Tip: before reading the rest of the article, it’s recommended to navigate to the Required File section of this post and download macOS Big Sur then you’ve time to read the item until the downloading gets complete.

Steps to Install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows

• Install VirtualBox on Windows PC
• Install/Update VirtualBox Extension
• Create a New Virtual Machine & Customize it
• Run VirtualBox Code to the Command Prompt
• Start the Virtual Machine
• Perform Clean Installation of macOS Big Sur
• Summary

Important Note:

Before we get started, make sure your system can support Virtualization Technology (VT), and it is enabled from BIOS so that you should be able to run Virtualization software like Virtualbox or VMware. Also, you should have a 64-bit Windows operating system with at least 2 GB Ram and 20 GB of free storage, however, we recommend you at least 4 GB of RAM or higher so you can store more files and install more apps on macOS Big Sur.

Furthermore, if you have an SSD, it’s highly recommended to use it as storage because SSD is much faster then mechanical hard drive (HDD ) and macOS run on SSD very smooth. Anyway, it is not 100% compulsory but if you have, don’t hesitate to use it.

Required Files

• Download Virtualbox
• Download Virtualbox Code
• macOS Big Sur Beta 11.0 (20A4299v) Dev Beta 1
• macOS Big Sur Beta 11.0 (20A4300b) Dev Beta 2
• macOS Big Sur Beta 11.0 (20A5343j) Dev Beta 4/Public Beta 1

Note: You can create macOS Big Sur ISO Image.

Recommendation: It’s highly recommended to create a new drive on your Windows PC and install macOS Big Sur on that drive.

Step 1: Install VirtualBox on Windows PC

From the “Required File” section of this post, you should have downloaded VirtualBox as well and if you didn’t, download VirtualBox’s latest version and install it on your Windows system. If you’ve already installed VirtualBox, then you can skip this step. Other than that, double click on VirtualBox Setup and click Next for a couple of times and you’re done with the installation.

Step 2: Install or Update VirtualBox Extension

This step is not 100% percent necessary but it’s highly recommended to do this step because macOS Big Sur might not be compatible with VirtualBox and for this reason, it will cause a problem during the installation. Download VirtualBox Extension and follow the steps below.

#1. Open up VirtualBox, navigate to Tools>Pereferences>Extensions.3

#2. Click on Plus icon and select VirtualBox extension which you’ve downloaded at the beginning of this section. Click Install or Upgrade and then click OK button.

#3. Finally, you should see something like the screenshot below.

Your setting should look something like the screenshot below.

#3. Select where you want to save your virtual hard disk. Also, make sure to increase the size of the disk. From virtual hard disk, type make sure to select VHD. If you select dynamic allocated, your VM speed will not be good but it’s good that does not allocate the specified storage at once, unlike fixed-size type.

#3. It’s time to customize some of the settings according to your choice. Click Settings and from the pane choose System. On the Motherboard, tab uncheck Floppy disk and move it down. If you’re not happy with your memory setting still, you can change it.

#4. Click the Processor tab and select a minimum of two processors or higher.

#5. Navigate to the Display menu then increase the Video memory to 128 MB.

It’s time to select your macOS Big Sur ISO file. Click Storage and then select on Empty. Click on DVD icon and choose your macOS Big Sur ISO file.

Make sure your macOS Big Sur ISO file is on the top, not your Disk because if your disk is on the top, your VM might not boot. Just change the SATA port number to 0 for your iso image. It’s not 100% compulsory.

Step 4: Run VirtualBox Code to the Command Prompt

cd "C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox"
VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "VM Name" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac19,1"
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Mac-AA95B1DDAB278B95"
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1

#5. Select your main Virtual Disk and click the Erase button. Make sure to check the size of the disk and you should not erase the wrong disk.

#6. Name your Disk that you want to install macOS Big Sur on it. I’ll name here macOS HD. Once typed a name then click the Erase button.

#7. Close Disk utility.

#8. Select Install macOS and click Continue.

#9. Click Continue.

#10. Agree to terms and Conditions.

#11. Select the installation disk and click Continue. Once you click continue it’ll take around 29 minutes to complete the first part of the installation.

NOTE: If you get the Operation Couldn’t be Completed BiErrorDomain Error 3 then follow this step by step guide below.

Fix the Operation Couldn’t be Completed BiErrorDomain Error 3

This is a very common error with macOS Big Sur beta version 1 that most people have faced.  Just use our VirtualBox code and it should work without any error.

In this guide, we will walk you through all the steps to install macOS Big Sur in VirtualBox Windows. We will show you each step with screenshots and have a video to walk you through visually. Because there may be issues with system compatibility with installations like this, check out our forum. The new GEEKrar forum is a great place to post questions or find fixed to frequently occurring issues. 

What is macOS Big Sur

macOS Big Sur is the 17th release of the Mac operating system for Macintosh computers and is the successor to macOS Catalina. The OS was officially released to the public on November 12, 2020, and is available for a series of Mac computers and can also be installed virtually, like we are in this guide.

What you need for this installation: 
– Windows 10
– 8 GB RAM
– 60 GB of free disk space
– VirtualBox Windows and Expansion Pack (found here)
– macOS Big Sur ISO image file (found here)
– A command file (download here)

Please Note: All image files are created only for educational purposes. Any misuse of any files is not our responsibility.

Step 1 – Creating a Virtual Machine

To begin, we need to install VirtualBox Windows. If you have done already, this article will walk you through the full process. Once VirtualBox is up and running, we want to ensure that you have your command file and Big Sur ISO file handy. We will need them to proceed.

1-a. In the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager, like the blue ‘New’ icon at the top

1-b. In the first window, we will be naming and identifying the type of virtual machine we’re creating. In the Name field, type in ‘BigSur.’ Machine Folder field can remain as the default unless you have a reason to change it. The Type will be Mac OS X. Version will be ‘macOS 10.13 High Sierra (64-bit). 

1-c. Under Memory size, we want to increase the available memory to at least 8GB of RAM. Click Next

1-d. ‘Hard disk,’ we will leave the default ‘Create a virtual hard disk now’ and click ‘Create.’

1-e. The ‘hard disk file type’ will also remain with the default VHD (Virtual Hard Disk). Click Next.

1-f. ‘Storage on physical hard disk’ will be Dynamically allocated.

1-g. In ‘File location and size,’ we’re leaving the default folder path, but below in the disk size, we want to increase it to at least 60GB. I have tried 40GB and 50GB with many issues. So 60 or greater is strongly suggested. Once complete, click ‘Create’ and finish the first step.

Step 2 – Modifying VirtualBox with Command File

Now that the new VirtualBox is created, we need to run a few commands to modify it and proceed with running macOS Big Sur. If you haven’t downloaded the command file text, click here to get it. 

2-a. Open the text file, go to the ‘Edit’ menu at the top, and then down to ‘Replace…” Here we want to type “VBoxNAME” in the ‘Find what’ field. In the ‘Replace with’ field, type in the name you called the VirtualBox (step2). Click the ‘Replace all’ button, and this should convert all items with the new file name.

2-b. Now head over the command prompt (Start, type ‘cmd’ hit enter), paste the first line, and hit enter. (run command prompt as administrator)

cd "C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox"

2-c. This command will shift us to the VirtualBox windows directory, and we will be ready for the next commands.

2-d. Before proceeding, verify that you are in the above directory. If you are not there, you must navigate there now before proceeding.

Highlight and copy the next six lines, paste them in the command window, and hit enter.

2-e. Once done, we can close out all the windows and start to load macOS Big Sur in VirtualBox Windows.

Step 3 – Setup for install macOS Big Sur in VirtualBox Windows

During this step, we will need to have the macOS Big Sur ISO file available. If you haven’t already downloaded it, click here to get it. 

3-a. First, open VirtualBox and select the newly created install macOS Big Sur virtual machine on the left, then click the ‘Start’ button at the top.

3-b. We will be prompted to ‘Select start-up disk,’ click on the folder icon to the right 

3-c. At the ‘Optical Disk Selector,’ click the ‘Add’ icon, and navigate to the folder where you have the Big Sur ISO file downloaded. Once selected, click on ‘Open’ and back at the window with the Big Sur ISO selected, click on ‘Choose.’

3-d. Back at the ‘Select start-up disk window, we should now have the BigSur ISO populated in the field, and we are ready to click ‘Start.’

3-e. The macOS Big Sur operating system will begin to load. This step may take a few minutes, but a prompt will pop up to select a language to continue when it’s done. 

3-f. We now want to prep the drive for installation. We will format the drive to allow macOS Big Sur to be installed. Click on ‘Disk Utility,’ then continue.

3-g. In the Disk Utility window, select the VBOX HARDDISK option on the left and the ERASE icon at the top. 

3-h. In the Name field, give the drive a label, leave the other options as default, and click Erase. This will format the drive for macOS. When the formatting is complete, click on ‘Done,’ and you can close out of the Disk Utility window.

3-i. Now we are ready to start installing macOS Big Sur. Click on the option that says ‘Install macOS’ and click on the Continue button.

3-j. You will be prompted twice for the terms of the software license agreement. To proceed, click on ‘Agree’ for both.

3-k. We will select a drive, which should be the only drive available, and click on Continue.

3-l. Now the macOS Big Sur is going to copy over and install. This process will take 15-30m to complete.

3-m. After the files have been copied over, we need to wrap up the installation with some customization details. Select Your Country or Region will prompt you to select your location, then click Continue.

3-n. Under the Written and Spoken Languages, you can leave the default settings. If you want to change these, you can click the customize option at the bottom left, or click on Continue.

3-o. For Accessibility, Data & Privacy, and Migration Assistant options, you can click on Continue.

At the Sign In with Your Apple ID, select the option ‘Set Up Later’ at the bottom left and ‘Skip’ when prompted.

3-p. For Terms and Conditions, you will be prompted twice. Select ‘Agree’ both times to proceed.

3-q. At the Create a Computer Account window, enter a Name and password for your user profile and click on Continue.

3-r. Next, for Express Setup, Analytics, and Screen Time, we can click Continue. Your virtual machine will complete its setup and reboot. After starting, a login screen will appear—type in the password you have assigned when creating the user profile. 

3-s. Lastly, a prompt for a Feedback Assistant will appear. You can either continue with it or close it out.

Now, you will see the macOS Big Sur desktop for the first time. The installation is complete! You can begin using the desktop and install any applications you’d like.

Visual Step by Step Guide – How to Install macOS Big Sur in VirtualBox Windows 2021

Apple makes new products, software, and updates every year and they introduce the updated version in WWDC(Apple Worldwide Developers). In this event people attend the show and watch the updates live, but this year the format was different. It was completely different due to coronavirus and the big incident of George Floyd. According to Apple, they value the health of customers over their enjoyment. But still, they managed the WWDC show so wonderful, entertaining, and at the same time educating. Some fans even tweeted that this year’s WWDC was better than the previous years and they didn’t have to pay money to watch the show. In this article, I’ll show how to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC.

Some of the biggest launches were, macOS Big Sur, iOS 14, iPadOS 14, WatchOS  7, tvOS 14, Apple Silicon Chips, AirPods, and many small improvements but there were changes that many fans didn’t like. Such as there was no hardware introduction and many fans were upset about that. Because all Apple lovers wait the entire year for WWDC to get introduced to new products and new updates but this year’s new products were not n the way. Anyway, let’s have a look at the updates WWDC brought this year. Let’s Have a look at macOS Big Sur. Within the next sections, we’ll not only show up the macOS Big Surs features but also show how to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Winows PC.

What’s New in macOS Big Sur

In the new macOS Big Sur Apple especially focused on the small details and the need of customers. macOS Big Sur has powerful designs and its customization options have made,macOS Big Sur to the list of most advanced desktops operating systems in the world. This macOS is the newest version of macOS and its full version will release in fall this year. macOS Big Sur is huge improvements because Apple doesn’t use the number 10 for macOS Big Sur. macOS Big Sur is the 11.0 version of macOS.

As the version number has increased the best features, new changes, and easy to use formula has changed too. With macOS Big Sur Apple brought a huge update since the introduction of Mac OS X (many years ago). We have explained every detail from head to toe about macOS Big Sur in this Article. And we have a glance at WWDC too. After this,

With the previous macOS was named Catalina, Apple used a picture of Santa Catalina island as the desktop picture. Apple had wonderful pictures of Santa Catalina Island on the Desktop as the profile picture. and With the Time-shifting desktop feature, that looks way better. But with macOS Big Sur we don’t have a pic of Big Sur bridge as the desktop or profile picture. instead, we have wonderful and colorful paints on the profile picture that can match to mood and personality of everyone.

So with all those things and hurdles, most of you would want to download macOS Big Sur ISO since I assume most of you doesn’t have access to macOS neither have a reliable connection. I mean if you have a Mac, means there wouldn’t be need to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows. So in this case, you can quite easily download it from here because that’s all you’ve to do. So when you have this option, you don’t really need to select the first option.

• Download macOS Big Sur ISO – latest version

Step Two – Install Oracle VM VirtualBox on Windows

With the file only, we can’t install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Winows PC straightly. What we need is a platform or an environment to run in. So with this in mind, we need to install VirtualBox which is not our only option but definitely our preferred way to do. So we encourage you to first download and install VirtualBox on your Windows machine so we can proceed further. Both the download and installing process is as easy as you would imagine. It requires a minimal work of only getting the file and running it with a few wizards to fiddle with. Also, it isn’t heavy or should slow down your PC, instead it installs very quickly and won’t take much time and space.

• Download Oracle VM VirtualBox

In this case, download the Orcale VM VirtualBox from the link below and then install it once it’s finished downloading. Not to forget, download the VirtualBox extension pack also with it.

The best thing is, it desn’t required nothing more then simply download and install like signing up or asking questions or license or anything else. So once you’ve run the setup, it will look like this. Simply press Next.

Press Next a few times more and when this window appears, click Install.

When it’s finished, click Finish.

You can let it run and simply exit the installation.

Step Three – Install VirtualBox Extension Pack

So when you’ve installed the VirtualBox, it also requires installing VirtualBox extension pack. What it is, it is basically a pack of tools and features which enable us USBs that includes mouse and keyword working and a bunch of other things which it supports. But it’s not as necessary as it seems like or as VMware Tools. Despite that, we will install which might prevent some problems and errors that might occur when installing. And as well as, since Big Sur isn’t fully out yet, and is still in beta mode, it might have some problems or bugs and errors so it’s better to install VirtualBox extension pack so it can try to prevent or catch up with those errors. I recommend installing VirtualBox extension pack for a better experience. Here’s how to proceed with it to accomplish how to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Winows PC.

• Download Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack

Not to worry, it’s also similar to installing VirtualBox, and can be obtained from the same page where you would get VirtualBox. So after you’ve get it, fire up the VirtualBox and simply open it up, and it will prompt you to install, so simply click on Install and it will be installed.

It will show up some other windows, like terms and conditions and stuff like that. Simply proceed with them and let it install.

Once it’s finished, click OK.

Step Four – Create A Brand New Virtual Machine

Creating a virtual machine in VirtualBox is different from VMware. That means it’s pretty easy and just like we mentioned, it doesn’t require installing patch instead it supports installing macOS by default. Not only that, it also provides an option of expert option which will make the wizard all in one window so you can set up the machine within a window not going through options. So let’s see how it is and how it looks like. So let’s first create a new machine to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC as quickly as you can.

To create a new machine, open up the VirtualBox, and click on New.

The create virtual machine window will appear, simply click on Expert Mode.

Now fill up the blank with a name probably macOS Big Sur, and then specify a location where the files would be store. After then, it will automatically detect the OS and version. Next up, increase the memory size to as high as you can means 50-60% of your system’s memory and in the last section, select create a virtual machine disk now.

Within this window, first, specify where you would like to save your machine’s disk and then also specify the disk size. For the disk size, make sure you assign at least 100 or more GBs of storage space. And last for the disk type, select VHD which will automatically expand the disk size by your usage and won’t use any extra space if you’re using not all of it. When you’re done, click on Create.

Step Five – Set up The Virtual Machine Settings

At this point, we’re basically near to finalize the machine but without setting it up, it’s of no use. The customize is primiarly done in order to meet our needs and as well as run the machine according to our computer resources. Don’t take it funny because if you skip this part, it will seriously fail the installation and is definitely a game changer. Even if you get in trouble with some things you can assume you’ve done something wrong in this part maybe. That’s almost the last step to how to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Winows PC.

Goto the machine’s settings.

And on the System tab, uncheck floppy.

In the next tab which is processors, set the processor to the highest you can means 50-60% of your system resources at least 2 or more.

Next to the display tab, set the video memory to the highest and also change the Graphics Controller to the VMSVGA.

Heading to the next tab, which is Storage, click on the disc icon and then click on the disc icon on the left side and then choose macOS Big Sur ISO ISO. This will direct the machine to use the macOS Big Sur ISO for booting.

To change it to boot first, from the optical drive menu, set the macOS Big Sur ISO to SATA Port 0. Make sure it’s up not down the disk since it shows the machine will boot from what.

Step Six – Apply Commands on Command Prompt

Similar to running a command, it also requires running a simple command which is quite easy. These codes aren’t different from any other code and are very simple to apply. If you are wondering what it does is, it basically patches VirtualBox to install and run macOS Big Sur without any problem, even though VirtualBox supports installing macOS by itself. Don’t worry it won’t harm, neither the machine nor your computer.

Not to forget, find out and copy your virtual machine’s exact name. To do this, open up the VirtualBox then click on the settings icon and copy your machine name from there.

The procedure is quite simple. All you’ve to do is first close VirtualBox with the machine which is very important.

In this step, copy and paste the following code to the Notepad and then press Ctrl + H. Then write down the name of the machine, in this case, we will write “VM Name” and then in the next blank, write down the “macOS Big Sur” then press Replace All. It will simply replace all of the VM Name to the machine name which will be ready for the next step.

Once that’s done, copy the whole commands and simply open up the command prompt from the start menu. No need to open it as an administrator.

Once opened, paste the whole commands with a single right-click then press Enter.

Step Seven – Install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC

The machine’s got ready, yh!! And that’s all for creating and setting up the machine and there’s nothing more remaining or important to do. There it comes time to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC. A little different from VMware but in actual it’s pretty easy than what you had imagined. So let’s see how it goes.

Now fire up the VirtualBox and then start up the machine from the button. Since it’s the first time, it will take a considerable time.

Not different from the actual installation on Mac or installation on VMware, it simply is the same to how to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC. So after a long wait, it will come up the same installation you might have seen before. Select your preferred language and click Continue.

Then select Disk Utility and click Continue.

Now select the disk we created earlier on VirtualBox and then click on Erase.

Give out a special name and click on Erase.

Once finished, click on Done then close the window out.

At this point, when the disk is ready click on the Install macOS and Continue with it.

With the macOS installation, Continue only. That’s the how-to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC.

Agree with the terms and conditions and click on Agree.

Last but not least, select the only disk we erased and click on Install.

The installation will begin in a minute so not to worry, it will do all itself. Means you can let it like this for some while and it will install all by itself with a few reboots and wait it will be all ready.

Step Eight – Set up macOS Big Sur Settings on VirtualBox

The installation is pretty much done now. What’s remaining is to make and choose how you’d like to set up your Mac and what things you’d like to be in or out and what things you’d like your Mac to do for you and things like that. It’s a last tiny part of the installation which is super simple. And the good thing is, you can start testing up its settings, so whatever your choice, go for it.

So after a few time, when the installation is completed, it will be in this spot.

In this point, choose your region and Continue.

Select your preferred keyboard and things and click Continue.

If you have some physical problems or would like to set up those, it’s fine. Otherwise, no need for any of those, simply click Not Now.

If the data and privacy window comes up, agree with it.

Don’t transfer anything from your PC unless your want to use it as your primary operating system which we assume you won’t. However, if you need something to transfer in, you can do it later more easily so don’t choose it.

Whether you want to sign in now or later you can do both. If you have an Apple ID, you can do it now, or if you don’t have an Apple ID, you can do it later also.

Read or simply agree with the terms and conditions by clicking on Agree. Then click Agree on the pop up again.

Just like Windows or any other operating system, you’ll need to create a user account at least one to work, however, as Mac is more secure due to it’s security, you need to create an account with a password in order to use your Mac. So fill up the details and click on Continue.

The express set up reminds and enables maps and other apps track and see your location in order to improve things.

Just like its name, the Analytics will send info and diagnostic data back to Apple in order to improve things up so Continue with it.

Continue with the screen time by clicking on Set up later as I assume you don’t want to set it up and also because you might not be familiar with.

When the Siri pops up, you’re free to opt in or out with Siri, and simply click on Continue.

Choose your preferred look and click Continue.

And there you go! The installation is going to be finished soon completely, it is just preparing and setting up things in place to make it ready for use, so simply chill.

Once it does so, it should be within the main area. And figure out how beautiful it is, how updated and how speed it is. And check whatever you’d like to, and know why its beating or challenging Windows and taking over the Windows day by day so by using it you will definitely get to know. That’s the procedure on how to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC.

Here’s another shot with the details.

Last Step – Fix macOS Big Sur Screen Resolution on VirtualBox

After installing Big Sur successfully on VirtualBox, you might be now confident to get your hands dirty with things. But actually that isn’t the case because there’s a problem, not actually huge but little small problem and that is the screen resolution. If you’ve used or even if you haven’t very much, still you might have the idea to do full-screen resolution, but when you do, you’ll see the black covered all around the screen except for the middle which is the wallpaper and that is pretty small.

And that is obviously not ignorebale and it does happen for all even for us, but luckily there’s a pretty easy fix to it. By default, the screen resolution is the small resolution you see which comes with VirtualBox and not only on VirtualBox, it’s also appears on VMware if you’ve installed before. But no worries, we can solve it with these steps.

These methods not only work for macOS Big Sur but also works for macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave and other versions just by changing their machine names and others all are the same, the steps and everything. While there are different ways and different methods to fix, but as you know us, we choose the one that works the best or at least which works better than others.

And if you have installed the previous versions of macOS on VirtualBox, you might have the idea of how we have done it and how we will accomplish with this. So get ready and let’s go.

First and foremost, close the machine and VirtualBox both.

Then close VirtualBox.

After its done, open up the macOS Big Sur Code for VirtualBox and then press Ctrl + H which will open the replace panel. After you do, write down VM Name at the first, and then your virtual machine name at the second which is macOS Big Sur for us. Once you do that, click Replace All.

If you don’t know your virtual machine name, head over to the VirtualBox and then the machine and you can see there or from the settings.

In this screen, open the Command Prompt (No need to do it as administrator) from the Start Menu.

Now change the resolution or let it by default as it is 1920×1080 if your screen resolution is that. If it isn’t then you can change the screen resolution from the below. The resolutions are mentioned below and you can simply choose the one which fits your screen and replace the current resolution which is 1920×1080 it’s that easy.

Once that’s done, copy the one-line command and open the Command Prompt and paste the line on the Command Prompt by right-clicking and then press Enter.

Once done, fire up the VirtualBox and switch on the machine.

And there it is, the macOS Big Sur is there with the full resolution. Sign in and you will see the ultimate macOS Big Sur with all it’s features and full-screen resolution.

To check, head over to the Apple icon and click About this Mac and then from the Displays menu, you will see your screen resolution.

This is the easiest and most working way to do this. Except this, there are a lot of ways to do it but since they sometimes work and sometimes not, it makes them not compelling or very good to use. As well as, they aren’t very easy, instead they are a little or more complicated. Since all of them does the same job but the one we have picked is better so there’s no more thing to choose from.

Overall, this was all about installing and setting up macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox. So what we did was install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows PC completely from scratch like from getting up the file or creating to fixing the small screen resolution problem and making it entirely ready to use. Other than this, we’re working on the video and will be out soon and we will keep you updated with that.

Are you interested in running macOS Big Sur or Monterey from a Windows PC? If you don’t want to spend money on a Mac, you can use a virtual machine and still try out macOS, thanks to VirtualBox.

Before you start making assumptions, this is not a super-complicated Hackintosh setup. Instead, you will be running VirtualBox natively on your Windows computer and installing macOS as a guest operating system within VirtualBox. Unlike a Hackintosh, you don’t need any special hardware to get macOS up and running on your computer. With VirtualBox, you can install multiple operating systems on a single computer and seamlessly switch between them as you desire. The operating systems basically run within an application, which virtualizes the hardware, and the OS itself doesn’t know the difference.

If you’re interested in running macOS Big Sur or macOS Monterey in Windows using VirtualBox, then read along.

Requirements for Running macOS in VirtualBox

This is going to be a pretty long procedure, but we’ll make it as simple as possible. However, before you get started, you’ll need to download VirtualBox and some additional essential files. The following links should be helpful to download the files necessary to get macOS Big Sur up and running on your VirtualBox virtual machine without any issues. However, you’ll need to obtain the ISO file for the latest version of macOS Big Sur by yourself. You can also use a different macOS version, provided you have an ISO of that release too.

• Download VirtualBox for Windows
• Download VirtualBox Extension Pack
• VirtualBox Code
• macOS Screen Resolution Code for VirtualBox

Performance will depend on how fast the computer is that is running VirtualBox, so obviously the better the PC the better that macOS will run virtualized on it.

How to Install macOS Big Sur Using VirtualBox on Windows

Now that you have all the necessary files downloaded to your computer, you’re ready to go ahead with the procedure. This tutorial is detailed for educational purposes only.

1. Install the VirtualBox software on your computer. After that, click on the VirtualBox Extension Pack file that you downloaded.

   

2. Clicking on the extension pack will open VirtualBox on Windows with a pop-up prompting you about the installation. Click on “Install” to finish this step.

   

3. You’ve successfully installed the extension pack. Now, you’re ready to create your virtual machine. Click on “New” in the VirtualBox software.

   

4. Here, give a valid name for your virtual machine. For example, “macOS Big Sur” as shown below. Make sure the type is set to Mac OS X and the 64-bit version is selected. Once you’re done, click on “Expert mode” to proceed to the next step.

   

5. In this step, you’ll be selecting the memory size or RAM that will be allocated for your virtual machine. It’s recommended to set half of your total system RAM for the guest OS. Make sure, “Create a virtual hard disk now” is selected and then click on “Create”.

   

6. Now, use the slider to set the virtual hard disk size according to your preference. Although this depends on how much free storage space you have on your computer, we recommend you to allocate 100 GB for the virtual machine. Select “VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk)” for the hard disk file type and click on “Create”.

   

7. Now, click on “Settings” in VirtualBox as shown in the screenshot below.

   

8. Head over to the “System” category and click on “Processor” from the top menu. You’ll be able to use the slider to adjust processor allocation. It’s recommended to allocate half of your processor’s core count for the virtual machine. Keep in mind that if you have a 4 core/8 thread processor, it will show up in VirtualBox as 8 CPU cores. In that case, you can set 4 cores for processor allocation.

   

9. Next, click on “Display” from the left pane and move the slider all the way to the right for “Video Memory”.

   

10. Now, go to the “Storage” category and click on “Empty” under Storage Devices. Then, click on the optical disk icon on the right and choose “Create a Virtual Optical Disk” from the dropdown menu.

    

11. You can click on “Add” to browse for the macOS Big Sur ISO file that you download using File Explorer. Select the ISO file and click on “Choose”.

    

12. Now, click on “OK” to exit VirtualBox settings and close the VirtualBox application as well.

    

13. Open “Command Prompt” on your PC. Be sure to run Command Prompt as an administrator.

    

14. Now, open the VBox Code text file in Notepad. Copy/Paste the first command line in Command Prompt and hit “Enter”.

    

15. Next, you’ll need to paste the remaining lines, but before that, you will need to replace “Your Virtual Machine Name” with the name you used while setting up your machine in VirtualBox. For example, it’s “macOS Big Sur” in this instance. After replacing it, copy/paste all the remaining lines in Command Prompt and hit “Enter”.

    

16. Now, open VirtualBox again and click on “Start”. Wait a couple of minutes for VirtualBox to perform the operation. You should be able to see the macOS installation progress in VirtualBox now. This is going to take several minutes to complete, but once it’s done, you can follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Mac, which is similar to setting up any new Apple device.

    

17. Although you got macOS up and running on your computer, we’re not quite finished yet. The default resolution of macOS or any guest OS that you install on VirtualBox is 1024×768, which is probably not what you want. However, this can be changed using the macOS screen resolution code. Close VirtualBox, run Command Prompt as an administrator, and copy/paste the first line from the screen resolution code file. Click “Enter”.

    

18. Now, make sure you use your VM name and replace the resolution value in the second line of code according to your monitor resolution or personal preference. Then, copy/paste this line in Command Prompt. Hit “Enter” and exit CMD.

    

The next time you start your virtual machine, VirtualBox will load up macOS, and at a higher screen resolution.

Here’s a reality check. Don’t expect your macOS virtual machine to operate anywhere nearly as fast as an actual Mac, or Windows natively running on a computer. A sluggish experience is to be expected. The performance of the virtual machine will also be heavily dependent on your system hardware.

That being said, installing macOS on a Windows computer virtually is so much easier with software like VirtualBox and could come a long way in helping you decide if you want to switch to a Mac. You can connect your iOS devices to your Virtual Mac just like a real Mac, try out various software, apps, and a lot more.

This procedure primarily focuses on macOS Big Sur, but it works the same with other recent releases of macOS too, provided you have the ISO file for that particular version. If you want to update the macOS installed in your virtual machine to the latest software, you can update the system software just like you normally would on an actual Mac.

Likewise, VirtualBox can also be used to virtually install and run Windows on a Mac. The process is fairly similar if you have the required files, mainly the Windows ISO and VirtualBox.

The name (macOS Big Sur) of the Mac is based on a popular coastline in central California, south of the San Francisco Bay Area. This version will probably be numerically called MacOS 11. In terms of appearance, it brings a relatively new design and new style to the Mac. And now we’re seeing more and more of Mac’s design language approach to the iPhone and iPad software platforms.

The most important aspect of the changes to Mac’s new software platform is the changes in its user interface in terms of appearance. Now the interface elements have higher transparency, more curvature in the corners, more space to display content instead of boring menus and settings, and it can be said that its appearance is exactly the same as the features of iOS 14 iPadOS 14.

The brightness of the Mac’s interface elements in the macOS Big Sur is brighter than ever. And of course for those who aren’t too fond of this white, the use of Dark Mode will be available. With the addition of widget support, shared symbols, new center control, automatic notifications, and, of course, the rounding of app icons (which have also been redesigned) are now more than ever synchronized between Apple’s various software platforms.

Install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows

Step 1. Download the Required Files

1- VirtualBox: The very main important software is the virtualization software which you should download first. Many users, specially IT nerds and computer geeks, uses VirtualBox, because it is open source.

2- VirtualBox Extension Pack: Oracle has created this small piece of script to solve issues with USBs. In fact if you read the mano, it is not just for USB, it made for other reasons too. But we are using the VirtualBox Extension pack, in order to avoid error like mouse is stuck.

3- macOS Big Sur ISO File: Within the recent WWDC 2020 event, apple moved from the macOS 10.15 to macOS 11. You can say, that macOS Big Sur is the new era of operating system for Apple devices. Seems like Apple has followed Microsoft path of one core. The new design of macOS Big Sur is similar to iOS 14, the messages, notifcation, curve design, emojis and more.

Step 2. Install the required software

Once you left the first step, start the second step by installing the VirtualBox. Double on the setup to start the installation, You can install it yourself.

It is time to install the VirtualBox extension pack, either you can double on the setup, or import it on the VirtualBox. Agree to the terms and conditions and choose install, that’s all.

Step 3. Create a new Virtual machine

Create the New VM by choosing New on general window of VirtualBox, then on the next window, choose expert mode.

Expert mode is the window where you have to enter, name of your virtual machine, choose the location to save, macOS type and version. For the second part choose the memory size and create a New Virtual Hard Disk.

For the next step, choose the location to save to the VM and do not forget to specify the amount of storage for the VM. Leave the other settings as default.

Step 4. Configure VM Settings

For my PC, these settings are optional, it is working totally fine except the floppy. But you have to try if it is working without these settings below or no.

The moment the Virtual machine is created, you will be on general window of VirtualBox. Choose the VM and click on the settings to bring change to the Virtual hardware of the VM.

uncheck floppy from system panel and leave the other settings as the below screenshot. Basically they are the default settings, just don’t touch anything.

Move to processor tab, and add plus one the number of processor, which becomes two.

This is very important, go to the storage panel, choose empty and attach the macOS Big Sur ISO.

And finally, enable the USB 3.0.

Apply the changes, and go to file menu and exit VirtualBox (Don’t close it from the X key, because it will be running in the backgroun.)

Copy these codes and paste them inside the Notepad, then replace the “Virtual machine name” with the name of the your VM. For better understanding look at the picture below the codes.
