Well, personally I will answer this question with confident. YES, you can run Mac OS X Sierra on Virtualbox installed on Windows 10 for example. With few simple steps, you will be able to run Mac OS Sierra on Windows. On this tutorial, you will learn how to do this. Download Mac OS X Sierra disk image (VMDK) Now, you will need to download.
MacOS X on VirtualBox Friday, November 5th, 2010 I've been trying to get MacOS X working on VirtualBox for a while now, and it never worked due to some ACPI problems. The latest versions of VirtualBox have added MacOS X Server as a guest possibility, and it also seems to have fixed some problems with running the normal Mac OS X. I got this working on the following hardware/software. If your hardware/software differs, your mileage may vary:. CPU: Intel Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz. Videocard: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (Some Intel integrated piece of crap).
Ubuntu GNU/Linux v10.04. VirtualBox v3.2 (important) Here are the instructions:.
First, you'll need to get get MacOS X. I used a pre-made illegal VMWare image I got from.
(I'm sure Apple's legal team will be on my neck soon, but fuck it). Second, you need the latest VirtualBox. I'm using the Non-OSI v3.2.10.
You can get it from the. Now, add a new VirtualBox guest and select ' MacOS X' as the Operating System and either 'Mac OS X Server' or 'Mac OS X Server (64 bits)' as the version. I'm not quite sure it works on 32 bits host processors/operating systems, but it does work on 64 bits hosts. You need at least 1024 Mb of memory. Less will NOT work. For the Virtual Hard Disk add the Mac OS X vmdk image as a harddisk Okay, now you'll have to through the settings and match them to the following settings: The rest of the settings do not seem to matter, at least for getting MacOS X to boot succefully. To recap:.
Enable IO APIC must be ON. Enable absolute pointing device must be ON. You must enable only ONE SINGLE CPU. Mac OS X will not boot on VirtualBox with two or more CPUs. Enable PAE/NX must be ON.
Enable VT-x/AMD-v must be ON. This also means your hardware must support it. For Linux users, run the following command to check if your hardware has support for virtualisation enhancements: grep 'vm' /proc/cpuinfo. You should see one or more of these lines: flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constanttsc archperfmon pebs bts repgood aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor dscpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm xsave lahflm tprshadow vnmi flexpriority If it's not there, but you have a recent CPU, you may have to enable VT-x in your BIOS. Enable nested paging must be OFF.
Enable 3D acceleration must be ON. This also means your hardware AND host operating system has to have support for 3D acceleration. Linux users can use the ' glxgears' and ' glxinfo' commands to see if 3D acceleration is working correctly. Virtual Storage must use a SATA controller of the AHCI type, and must NOT use host I/O cache IMPORTANT: You MAY have to boot Mac OS X with the -v boot option. Directly after starting up the Virtual Machine, hit enter and at the boot: prompt, enter -v. I had to do this the first time to get Mac OS X successfully booted.
After the first successful boot, it doesn't seem necessary anymore. Safe-mode may also help in case of problems. The Mac OS X image I linked to at the top of this post has its language set to Russian., including screenshots.
Before we get started, make sure your system can support Virtualization technology (VT) and it is enabled from BIOS, so you can run Virtualization software like Virtualbox. You should also have a 64-bit Windows operating system with at least 2 GB Ram and 20 GB free storage but we recommend you 4 GB of RAM or higher and more storage so you can store more files and install more apps on macOS Mojave. Also, if you have an SSD it’s highly recommended that you install it on SSD inside of HDD because you will have much higher performance.

Thanks for being with us. Hello Faiz Orz & Mukhtar, dear readers, Thanks for this work, it took me a while but it’s a complete and working tuto, probably the best I’ve found & tried on the internet. To all readers, you have to follow carefully and strictly this tuto step by step, and don’t be shy when giving RAM to the VM. I’m using the machine on my laptop (light Asus) and gave it 8Gb out of 16Gb and it’s not perfectly fluid. I’ve had to plug additional mouse and keyboard to have controls.
Don’t expect it to work fully, many things haven’t been designed in purpose for example on my config the only thing not working (so far) is displaying Finder, which is blocking. Also my additional mouse & keyboard are only usable on the VM when the VM is running, but it’s part of the deal.
