Whether you want to develop your iOS app on Xcode, using apps like Final Cut Pro or iMovie which only comes on Mac OS, you need to buy an expensive Apple Macbook. So, without making a hole in your pocket, the alternate solution to this installing Mac OS on your Windows computer. Let's get started with this tutorial
Mac Os X Virtual Machine
- For the Name & operating system, write down the name of the virtual machine. In my case, I will write down 'macOS Catalina'. Select 'Mac OS X' for the Type and Mac OS X (64-bit) for the version. For Memory, I recommend you to go with the 50-50 rule which is to assign 50 to 60% of your computer's memory for the virtual machine.
- Go to the Apple Store of your current macOS and search for macOS 10.10 Mojave. Click on the ‘install' button and then ‘continue' to proceed. Alternatively, you can open the macOS Mojave Link and download it. The download will be saved on the Application folder. Once complete, follow the instructions to install it.
If you want to test out the Apple Operating System before buying an Apple Mac machine, you can install the Mac Operating System into a virtual machine that runs directly on your existing Windows hardware. Virtual machine applications allow your personal computer to act and run as if it is a Mac. To Run macOS on Windows 10 in a Virtual Machine with good audio quality, follow these steps:- Start the virtual box and right click on OS X in the left side bar. Go to the settings option and open the storage. Again click on the disk icon but this tome choose HackBoot 2 ISO file that you had.
