Windows, macOS – which one do you want to use today? On a traditional setup, you're stuck with one or the other. But with virtual box, you actually have macOS on a Windows PC.

It's the freedom that computer users have enjoyed with Linux and other operating systems.

But Apple has made it difficult to install their operating system on anything other than their own hardware. All of that is changing, and Virtual Box is responsible for it and the rise of the Hackintosh.

Note: A lot of people will be able to get a mac virtual machine one Windows running smoothly, but sound doesn't seem to work well. That's really not an issue because you'll still be able to access all of your apps and software.

I also recommend that you have access to a real Mac. You might be able to find some distributions of the High Sierra ISO online, but there is always a risk when downloading from an unofficial source. Instead, borrow a Mac from a friend, or use your own and download the High Sierra OS from the App Store.

Everything You Need to Get Started with Installing macOS on VirtualBox

Before we go through the steps on how to install macOS on Virtual Box, let's get everything together that you'll need to get started.

  1. Open up your Mac
  2. Go to the App Store
  3. Type in 'High Sierra'

You'll want to search for your desired operating system (we'll be using High Sierra), and Download it.

Note: You'll need a decent computer to be able to run Virtual Box. Your computer will need to meet these minimum requirements:

  • Dual core processor
  • 4GB Ram or higher
  • 64-bit

If your computer doesn't meet these requirements, you won't be able to run macOS properly. You'll be able to download VirtualBox from the official website. I'm not going to go through the installation process, as the website will have all of the information you need to be able to install VirtualBox.

I do recommend that you read all of the documentation and ask any questions that you have in the community section of the website.

VirtualBox 6.0 was just released, so it's definitely a great time to get started with your own macOS.

Extract macOS Sierra

Make sure you've downloaded High Sierra, and then you'll want to run a few commands from your terminal . You'll be able to open the terminal at: Applications > Utilities > Terminal. Once inside of the terminal, you'll want to run the following commands:

Go to your desktop and rename the file, removing the '.cdr' extension. You need this extension to read '.iso' for it to work properly.

You've successfully created your own ISO file so that you can bootup your macOS.

The next step is to copy the file over to your Windows machine (using a large USB drive seems to work best). This file will be mounted in your virtual machine later on in the article, so it's very important that this step is completed successfully.

Creating a mac Virtual Machine on Windows

Mount Patcher Machine

You'll want to create a virtual machine, and this is really easy. You'll open up VirtualBox and click New. You'll want to have the following parameters selected or entered before clicking Next.

  • Name: High Sierra
  • Type: Mac OS X
  • Version: Mac OS X (64-bit)

Pay attention when selecting the version because you may find that High Sierra is offered as a version when you go to install it. But if it's not, you can just choose the settings I listed above and they should work fine.

You'll then be proceeding through all of the settings.

When you come up to the RAM setting, you'll want to be generous. VirtualBox requires a minimum of 4GB or RAM to run, but the more the better.

Why?

You'll want to provide at least 4GB to your macOS, or 4096MB to be precise. A general rule of thumb is that if you can spare it, supply more RAM to your virtual machine. RAM will allow the operating system to put more information into memory and retrieve it faster.

For better overall performance, supply as much RAM as you can.

The next steps are also important, and they'll include:

  • Hard Disk: Choose the 'Create a virtual hard disk now' setting.
    • Choose VDI when choosing the hard disk type.
    • Choose Fixed Size instead of Dynamic for added speed.
    • Set the size of the drive to at least 25GB.

You'll now have your virtual machine using the RAM and disk space properly, and you'll have to work your way through a few screen prompts before having everything setup properly.

Configuring Your VirtualBox to Run macOS High Sierra

We've made a lot of progress so far, and now it's time to configure your virtual machine properly. You'll see in the main window of VirtualBox that 'High Sierra' is listed. Click on this and then click on the 'Settings' button.

You'll want to go to 'System' and make sure that the following are unchecked on the Motherboard tab:

  • Floppy
  • Network

Click on the Processor tab and make sure that you have 2 or more CPUs set for your virtual machine.

The next few settings are rather simple:

  • Display: Video Memory with a minimum of 128MB
  • Storage: Click 'Empty' and then click on the CD at the top right. Choose your High Sierra ISO file

Now you'll need to click 'Ok,' and save all of the changes you've made. Close out your VirtualBox now.

Apple is very strict on the system that their operating system runs on, so it's very important that you do your best to configure your virtual machine in such a way that it tricks the installer to thinking you're on a retail machine.

We'll now be going into the Windowscommand prompt.

You'll do this by:

  • Clicking the Start Menu
  • Typing 'Command Prompt'
  • Right-clicking on the Command Prompt desktop app
  • Choosing Run as administrator

It's very important to follow all of the following command prompts exactly. Your goal is to run each command, one by one, hitting the Enter button and waiting for the command to complete successfully.

Remember that VirtualBox needs to be closed before running these commands, or it won't work properly.

You have to make sure that the virtual machine is properly named 'High Sierra' for this method to work. If not, you'll be able to go back and make changes to the name to get everything to work properly.

Once all of the commands are completed, and there are no errors, you'll then be able to open up your VirtualBox and get macOS High Sierra installed properly on VirtualBox.

It's a long process, but we're almost done with your installation.

Running VirtualBox and the macOS Installer

You've almost learned how to install macOS on VirtualBox entirely, and we're on the home stretch. You'll want to open up your VirtualBox and then click on your virtual machine that you set up earlier.

Now, click 'Start.'

There will be a lot of information displayed on the screen as everything starts running. I recommend stepping away from the machine and letting it run for a few minutes before coming back. Some errors can hang for 5 minutes or longer.

If you've done everything properly, you can be confident that the installer will boot properly.

You'll eventually be presented with the option to pick a Language. If you've reached this point, you're doing very well and are almost ready to run your macOS.

The next steps can be followed:

  • Choose your desired language, and click
  • Click 'Disk Utility' and then
  • Click 'View' and then 'Show All Devices.'
  • Click on your empty virtual drive that has been setup and click 'Erase.'
  • Choose the following settings:
    • Name: Macintosh HD
    • Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    • Scheme: GUID Partition Map
  • Click 'Erase' and close Disk Utility when the process is complete.
  • Click 'Reinstall macOS.'
  • Click 'Continue.'

You'll come up to one point where you'll be asked to choose a hard drive, and you'll want to select the Macintosh HD partition that you just created with the Disk Utility.

We've successfully copied all of the files on the virtual machine, but we're not done just yet.

Exit your virtual machine and then go back to your virtual machine's settings. You'll need to change up your Storage settings. Click on your ISO for High Sierra in the 'Storage Tree.' You'll click that CD icon just like we did earlier and then choose 'Remove Disk from Virtual Disk.'

You need to do this to unlink the ISO from your virtual machine.

Start up your virtual machine and you should come across a black screen with the EFI Internal Shell. You'll want to look for FS1. If this is listed in yellow, click on the virtual machine and then type fs1: and hit the Enter button.

You should be in the fs1 directory.

Type in the following commands:

  1. cd 'macOS Install Data'
  2. cd 'Locked Files'
  3. cd 'Boot Files'

Now we'll run the installer by running: boot.efi and hitting enter.

If everything goes well, you'll come across a graphical installer and will just have to work through the prompts. The virtual machine will reboot eventually and then you'll need to go through the settings and the rest of the setup process.

Soon enough, you'll be right inside of macOS, where you'll be able to start using your mac virtual machine on Windows.

Having a virtualbox mac OS is the easiest method of using mac as and when you need it. In addition, using virtualbox is far less complicated than the dual boot hackintosh method we have looked at previously.

Whatever your backup or sync scenario, ChronoSync has got you covered!

Direct Connections Between Macs

Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary for you to connect your Mac directly to another Mac to backup or sync files using ChronoSync. Usually, one would only use a direct connection when a network is not available or if you need to achieve the highest possible file transfer speeds. This guide explains various methods to connect a Mac directly to another Mac.

Mount patcher machine

If you are trying to synchronize or backup between two Macs, you only need to install ChronoSync on one of them. The other Mac can be accessed using a variety of techniques, as discussed below. Aside from ChronoSync, no additional software will be required to follow these steps. If you want to realize the maximum potential of your connection, however, consider installing ChronoAgent on the other Mac. ChronoAgent synchronizes files faster, encrypts file transfers, and gives full administrative access to the Mac it is installed on.

The first step is to establish the direct connection between the Macs. There are several options to choose from. The choice you make is often dictated by what ports you have available on your Macs and also what cabling is available to you.

WIRELESS CONNECTIONS [top]

This option will provide the slowest data transfer of all the options but it may be the most convenient. This is because all late model Macs include wireless hardware as do most older models. There's no need to worry about what ports you have or what cables you can find. The way this works is you create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network on one Mac and then join that network on the other Mac. This does not require a Wi-Fi router or any cabling whatsoever.

To configure a direct Wi-Fi connection, open the 'System Preferences' app from the Apple Menu on the Mac that is not running ChronoSync. Click on the 'Network' panel and select 'Wi-Fi' in the network connection services list. Make sure Wi-Fi is ON and enable 'Show Wi-Fi status in the menu bar.'

Now, using the Wi-Fi/Wireless menu bar icon at the top right corner of your screen, choose 'Create Network.'

Customize the network name, if desired, and then click the 'Create' button.

Now it's time to switch over to your ChronoSync Mac and make sure 'Wi-Fi' is enabled by following the above steps. Do not create a network, however. Instead, you should see the name of the network you just created, above, and you'll want to select it.

You have just created an ad-hoc network over the Wi-Fi connection between the two Macs. Now scroll down to the SHARING FILES section of this guide to learn how to actually transfer files over this connection.

Here we present the most common wired connection options. A wired connection between two Macs will provide much faster data transfers than a wireless connection. The problem is that your Macs might not have all — or any — wired interface ports available to it. Even if your Macs do have the required ports, you will need the proper cable to connect them. In a pinch, you may not have the required cables laying around and running to the store to buy them may not be an option. That is why a wired connection is typically not as convenient as wireless.

WIRED: ETHERNET [top]

Most Macs have an Ethernet port available. The Ethernet port looks like this:

Wired Ethernet on modern Macs will provide very fast file transfers — faster than FireWire but slower than Thunderbolt (see below). On older Macs, Ethernet may not be faster than the FireWire option.

To establish a connection, simply plug a standard Ethernet cable between the two Macs. To confirm the connection is working, open the 'System Preferences' app from the Apple Menu on the Mac that is not running ChronoSync. Click on the 'Network' panel and select 'Ethernet' in the network connection services list.

The screen should look something like the above. Note the self-assigned 'IP Address.' Jot this down because you might need it to connect to this computer from the other Mac.

That's it! You're done! You have now created an ad-hoc network over the Ethernet cable between the two Macs. Now scroll down to the SHARING FILES section of this guide to learn how to actually transfer files over this connection.

With the release of macOS 'Mavericks' (10.9), Apple included the ability to directly connect two Macs using a ThunderBolt cable. The Thunderbolt port looks like this:

A Thunderbolt connection will provide the fastest data transfer speeds you can achieve on your Macs — often much faster than your hard drives can keep up with. Older Macs do not have Thunderbolt ports.

Similar to the Ethernet instructions above, just connect a ThunderBolt cable to the ThunderBolt ports on the computers you want to connect. To confirm the connection is working, open the 'System Preferences' app from the Apple Menu on the Mac that is not running ChronoSync. Click on the 'Network' panel and select 'Thunderbolt Bridge' in the network connection services list.

The screen should look something like the above. Note the self-assigned 'IP Address.' Jot this down because you might need it to connect to this computer from the other Mac.

That's it! You're done! You have now created an ad-hoc network over the ThunderBolt cable between the two Macs. Now scroll down to the SHARING FILES section of this guide to learn how to actually transfer files over this connection.

WIRED: FIREWIRE [top]

For Macs that still have FireWire ports, a direct-connection between them is possible using a FireWire Cable. You generally would not choose FireWire over Ethernet or Thunderbolt unless you have older Macs that have slower Ethernet or no Thunderbolt. FireWire will still achieve transfer speeds faster than wireless, however.

The FireWire connectors look like this:


FW800FW400


Just plug a FireWire cable in to the FireWire ports on the computers you want to connect like you would for Ethernet or Thunderbolt. Note that if one computer has a FireWire 800 port and the other has FireWire 400, you will need an adaptor cable to make the connection.

To confirm the connection is working, open the 'System Preferences' app from the Apple Menu on the Mac that is not running ChronoSync. Click on the 'Network' panel and select 'FireWire' in the network connection services list.

The screen should look something like the above. Note the self-assigned 'IP Address.' Jot this down because you might need it to connect to this computer from the other Mac. Now scroll down to the SHARING FILES section of this guide to learn how to actually transfer files over this connection.

You can NOT connect two Macs with a USB cable. However, you can use a USB to ethernet adapter on both Macs. You would only use this method if it was the only choice available.

WIRED: TARGET DISK MODE [top]

There is another method of directly connecting Macs using Firewire or Thunderbolt — it's called Target Disk Mode (TDM). If you power up one of the two computers while holding the 'T' key down, it will appear as a locally attached hard drive on the other Mac. We do not recommend using Target Disk Mode with ChronoSync because this method can lead to file permission changes that leave unexpected and potentially unusable results after syncing files. If you absolutely must use TDM, please contact our support team to discuss all the possible issues first.

Now that you have established a direct connection between your two Macs, the next step is to configure the Macs to share files. This, in turn, will allow you to configure a ChronoSync document to synchronize or backup files between the two computers. This guide will primarily focus on using the built in file sharing capabilities of macOS. However, there is another option — ChronoAgent . Installing ChronoAgent on your second Mac (the one not running ChronoSync) will provide a much more robust and higher performance connection between the two computers. For tips on configuring ChronoAgent, see our guide, Configuring ChronoAgent.

File Sharing is a service built into macOS that allows you to connect to other computers. The following steps explain how to enable file sharing on one computer and then access that computer from another Mac.

You begin by enabling file sharing on the Mac that is not running ChronoSync. Open the 'System Preferences' app from the Apple Menu. Click on the 'Sharing' panel and then click the padlock icon at the lower left. Enter your administrator credentials to allow you to make changes.

In the list of services on the left you should enable the 'File Sharing' option. After doing so, this computer may now be reached by the Mac on the other end of the direct connection. You can choose to setup specific folders that act as share points, but you really don't need to do so as long as you use your administrator name and password when connecting from the other Mac because you will have access to the root hard drive if you do so.

Mount Patcher Mac Os

While you have the 'Sharing' panel open, take the time to make sure that your computer has a name. Most of the time, this has already been set for you. Sometimes, however, it is blank — and that can cause problems! You should also make a note of the IP address presented near the center of the window. You typically will connect by name, but sometimes you'll need to specify an IP address. If you haven't already done so, jot this down now.

Now you will want to switch over to your other computer — the one that is running ChronoSync. Open a new Finder window and look in the sidebar on the left. You may have to scroll down a bit until you see the 'SHARED' group. In that group you should see the name of the computer you are trying to connect to. If you see the computer name, click on it and then click the 'Connect As' button.

While you have the 'Sharing' panel open, take the time to make sure that your computer has a name. Most of the time, this has already been set for you. Sometimes, however, it is blank — and that can cause problems! You should also make a note of the IP address presented near the center of the window. You typically will connect by name, but sometimes you'll need to specify an IP address. If you haven't already done so, jot this down now.

Now you will want to switch over to your other computer — the one that is running ChronoSync. Open a new Finder window and look in the sidebar on the left. You may have to scroll down a bit until you see the 'SHARED' group. In that group you should see the name of the computer you are trying to connect to. If you see the computer name, click on it and then click the 'Connect As' button.

You will be asked to authenticate as a user. You may use the administrator credentials from the other computer (the one not running ChronoSync). If you enable the 'Remember this password in my keychain' option, your credentials will be saved and you won't have to specify them again in order to connect to this Mac. If you don't want that behavior, leave the option unchecked.

If you did not see the computer name you want to connect to in the SHARED group (or you didn't see the SHARED group at all), you will have to connect by IP address. This will likely be the case if you're connecting via Thunderbolt or FireWire. In Finder, type COMMAND-K on the keyboard. Something similar to the following window should appear:

Type in the IP address of the other computer that you are trying to connect to (the one we told you to jot down earlier) and then click 'Connect'. If all goes well, you'll be presented with the authentication dialog.

You will be asked to authenticate as a user. You may use the administrator credentials from the other computer (the one not running ChronoSync). If you enable the 'Remember this password in my keychain' option, your credentials will be saved and you won't have to specify them again in order to connect to this Mac. If you don't want that behavior, leave the option unchecked.

At this point, whether you simply clicked on the computer name in the SHARED group of the Finder sidebar, or you had to connect via COMMAND-K, a file sharing connection should have been established with the other computer. A Finder window will open showing the file system hierarchy of the computer you are connected to.

You may navigate through the folders as if they were stored on your own computer. You are now ready to configure a ChronoSync synchronization or backup operation. Selecting a target folder on the remote Mac is a simple as clicking 'Choose', selecting the computer name from the sidebar, and then navigating to the desired folder.

When you are finished with the connection, click on the eject icon that appears next to the computer's name in the Finder sidebar.

If this is a wired connection, you may now safely disconnect your cables. If this is wireless, you don't need to do anything — or you can turn off Wi-Fi if you so choose.

That's it! You have now completed a direct connection and data transfer between two Macs using ChronoSync and the built-in file sharing!

For most people, the above steps will work flawlessly for establishing a connection and transferring your data. However, we live in an imperfect world and sometimes things just don't work out as expected. If you encounter any problems following this tutorial, here are some tips that may help you get back on track:

From the 'Help' menu in Finder, you can try some of the following search terms (minus the quotes):
'Connect two computers using Ethernet'
'Use IP over Firewire'
'Use IP over ThunderBolt'
'Connect your Mac directly to a Windows computer' (if that is what you're trying to do)
