hdiutil create -o / tmp / mojave -size 7900m -volname mojave -layout SPUD -fs HFS + J.We must do this by executing the following commands on a macOS end (we must change вЂњmojaveвЂќ and the directories for what corresponds to our team): In this way we will extract the necessary files and create the ISO image we are looking for. Once we have the installation app, we transfer it to the applications folder.

What interests us is the installer, which can be found in the programs folder. When the download is finished, it will start, but since we are not interested in installing it right now, we can close the wizard. To do this, the first thing we must do is download the installers of the version we want: If we have access to a macOS computer, we can generate our own ISO image, both of Mojave and Catalina, or the version we want to install. Even trying to download it from the Internet, although this will give more problems than solutions. But, if we want, we can do the same by generating our own ISO. But the process is the same, and we can download the VMDK from the following link. We do not recommend installing macOS 10.15 вЂњCatalinaвЂќ on Windows 10 due to problems with this version. From this page we can download a virtual hard disk VMDK with macOS already installed and ready so that, when it starts, it starts the initial configuration of the system. To save time and simplify the process a lot, we recommend you download the latest version of macOS 10.14 вЂњMojaveвЂќ from the following link. And this is a problem if we donвЂ™t have a Mac. The only way to make it work is to create it ourselves. Although many macOS ISO images circulate on the network, many are outdated, and others do not work. And to generate this ISO image we need to use macOS.

And in order to install macOS in VMware we need an ISO image. This is where one of the problems begins to be able to install macOS from Windows, a vicious circle that is repeated over and over again. Therefore, we will use the entire VMware process.

Installing mac with windows 10 Patch#

In order to install and run the Apple operating system in a virtual machine, we must patch both VMware and VirtualBox. And it is advisable to have an SSD so that the performance is excellent. In addition, of course, it is necessary to have at least 8 GB of RAM (recommended 16 GB), a high-end processor with several cores and threads (with AMD Ryzen we have not managed to operate this virtual machine, only with Intel). And in the newer ones we may not be able to apply the patch that we are going to see next. Older versions may cause problems installing macOS. The first thing we need is to have VMware Workstation 15.5 (or 15.5.1) installed on our computer. But we are going to do it on Windows 10 (specifically the latest version of the operating system), and using VMware Workstation Pro, since we have been able to verify that it is the one that best (and easiest) makes macOS work. This process can be performed on virtually any operating system, with any hardware and with any virtual machine hypervisor.
