Running Apple macOS Mojave in a Virtual Machine on Windows 10

Running Apple macOS Mojave in a Virtual Machine on Windows 10

Over the decades I have managed to get a number of "Hackintoshes" going on PC hardware. I recently had some interest in having an Apple Mac again and have discovered that it is relatively easy to do it as a virtual machine under Windows. The procedure uses Oracle's Virtualbox and some tweaks.

Initial install

The procedure to get the basic macOS going that I used (Nov 2019):

Summary of the procedure: Install Virtualbox. Download a prepared image and use that within Virtualbox along with some settings. Execute some Command Processor lines; just cut and paste from the article. The Virtualbox USB routines referred to in the article need to be installed. Boot macOS and set it up. This gives a working Mac. Restart after install and again if there are any errors.  Enter your AppleID in the Appstore. The main problem is a low display resolution but that is easily fixed.

I used both the macOS HFS and APFS file system versions. Both work but HFS is meant to be faster. However, updates seem to want APFS. (not resolved yet??)

Fix display resolution

The procedure set the display resolution: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/make-virtualbox-full-screen/

Just one extra Command line with Virtualbox closed. Change the name of your device and screen size as required. Then run macOS at the desired resolution.
Update to last Mojave version
