　　Once, my biggest wish was to pay for a Mac, but...forget it, see the price for yourself.

https://www.apple.com.cn/mac/ . But what can VMware not do? Let's start!

----------------------------------------text--------- ---------------------------------

1. Prepare

Download link: OS X Lion 10.7 , suitable for computers with low configuration or people who like skeuomorphic style;

　　　　　OS X EI Captain 10.11, Intel and AMD pro-tested (recommended) or macOS Sierra 10.12 . Suitable for computers with moderate configuration;

　　　　　macOS Catalina 10.15 or macOS Sierra 10.12 . Suitable for computers with higher configuration.

Novices do not recommend version 11 and above, which is very unfriendly to Intel and AMD. The computer card is slow and hot, and it is only suitable for M1 and M2 chips. (Why does the MacBook install the system in a virtual machine? I can't understand!)

If the downloaded file is in dmg format, please use UltraISO to convert it to iso format.

Prepare Baidu Netdisk and VMware15 and above.

2. Use Unloker to unlock

Download link: Unloker

First turn off VMware, right-click to run Unloker as an administrator, wait for it to download the file, and then press Enter to exit.

3. Create a virtual machine and install the virtual machine

Seeing this, your indomitable spirit is commendable! Open VMware and create a virtual machine!

Select this option to set the disk to Nvme~ (performance)

Then create a virtual machine step by step.

After the creation is complete, don't rush to open it, or you will find that it is not a virtual machine, but a white apple that I bitten off~(hiahiahia)

Needs to be changed! Open the vmx file and add after smc.present="TRUE"

smc.version="0"

smbios.reflecthost="TRUE"

hw.model="MacBookAir13,3"

board-id="Mac-551B86E5744E2388"

keyboard.vusb.enable="TRUE"

mouse.vusb.enable="TRUE"

If the virtual machine displays Boot Manager, it means that your CPU does not support it or the image does not work. (I downloaded the mirror all night! (T_T)) Change the mirror and start again
