Untested, but it seem that you will need to apply a patch to the VMX file as well, telling it that you're running on a Mac.ĥ. I usually customize the setting for my VM's, and in this case:ĪMD CPU's are NOT supported by macOS, and during initial boot you'll get a message The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Open VMWare Workstation Player, and create a new virtual machine - you can select macOS now, and select the macOS ISO file.Ī few things you should pay attention to: Download and run Auto-Unlocker which add “macOS” as an option when creating a new Virtual machines.Ĥ. I used the method described here - since downloading ISO files from others can be questionable.ģ.

Install VMWare WorkStation Player (I used v17) - it's free for non-commercial use.Ģ. This worked for me, even with an AMD CPU:ġ. Since I have a nice gaming laptop at my disposal (Asus ROG G713, AMD 6900HZ CPU and Nvidia 3080 GPU), I just wanted to give it a try to install a macOS VM on my Windows computer. However when needing a virtual machine to test an older macOS, I find a macOS Virtual Machine to run really slow on a Mac.

The AMD kernel is only built for 10.15.0 and you will break your virtual machine if you update it.I occasionally need to test a few things for macOS, for which I usually use one of my Mac's. ICloud, iMessage, FaceTime & Siri will not work at all.ĭo not update you virtual machine. You will need to do some tweaking to the virtual machine, which you can find in the "Post Installation Tweaks" page. The Mac App Store does work, but it will not work straightaway. That means that apps like Final Cut Pro will not work at all on this. Things like the Launchpad will be extremely laggy, the Dock will be opaque and the virtual machine will not have multiple monitor support. You can use CPU-Z to check these if you're not sure.ĭue to VMware's graphics acceleration not being compatible with macOS, you will not have any graphics acceleration in your virtual machine. If you have an older CPU, again you should double check. Your CPU also needs to support the SSE4.1 instruction set in order to run macOS Sierra and newer. Modern CPUs will definitely support this, but if you have an older CPU, you may want to double check. Make sure that Virtualization/AMD-V is supported by your CPU and is enabled in your BIOS.

Modern CPUs = Anything made from 2010 and onwards I see that you want to make a macOS VM in VMware on your AMD CPU but have no idea how or you need a macOS virtual machine.
