  • And VMware does not allow that? I wouldn't be surprised by the way if things don't work — OS X may not be virtualized on non-Apple hardware.

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the use of macOS on non-Apple hardware is a legal grey area and as a result "Hackintosh" questions have been deemed off-topic. [recently flagged by someone on Ask Different, so I'm tidying up]

  • @Tetsujin If OP were running a macOS VM on Mac hardware, it'd be another matter, but since this is clearly not the case, I'll second that recommendation.
