In addition to being able to configure the hardware that we want to dedicate to virtualization (for example, RAM, CPU, disk, etc.), we will also find a series of functions, options and advanced tools that will allow us, for example, to apply additional measures security and isolation of the VM, useful for companies. VBoxManage setextradata “MacOSX Catalina” “VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion” “1.Among its main features we can highlight a large number of customization and configuration options for the machine that will allow us to have absolute control over the virtual machine. VBoxManage setextradata “MacOSX Catalina” “VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct” “iMac11,3” These are all my notes for anyone else who wants to try: 1) REFERENCES: 1) HOW-TO:ġa) Install MacOS X 10.15.2 Catalina on Windows PC:ġb) Install MacOS X 10.15.2 Catalina on VMware:ġc) Install MacOS X Unlockr 3.0.2 for VMware 10-15 on Windows 7-10:Ģa) Download MacOS X 10.15.2 Catalina ISO for VMware and Virtualbox: Ģb) Download latest MacOS X Catalina images:Ģc) Download latest VMware Unlockr (maintained by Paolo after Donk stopped): I’m glad I did it so that I understand what’s possible with Mac OS X as a virtual machine, but it’s way too underperforming compared to any other OS as a virtual machine. MacOS 9, Fedora, Ubuntu ran circles around Catalina with lesser specs. It’s slow, VERY slow, despite running on the latest i7-8* processors with a GTX 1060 to do graphics acceleration, it’s painfully slow compared to ANY other virtual machine running.

It works… after too many hours, I had success with a 4-processor, 8GB (memory), 100GB (storage) virtual machine running under either Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation 15.5.1 Notes on installing macOS X 10.5.2 Catalina on VMware and VirtualBox THOUGHTS:
