Even with a virtualization-capable CPU, if the function is not enabled, it won't do much good.
The quickest way is to run the freeware Securable app.Īnother important thing is to have virtualization activated on the BIOS/UEFI. This is not a problem for most modern CPUs, but it doesn't hurt to check. Of course, it's a given that our CPU must support IOMMU virtualization: VT-x for Intel and AMD-V for AMD. The Mac OS X virtual machine might work on a two-core CPU, but the experience will probably be less than smooth. We should have a processor with at least four cores, 3rd gen Core i5 or equivalent.
The speed of RAM is not of much consequence we are just looking for lots of it.Ī multi-core CPU is also important. To begin with, we must have at least 4GB of RAM, ideally 8GB or more. Nested Virtualization - How Deep can we Go? With a powerful enough system, we can even run virtual machines one inside the other, like Russian nesting dolls. After all, the hardware needs to run two operating systems simultaneously. It goes without saying that running any kind virtual machine demands a relatively powerful PC for a smooth experience. Hardware requirements for a Mac OS X virtual machine In this guide, we will cover the creation of the virtual machine both with VMware Player and VirtualBox, for Intel and AMD processors. Supports versions: Workstation 11/12/14/15 on Windows and Linux Workstation Player 7/12/14/15 on Windows and Linux.Hence, we will have to run through a couple of hoops to get the VM up and running. Verision 3 of the macOS Unlocker for VMware Workstation and Player. There is an unlocker promising to kill that detection: InsanelyMac Forum macOS Unlocker V3.0 for VMware Workstation So VMware has a “simple” switch in its products that detects whether or not it is running on Apple hardware enabling or disabling the option to boot VMs with macOS. If I got this right Apple “officially” supports VMware virtualization, however the host has to be on physical Apple hardware. I hope I’m right posting this in this sub-forum, I chose it since I hoped the users here have more experience in reviewing code.įor some work/licences I prefer to use macOS however I strongly dislike the current Apple hardware trend (less serviceable/if for some reason the system doesn’t boot you cannot access your internal storage).Īs a Normie-Pleb I enjoy using easy-to-use GUI-VM solutions like VMware Worstation/Fusion and am trying to get into the free Version of ESXi 6.7.
