Cara Memasang macOS High Sierra di VirtualBox pada Windows 10
Baik Anda ingin sesekali menguji situs web di Safari, atau mencoba sedikit perangkat lunak di lingkungan Mac, memiliki akses ke versi terbaru macOS di mesin virtual sangat berguna. Sayangnya, Anda tidak seharusnya melakukan ini — jadi menjalankan macOS di VirtualBox, paling tidak, rumit.
Perbarui: Instruksi di sini berlaku untuk versi macOS yang lebih lama. Jika Anda ingin menginstal versi terbaru macOS di VirtualBox, lihat skrip ini di GitHub. Ini menjanjikan untuk membawa Anda melalui proses penginstalan dan pengaturan mesin virtual macOS. Kami belum mengujinya sendiri, tetapi kami telah mendengar hal-hal yang baik.Namun, itu tidak mustahil. Beberapa orang di forum InsanelyMac telah menemukan proses yang berhasil. Satu-satunya hal yang tidak berfungsi adalah suara, yang karena alasan tertentu sangat terdistorsi atau tidak ada. Selain itu, ini adalah macOS High Sierra, berjalan dengan lancar di VirtualBox.
Untuk mempermudah banyak orang, kami telah menggabungkan metode dari beberapa utas forum yang berbeda menjadi satu tutorial langkah demi langkah, lengkap dengan tangkapan layar. Mari selami.

CATATAN: Agar ini berfungsi, Anda memerlukan akses ke Mac asli untuk mengunduh High Sierra. Anda bisa, kami kira, mendapatkan ISO Sierra Tinggi dengan cara lain, tetapi kami tidak merekomendasikannya. Pinjam Mac teman selama satu jam jika Anda tidak memilikinya, dan Anda akan baik-baik saja — segala sesuatu di luar langkah pertama tutorial ini dapat dilakukan di PC Windows Anda.
Jika Anda menggunakan Mac dan menginginkan mesin virtual macOS untuk digunakan pada Mac tersebut, kami sarankan untuk memeriksa Parallels Desktop Lite, karena dapat membuat mesin virtual macOS secara gratis dan jauh lebih mudah untuk digunakan.
Siap memulai? Ayo masuk!
Langkah Satu: Buat File ISO High Sierra macOS
Untuk memulai, kita perlu membuat file ISO dari penginstal macOS High Sierra, sehingga kita dapat memuatnya di VirtualBox pada mesin Windows kita. Ambil Mac pinjaman Anda, buka Mac App Store, cari Sierra, dan klik "Unduh".
Saat proses selesai, penginstal akan diluncurkan — tidak apa-apa, tutup saja dengan Command + Q. Kami tidak ingin memutakhirkan Mac teman Anda; kami hanya membutuhkan file yang diunduh.
Untuk mengonversi file-file itu ke ISO, kita perlu menggunakan Terminal, yang dapat Anda temukan di Aplikasi> Utilitas.
Pertama, jalankan perintah berikut untuk membuat image disk kosong:
hdiutil create -o /tmp/HighSierra.cdr -size 7316m -layout SPUD -fs HFS + J
Selanjutnya, pasang gambar kosong Anda:
hdiutil lampirkan /tmp/HighSierra.cdr.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint / Volumes / install_build
Sekarang Anda akan memulihkan BaseSystem.dmg dari penginstal ke gambar yang baru dipasang:
asr restore -source / Applications / Install \ macOS \ High \ Sierra.app/Contents/SharedSupport/BaseSystem.dmg -target / Volumes / install_build -noprompt -noverify -erase
Perhatikan bahwa, setelah melakukan ini, nama titik pemasangan tujuan kami telah berubah menjadi "Sistem / Sistem Dasar OS X". Kamu hampir selesai! Lepaskan gambar:
hdiutil detach / Volume / OS \ X \ Base \ System
Dan, terakhir, ubah gambar yang Anda buat menjadi file ISO:
hdiutil convert /tmp/HighSierra.cdr.dmg -format UDTO -o /tmp/HighSierra.iso
Pindahkan ISO ke desktop:
mv /tmp/HighSierra.iso.cdr ~ / Desktop / HighSierra.iso
Dan Anda memiliki file ISO Sierra Sierra yang dapat di-boot!
Salin ke mesin Windows Anda menggunakan flash drive besar, hard drive eksternal, atau melalui jaringan lokal Anda.
Langkah Kedua: Buat Mesin Virtual Anda di VirtualBox
Selanjutnya, buka mesin Windows Anda, dan instal VirtualBox jika Anda belum melakukannya, pastikan Anda memiliki versi terbaru (serius, versi yang lebih lama mungkin tidak berfungsi.)
Buka dan klik tombol "Baru". Beri nama Mesin Virtual Anda "High Sierra", dan pilih "Mac OS X" untuk sistem operasi dan "Mac OS X (64-bit)" untuk versinya (saat tulisan ini dibuat, "macOS High Sierra" tidak ditawarkan, tetapi tidak apa-apa.)
Lanjutkan prosesnya. Untuk memori, kami menyarankan Anda menggunakan setidaknya 4096MB, meskipun Anda dapat memilih lebih banyak jika Anda memiliki cukup RAM untuk disimpan di mesin Windows Anda.
Selanjutnya, Anda akan ditanyai tentang hard drive Anda. Pilih "Buat Hard Disk Virtual Sekarang" dan klik Buat.
Choose VDI for hard disk type and click Next. You’ll be asked if you want a dynamically sized drive or fixed. We recommend Fixed Size, since it’s a bit faster, though it’ll take up a bit more hard drive space on your Windows machine.
Click Next. You’ll be asked how big a drive you want; we recommend at least 25GB, which is big enough for the OS and a few applications. Depending on your storage situation, you could offer more, but we don’t think you can really use much less than that.
Click through the prompts, and you’ve created an entry for your virtual machine! Now it’s time to do a little configuration.
Step Three: Configure Your Virtual Machine in VirtualBox
You should see your virtual machine in VirtualBox’s main window.
Select it, then click the big yellow “Settings” button. First, head to “System” in the left sidebar. On the Motherboard tab, make sure that “Floppy” is unchecked.
Next head to the “Processor” tab, and make sure you have at least two CPUs allocated to the virtual machine.
Next, click “Display” in the left sidebar, and make sure Video Memory is set to at least 128MB.
Next, click “Storage” in the left sidebar, then click the “Empty” CD drive. Click the CD icon at the top right, then browse to the High Sierra ISO file you created earlier.
Be sure to click “OK” to finalize all the changes you’ve made, then close VirtualBox. No, seriously: close VirtualBox now, or the next steps won’t work.
Step Four: Configure Your Virtual Machine From The Command Prompt
We’ve made a few tweaks, but we need to make a few more more in order to convince the operating system it’s running on a real Mac. Sadly, there are no options for this from VirtualBox’s interface, so you’ll need to open the Command Prompt.
Open the Start Menu, search for “Command Prompt,” then right-click it and select “Run as administrator.”
You need to run a number commands, in order. Paste the following commands, pressing Enter after each one and waiting for it to complete:
cd "C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox"
VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "High Sierra" --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 04100800 7fbae3ff bfebfbff
VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "MacBookPro11,3"
VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"
VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Mac-2BD1B31983FE1663"
VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"
VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1
That’s it! If everything worked, you shouldn’t see any feedback; the commands will simply run. If the command did not work, make sure your virtual machine is named “High Sierra” exactly; if it isn’t, edit the commands above putting your machine’s name in the quotes. Go ahead and close the Command Prompt. We’re heading back to VirtualBox now.
Step Five: Boot and Run The Installer
Re-open VirtualBox, click your Sierra machine, then click “Start.” Your machine will start to boot. You will see a lot of superfluous information as this happens—and I mean a lot—but don’t worry about it. It’s normal, even some of the things that look like errors.
You should only worry if a specific error hangs for five minutes or more. Just walk away and let it run for a bit. If you’ve done everything right, it’ll boot.
Eventually, you’ll see the installer asking you to pick a language:
Pick “English,” or whatever language you prefer, then click “Next.” Before you do anything else, however, click “Disk Utility” then “Continue.”
You won’t see the drive: don’t panic, High Sierra hides blank drives by default. In the menu bar, click “View” followed by “Show All Devices.”
You should now see your empty virtual drive in the sidebar. Click it, then click the “Erase” option.
Name the drive “Macintosh HD,” and leave the other two settings as-is: “Mac OS Extended Journaled” and “GUID Partition Map”. Do not create an AFS partition, because it will not work and you’ll have to start over with a new virtual hard drive. Click “Erase,” then close Disk Utility when the process is complete. You’ll be brought back to the main window.
Select “Reinstall macOS” then click “Continue.” You’ll be asked to agree with the terms.
Agree and you’ll eventually be asked to choose a hard drive; select the partition you just made.
The installation will begin! This might take a while, so be patient. Eventually your virtual machine will restart and take you…back to the installer. Don’t panic: this is to be expected.
Step Six: Boot Installer Stage Two From the Virtual Hard Drive
At this point the installer has copied files onto the virtual hard drive, and expects to boot from there. For whatever reason this does not work on the virtual machine, which is why you’re seeing the installer again.
Turn off your virtual machine and open its settings. Head to Storage, click “HighSierra.iso” in the “Storage Tree” panel, then click the CD icon at top-right and click “Remove Disk from Virtual Drive.” This will completely disconnect our installation ISO.
Now start up the virtual machine and you’ll see this lovely screen.
This is the EFI Internal Shell, and as long as you see “FS1” listed in yellow, you can use it to launch the rest of the installer. Click the virtual machine and allow it to capture you mouse and keyboard, then type fs1: and hit Enter. This will switch directories to FS1, where the rest of the installer is located.
Next we’re going to run a few commands in order to switch to the directory we need:
cd "macOS Install Data" cd "Locked Files" cd "Boot Files"
Now we can run the installer itself with the following command:
boot.efi
The installer will pick up where it left off. First you’ll see a series of text, like before, but eventually you’ll see the GUI installer come back. (Don’t worry, you only have to go through this process once.)
We’re getting there, just need a little bit more patience.
Step Eight: Log Into macOS High Sierra
Eventually the virtual machine will reboot again, this time into macOS High Sierra. If that doesn’t happen, try ejecting the ISO from the Virtual Machine. When High Sierra does boot, you’ll need to go through choosing your country, setting up a user, and the rest of the initial setup process.
Eventually, you’ll make it to the Mac desktop. Yay!
You can now try out any Mac software, though some functions, like FaceTime and Messages, won’t work because Apple won’t recognize your computer as a real Mac. But a lot of the basic stuff should work. Have fun!
Step Eight (Optional): Change Your Resolution
By default, your virtual machine will have a resolution of 1024×768, which is not a lot of room to work with. If you try to change the resolution from within macOS, however, you will see no option to do so. Instead, you need to enter a few commands.
Shut down your Virtual Machine by shutting down macOS: click the Apple in the menu bar, then click “Shut Down.” Next, close VirtualBox entirely (seriously, this step will not work if VirtualBox is still open!) and head back to Windows’ Command Prompt as an admin. You need to run the following two commands:
cd "C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox"
VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode" N
In the second command, you need to replace the N with a number from one to five, depending on what resolution you want:
- 1 gives you a resolution of 800×600
- 2 gives you a resolution of 1024×768
- 3 gives you a resolution of 1280×1024
- 4 gives you a resolution of 1440×900
- 5 gives you a resolution of 1920×1200
Start up VirtualBox, load up your virtual machine, and it should boot to your preferred resolution!

From now on, you can open VirtualBox for any Mac-related testing you want to do. Again, you’ll see a lot of errors pop up during boot, but they’re fine; ignore them. Also, remember that audio won’t work, nor will things like FaceTime or iMessage, which require a real Mac. This isn’t going to be perfect, which is to be expected from an entirely unsupported setup. But it’s macOS, in a virtual machine, and that’s not bad! Be sure to check out our guide to VirtualBox’s advanced features to get the most out of your machine, too.
One more thing: a huge shout-out to Chad S. Samuels, without whom I could not have updated this guide for High Sierra. Thank you so much!
