How to Run macOS on PC using Virtual Machine

Are you curious about running macOS on your Windows PC? With the help of a virtual machine, it's now possible to do so without having to purchase a Mac or install dual-boot configurations. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of setting up VirtualBox and installing an OVA file that allows you to run macOS on your PC.

Step 1: Install VirtualBox

To get started, download and install VirtualBox from the official website. Once installed, navigate to the toolbar at the top of the screen and select 'Reboot Now' to restart your system. Click 'Next>' and follow through with the installation process.

Step 2: Set Up Guest Additions

Double-click on the CD Drive (D:) VirtualBox Guest Additions icon to open it. Then, click 'Insert Guest Additions CD Image' from the file explorer at the bottom of the screen. This will allow you to install virtual machine tools and extensions.

Step 3: Install OVA File

Next, we need to install an OVA file that allows us to run Windows 10 with VirtualBox. To do this, locate the 'Windows10-2004.ova' file and double-click on it to open it. Click the three dots next to the file name and select 'Download'.

Step 4: Install Extension Pack

Once you have the OVA file installed, navigate to the toolbar at the top of the screen and select 'Device'. Then, click on 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' and follow the installation process.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any errors during the installation process, don't worry! You can troubleshoot by following these steps:

* If you see an error message saying 'System software from developer 'Oracle America, Inc.' was blocked from loading', click on the lock icon in the bottom left of the window and then allow the extension pack to install.

* If you get an error that says 'Installation Failed', proceed with the installation by clicking through to Agree. Then, open a drive window and click on 'VirtualBox.pkg'.

With these simple steps, you can now run macOS on your Windows PC using VirtualBox. Remember to download the OVA file and extension pack for successful installation. If you encounter any issues during the process, don't hesitate to reach out for troubleshooting tips.
