Now you should have a new, primed MacOS machine. But you will need to run some commands now. This can be hit-and-miss , and may require some Google-fu. And wait. If your installation stops, try googling the last output message to see if there is a community fix, or post below… Otherwise, this is generally a slow process.
If all has gone well, you should be greeted by the MacOS installer language selection. This is the VDI you created during the setup process, and not your actual hard drive. Once the disk formatting has completed, close it down. You should now be able to start the installation! Once this is complete and you filled all the required details in, congratulations!
Files can be shared using typical Windows share features. If you share a folder on your network from your host machine, your Mac VM should be able to connect to it. This required a lot of Googling , and these are the people who saved me at the end of the process!
This is a difficult one, and will require investigation. I checked the logs as the error message said, and discovered:. Obviously, check if this is enabled. Strangely, on my machine it was enabled. Supposedly Virtualbox and Hyper-V can run side-by-side, so at this point I decided to remove Hyper-V , to see if that would improve. For this to work, you must turn off Windows Subsystem for Linux! Unfortunately, it would seem for me at least you need to trade it off for macOS in Virtualbox.
You can run MacOS in Virtualbox. For memory, we recommend you use at least MB, though you can opt for more if you have enough RAM to spare on your Windows machine. Choose VDI for hard disk type and click Next.
Click Next. You need to run a number commands, in order. Paste the following commands, pressing Enter after each one and waiting for it to complete:. Go ahead and close the Command Prompt. You should only worry if a specific error hangs for five minutes or more. Just walk away and let it run for a bit.
You should now see your empty virtual drive in the sidebar. The installation will begin! This might take a while, so be patient.
Eventually your virtual machine will restart and take you…back to the installer. At this point the installer has copied files onto the virtual hard drive, and expects to boot from there. Turn off your virtual machine and open its settings. Click the virtual machine and allow it to capture you mouse and keyboard, then type fs1: and hit Enter. This will switch directories to FS1, where the rest of the installer is located. Copy it to your Windows machine using a large flash drive, an external hard drive, or over your local network.

The installer will pick up where it left off. Eventually the virtual machine will reboot again, this time into macOS High Sierra. But a lot of the basic stuff should work. Have fun! If you try to change the resolution from within macOS, however, you will see no option to do so. Instead, you need to enter a few commands.
You need to run the following two commands:. In the second command, you need to replace the N with a number from one to five, depending on what resolution you want:. Start up VirtualBox, load up your virtual machine, and it should boot to your preferred resolution! From now on, you can open VirtualBox for any Mac-related testing you want to do. One more thing: a huge shout-out to Chad S. Samuels, without whom I could not have updated this guide for High Sierra. Thank you so much!
