Mac iso for wmware pro#
Using VMware Fusion Professional Version 11.5.3 on a MacBook Pro running macOS High Sierra, I did the following to create a new macOS High Sierra virtual machine: also dead simple to do.Īll that aside, I need to get this ( virtualization of macOS High Sierra) done for a number of reasons. And I've used VMware quite a bit in a Mac environment, but recently that's been limited to virtualization of Linux OS. My experience with cloning machines in VMware was 3-4 years ago in a MS Windows environment - it was dead simple - literally a one-or-two-mouse-click operation. I'm probably a little frustrated at this point. I'm afraid I am just not smart enough to use CCC. That has been particularly confusing - partly because it seems to have wrecked the network drive location where Time Machine keeps backups for my MacBook running Catalina. when I visited the site, I got a little more nervous :) Has anyone used VM files from this source - are they OK? Before they sent me the link, the VMware tech support person asked me to recite a disclaimer during our phone conversation. VMware tech support advised of availability of a suitable file at this location (hackintosh?). Will this utility create a (dmg) file that VMware Fusion can open and run a macOS High Sierra VM? I have not tried this utility, but am willing to try it - however I would much prefer to hear from someone who has used it successfully before I do. This Q&A has a link to a utility named create_macos_vm_install_dmg which claims to " prepare macOS installer disk images for use with. Has anyone else used this file to create a High Sierra VM under VMware Fusion? It was not clear where this was going to be installed, so I abandoned it. However, when opening that file in VMware Fusion, instead of High Sierra, I get what appears to be an installation procedure. I d/l a file named macOSUpdCombo10.13.6.dmg from an Apple support site (don't recall the URL). Consequently, that option seems to be unavailable?
Mac iso for wmware upgrade#
dmg file of the HD in my High Sierra Mac using CCCįor reasons I don't understand, my physical MacBook running High Sierra does not have a Recovery partition - perhaps it was not picked up during a previous upgrade to the HDD/SSD. I have contacted VMware technical support, asking basically the same question: How can I create a VM of my MacBook running High Sierra?
I have read this Q&A which is related to my question. The MacBook running High Sierra also has VMware Fusion, but it's an old copy that can't be updated any longer. I have a current version (v 11.5.5) of VMware Fusion on my new-ish MacBook running Catalina - this is where I'd like to run my High Sierra VM. I would prefer this VM be created from my existing MacBook running High Sierra (a real, physical device), but that's not essential. I need to create a VM for macOS High Sierra to run with VMware Fusion.
