend’s Mac; we just need the downloaded files. To convert those files to an ISO, we’ll need to use the Terminal, which you can find in Applications Utilities.
We offer open-source (Linux/Unix) virtual machines (VDIs) for VirtualBox, we install and make them ready-to-use VirtualBox images for you. From here you can download and attach the VDI image to your VirtualBox and use it.
We offer images for both architectures 32bit and 64bit, you can download for free for both architectures. At the moment we have plans to offer you 30+ Linux/Unix distributions, we may add more to our list in near future, you can also send us suggestions if we are missing any popular distribution from our list. You can check for Credentials( Username & Password) for VDI images. Here you can follow the how to attach/configure VDI image with VirtualBox. We do not install ‘Guest Additions’ in the OS or add any kind of stuff, read our.
VirtualBox is the most easiest way to run secondary OS on your primary operating system, If your hardware doesn’t allow you to install any other operating system then VirtualBox comes in hand. It is a free and powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product available for most of the operating systems such as Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and ported version for FreeBSD. Read about VirtualBox. You can follow our for new images we release for VirtualBox.
