That would make you a masochist to boot.Which is the best Mac emulator for Windows? How to install a macOS virtual machine on PC? In this post, MiniTool Partition Wizard gives you a step-by-step guide on how to install a macOS virtual machine on PC via VMware. Unless, of course, you are a wizard with code and know how to add the missing code. You can't hack a system if the means is not there.

What I don't understand is why VMWare has the software onboard to allow an Mac OS to be loaded. I had no idea why they did not allow Apple to run on VM Player so thanks for the explanation. I appreciate VM Player and have no interest in hacking it. They have removed the CD-ROM device so you are forced to buy from the Apple store. Win 7 is a superior system with regard to user-friendliness.Microsoft missed the boat by trying to force people away from the mouse and keyboard and in the direction of touch screens.Did not work. I am doing that because I don't like W10 either. My friend has a similar vintage Mac, which cost 3 times as much, and Apple cut her off from updates to recent Mac OS's. I am running Win 10 (free version) on an old laptop, vintage 2008. I've had many complaints about Microsoft over the years but at least they have a good legacy policy. I don't like Apple anyway, not the OS, which I know nothing about, but the company. I have looked for script files with an nsh extension but I see none in the ISO, or even in the dmg as viewed by 7zip.Īnyone familiar with this stuff and how I can explore it in depth rather than use stock vmdk images? That's a neat trick in itself but I am still perplexed as to which files it is mapping to get the OS install going. I understand thus far that EFI does not require a boot loader and that it can map the macOS in an ISO file directly into memory. I am just being introduced to EFI bios and it seems in many ways close to that of DOS, and maybe Unix. Thus far, I have been unable to get VM Player to recognize the OS created by a conversion from mac dmg filer converted to an ISO file. I have a fairly in-depth knowledge of DOS/Windows under the hood and I am hoping to have a fairly in-depth discussion about how VMPlayer 14 and 15 boots a macOS system. I am trying to help a friend who has a mac by loading it on my VMPlayer, which I normally use for Windows apps.

Hi.perhaps I am straying from the intent of this board by using a VMPlayer modified to allow a macOS install.
