    How to install macOS in VirtualBox on Windows 11?


    With this article, you can learn how to install macOS in VirtualBox on Windows 11. It's true that more people want to know how to get Windows on a Mac, but the tables can be turned in some cases.

    There are several reasons why someone may need to use macOS in VirtualBox on Windows 11. One reason could be for development purposes, where a developer needs to test their application on a macOS environment but does not have access to a physical Mac computer. Another reason could be for educational purposes, where a student needs to learn how to use macOS for a class or certification program but does not own a Mac computer. Additionally, some people may prefer certain macOS applications or workflows but prefer to use Windows as their primary operating system. In these cases, running macOS in VirtualBox on Windows 11 allows users to have the best of both worlds by accessing macOS while still using Windows as their primary OS.

    Here are the steps to install macOS in VirtualBox on Windows 11:

    1. First, you need to download VirtualBox and macOS ISO files. Make sure you have a compatible version of VirtualBox with your Windows 11 operating system and a macOS ISO file for the version of macOS you want to install.
    2. Open VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine. Give it a name, choose the type as macOS, and set the version to the appropriate macOS version you have downloaded.
    3. Allocate the appropriate amount of RAM and hard disk space for the virtual machine. Ensure you have enough space on your hard drive to accommodate both the VirtualBox program and the macOS virtual machine.
    4. Next, in the settings for the virtual machine, go to the Storage section and select the macOS ISO file you downloaded in step 1. This will allow you to boot from the macOS installer when you start the virtual machine.
    5. Finally, start the virtual machine and follow the prompts to install macOS. Make sure to format the virtual hard drive and select the appropriate options during the installation process.

    • Download VirtualBox by clicking on the provided link and install it on your device.
    • Download VirtualBox Extension Pack by clicking this link, and once it's downloaded, click on it to begin the installation process. Follow the on-screen prompts and agree to the terms and conditions.

    • In Oracle VM VirtualBox, name the virtual machine "MacOS Big Sur."

    cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\" VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "MacOS Big Sur" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS Big Sur" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac11,3" VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS Big Sur" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0" VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS Big Sur" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Iloveapple" VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS Big Sur" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" VBoxManage setextradata "MacOS Big Sur" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1

      Once the installation is complete, a page will appear asking you to select your country or region. Select the required ones and click on "Continue."
    • Choose "Continue" on the written and spoken languages tab.
