It had been an interest of mine recently to run Mac OS Ten on my powerhouse PC at home, but I wanted information technology to run equally virtual machine. I raked over some sites that stated it was non possible, I found that rather funny I mean how is it not possible doesn't Mac run on Intel hardware nowadays anyhow? So I stumbled on this video.

It does a good job at showing the basic steps, however it doesn't explicate much along the way, I figured it would be expert to break this downward and explain information technology.

Download this file (approx. 6 GB), inside this file is a file calledYosemite 10.x Retail VMware.rar, this needs to exist extracted to a location of your choice, preferably onto a SSD. This rar file contains VMware prepped OS X files (vmx, vmdk) for apply with VMware products.

This needs to exist fix to Mac OS X ten.7. This option is not available by default, the OS X Unlocker we ran before has exposed this pick. If for some reason you don't see this option, look at re-running the OS X Unlocker steps, it needs to be Run equally Administrator.
Now power on the Virtual Motorcar using Power on this virtual motorcar or by right clicking and going to Power > Start Upwards Invitee.
