Mike9876 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hello, I am trying to install mac OS X on Hyper-V with Windows 10 Host. Can it be done? Does Hyper-V Manager have an unlocker? Should I use an ISO? I am a member of Apple's Beta Software Program and I would like to use my macOS Sierra on a VM. I know you can do it on VMware and Virtual Box but I havent found anything on Hyper-V. Can anyone help? Please respond. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Unlikely, as Hyper-V does not support Mac at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punjabigator Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 There is a possibility now use Hyper-V on Windows 10 using OpenCore. I tried a couple of ideas but did not go far enough. Any ideas are welcome. not sure how to use OpenCore to boot Hyver-V. Here is the link to Hyver-V kext https://github.com/acidanthera/MacHyperVSupport 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebus Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 And what difference it makes how old the thread is, if there never was a solution to it!? And now it seems to be at least a potential. Well done for spotting it! Time to test 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Sadly failed miserably. First I had same error that I described in another thread : Start Image Failed - Aborted Went through all the possible "suggestions". None made any difference. It will need somebody more experienced to get it going Then re-created installer.vhdx (a bit confusing process: on Mac create USB installer from Catalina.app, use SuperDuper to create image from USB (Diskutil cannot do it, it seems), use Diskutil to convert the .dmg to read-write dmg, then do the required qemu-img convert -f raw -O vhdx Installer.dmg Installer.vhdx) Add EFI folder to EFI partition and now I get stuck on Edited July 1, 2021 by sebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naki Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Just use VMware Workstation 16, it will make life much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Revenger1 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) I've seen it work using Acidanthera's MacHyperVSupport. It's generally a pretty barebones setup. Just need VirtualSMC.kext and MacHyperVSupport.kext. There are some additional info given under the readme for that kext as well. If your on an AMD host though, it requires the AMD patches plus an additional one, since a lot of the CPUID info is passed through from the host. I haven't quite managed it on my AMD system yet. Recovery boots fine, but all my internet recovery installs fail at varying points so it's kinda confusing where it's failing on my end.

Someone on Spiceworks said they created a macOS VM in VMware and then converted it to vhdx using Starwind converter. Will try this myself soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Revenger1 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I've gotten it working on my desktop. Some things to keep in mind: 1) Some of the SSDTs have ACPI patches - make sure to read the headers on these before compiling. 2) AMD desktops require an extra patch in addition to many of the other normal AMD-OSX patches. 3) MacHyperVSupportMonterey replaces MacHyperVSupport on newer versions of macOS. I went the internet recovery route. I used disk management to create a VHD which was about ~1GB big. It contains the EFI and the internet recovery base system image under com.apple.boot.recovery. I also added another VHD to the VM to actually install macOS onto. Big Sur had some issues with this approach, but Monterey works fine. Make sure you apply the ACPI patches for any SSDTs you use in the repo! Edited March 9, 2023 by 1Revenger1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Need to revisit this one ~1GB big. It contains the EFI and the internet recovery base system image under com.apple.boot.recovery. What EFI did you use & which recovery base system image Thanks sebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

startergo Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I got it working, but only 3MB Vram? Qemu is better. At least it gives me 7MB. And Vmware is even better with 128MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 So it seems that it looks like dead end, somebody got something, somebody else got something else. I got nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
