Hyper V Install Mac Os

MacOS, the operating system previously known as Mac OS X, is beautiful, stable, and typically attached to a $1000+ MacBook / iMac. If we want to run macOS on a Windows PC, without the very particular hardware required for Hackintosh, a Mac OS X virtual machine is the next best thing.

It's surely compatible to install Mac OS X operating system on top of the Intel PC. Restart the operating system and VMware will install flawlessly. When you need the Hyper-V layer on, just do the opposite and set. Jun 18, 2009  VirtualBox has experimental support for Mac hardware emulation. –Koohiisan The Mac OS license does not allow for the installation of Mac OS on non-apple hardware. There have been a few instances of modders claiming they have been able to load Mac OS on a PC, but the work around methods are quite involved and not worth the effort. Disable the Hyper-V layer (Hyper-V service) by running the following command at the elevated command prompt: sc config hvboot start= disabled Restart the operating system and VMware will install flawlessly. When you need the Hyper-V layer on, just do the opposite and set the service to start and boot time: sc config hvboot start= boot.

Microsoft Hyper-V must be off for Windows 10 to start up on a Mac using Boot Camp. If you try to boot into Windows 10 with Hyper-V turned on, you see only a black screen and Windows doesn't start.

Take care if you install Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, because this software automatically enables Hyper-V. To turn Hyper-V off after it's been enabled, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Control Panel in Windows.
  2. Go to the 'Turn Windows features on or off' section.
  3. Turn off Hyper-V.

If you enable Hyper-V and then shut down Windows 10

If Hyper-V is turned on and you shut down Windows, you'll have to attempt a recovery using a USB recovery drive or the media you used to install Windows 10. Learn more about recovery options in Windows 10 on the Microsoft support site.

If you can't successfully restore your Windows 10 installation to a state before Hyper-V was enabled, you can reinstall Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

Install Mac Os Sierra Hyper V

so, before anybody loses their shit about legality, or directs me towards VMware + Unlocker/VirtualBox + Clover, let me explain that i'm trying something that I don't think anyone has attempted (at least that I've found). I need Hyper-V for my job, and installing workstation side-by-side is a no go. I am WELL aware that you can EASILY run a pure, unmodified macOS VM on Workstation without issue.

As for legality, that isn't even a gray area. It's perfectly legal, and even supported by Apple's own licensure. I am running Windows 10 on a Mac Mini (which is both LEGAL and SUPPORTED via BootCamp, although I went the pure UEFI install method) with Hyper-V enabled, and Apple does allow for virtualization of macOS server 10.5 and 10.6, and client installs of 10.7 and above on Apple branded hardware. Hence the reason why the hooks for macOS guests even exist on vmware products other than vmware fusion. The most common method of virtualizing macOS outside of Fusion on macOS being ESXi though.

Now that that is out of the way, let's get down to the technical aspects of this. Although not illegal, macOS of Hyper-V is certainly not supported by either Apple or Microsoft, so the low level hooks built in to vmware simply don't exist on Hyper-V. But then again, they don't exist on Virtual Box either. So I'm wondering if following the same basic procedure for setting up a macOS VM on Virtual Box on Windows on a PC would work to set up a macOS VM on Hyper-V on Windows.

Your thoughts?
