How to Run a Mac OS Virtual Machine on Windows 10

Are you looking for a way to experience the world of Mac OS without actually owning a Mac? With the rise of VirtualBox, this has become a very straightforward process. In this article, we'll walk you through how to set up a Mac OS virtual machine on your Windows 10 machine.

To start, I'd recommend using the default settings and adjusting them later if needed. Apple's unified memory and M1 chipset are so powerful that even with the default 4GB of RAM, Windows 10 ran smoothly on my Mac. The process is very easy to follow and requires minimal technical expertise.

VirtualBox is a general-purpose virtualizer available across Linux, Mac OS, and Windows platforms. It allows you to run different operating systems on your machine without having to reboot or install additional software.

To get started, you'll need to download and install VirtualBox from the official website. Once installed, follow these steps:

1. Launch VirtualBox and click on 'New' to create a new virtual machine.

2. Choose Mac OS as the guest operating system and select the version you want to use (in this case, Windows 10).

3. Allocate memory and CPU resources as needed. You can adjust these settings later if needed.

4. Create a virtual hard disk and choose the location where you want to store it.

Once you've created your virtual machine, you'll need to create a macOS ISO image file. This will serve as the installation media for your Mac OS virtual machine.

After that, follow the standard installation process for Mac OS on VirtualBox. You can find more detailed instructions online or through official Apple documentation.

One thing to note is that not all Windows 10 built-in apps work perfectly in the virtual machine. Many apps are designed specifically for ARM architecture and may not function correctly. However, you can still use many popular apps like Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, and Firefox without any issues.

In conclusion, running a Mac OS virtual machine on your Windows 10 machine is a great way to experience Ubuntu regardless of your current operating system. With VirtualBox, you can easily set up a Mac OS environment and enjoy the benefits of both worlds. So go ahead and give it a try!
