macOS 10.14 - probably a good one to run (as it's the last macOS version able to run 32-bit applications) but we haven't fully tested running this as a virtualised OS yet.

macOS 10.13 - buggy, slow + the new Apple File System (APFS).

macOS 10.12 - free, supports most internet/iCloud based services.

OS X 10.11 - free, supports most internet/iCloud based services but has secure certificate issues.

OS X 10.10 - was slow when installed on a hard disk, does not support latest Apple internet/iCloud based services.

OS X 10.9 - was very kludgy and slow when installed on a hard disk.

OS X 10.8 - now free, it runs very efficiently in a virtual machine and there are few internet/iCloud based services clogging it up.

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (Server) - costs money but you may already be running/want to run this to be able to use PowerPC/Rosetta based applications.

If you would prefer to set up/install a virtual machine with a clean Mac OS X/OS X/macOS from scratch please see one of the following articles instead: This article deals with transferring an existing Mac running Mac OS X / OS X / macOS to a virtual machine, or take a bootable storage device/clone/disk image and convert it into a virtual machine. MacStrategy presents this special guide to virtualising a physical Mac/hard disk/clone/disk image file. The ability to virtualise an existing Mac/macOS installation is important and very useful as it is an easy way to continue running your old Mac and also a possible way to run 32-bit applications that do not run on macOS 10.15 or later.

However, since the folder structure from OS X 10.7 Lion to OS X 10.12 Sierra is different from 10.13 High Sierra or later, the commands are slightly different, but if you use the script on this page, that will also be supported. The spelling of the command changes depending on the OS version, making it difficult to understand, but what you are doing is simple.

Restore the disk image loaded from the macOS installer into your working image file.

Temporarily create a working image file.

On this page, instead of executing multiple commands in “Terminal” to create an ISO file, you can easily create an ISO file by copying and executing a “shell script”.Īlso, I actually checked the operation of the created all ISO files with VMware and VirtualBox.īy the way, what the “shell script” does is roughly as follows.

I think that the ISO file for macOS installation is often used with virtual environment software such as VMware and VirtualBox.
