Virtualbox Sierra Install



Years ago I wrote a post for installing Mac OS Yosemite on Virtual Box. A new version of Mac OS X with code name Sierra has been just published therefore I would like to update my post for installing this new version on Virtual Box with the host of Windows 10.

1. Download pre-installed VirtualBox image from following link.
Mirror 1:

Step 6: Install Sierra. Insert sierra.iso to the sierra VM’s optical driver, and follow the instruction to install Sierra. Note: In the installer, Go to Utilities Disk Utility. Select the VirtualBox disk and choose Erase to format it as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive. Step 7: Remove sierra. Is it possible to install or run Mac OS Sierra on Virtualbox? Well, personally I will answer this question with confident. YES, you can run Mac OS X Sierra on Virtualbox installed on Windows 10 for example. With few simple steps, you will be able to run Mac OS Sierra on Windows. On this tutorial, you will learn how to do this. Download MacOS High Sierra VMDK. You have to get macOS High Sierra VMDK in the link supplied. Step #5 Install macOS Sierra on VirtualBox. John March 1, 2017 at 10:38 AM Reply. I had the same problem. Firstly at step 3.3 click on browse and find the vmdk file you downloaded and extracted, select this. At step 4 add a step 4.5 Edit settings, storage, select Sata.

For mirror 2, use HjSplit to join the files back. It’s about 5GB. HjSplit is also in Google Drive folder.

2. Extract macOS 10.12 Sierra by TechReviews.rar file to a folder, you’ll get a list of these files

3. In VirtualBox, create a new machine with following settings

4. For Hard drive, browse to macOS 10.12 Sierra by TechReviews.rar file which can be found in extract folder before.

5. Click Create. Right click on the new machine and select Settings. Be sure that Floppy Disk is disabled.

6. Set number of processors to the max of real processors you have, it’ll speed up the installation. I have a dual core so I set the number of processors to 2.

7. In Display settings, set Video Memory to max 128MB.

7+. Start your cmd and execute following code. Please adjust the script with your installation path of your VirtualBox and the name of your virtual machine (in my case it is macOS Sierra)

8. Start your machine. It will take a while depending on the power of your real CPU and hard disk to set up the installation process.

9. When boot finishes, you should land on the welcome screen for setting up Mac OS X. The following images show my sample settings, you can change them if you want.

10. Create account takes a while. Just wait until you’re forwarded to the login screen.

11. Login with your new created account. You’ll be asked for some more settings before going to the main screen of Mac OS X.

12. Done. Enjoy your hackintosh.
