However, such cross-platform support is not available on a PC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you want to develop your iOS app on Xcode, using apps like Final Cut Pro or iMovie which only comes on Mac OS, you need to buy an expensive Apple MacBook. It is not possible to install the macOS natively on a Windows computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Run macOS on Windows 10 in a Virtual Machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, it is possible to circumvent such technical difficulties by using a virtual machine software emulator. This essentially tricks the macOS into thinking it is operating on Mac hardware. It is the best alternate solution to this installing macOS on your Windows computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn how to run Mac OS X on a Windows 10 PC to increase productivity and enable your computer to run programs for both software platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Download Mac OS ISO Image file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you are on a Windows PC, you don\u2019t have access to Apple Store to download Mac OS. You need to download Mac OS from an external trusted source. You can download the latest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/macos-catalina-10-15-iso-dmg-image\/\">Mac OS Catalina 10.15<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/macos-mojave-10-14-download\/\">Mac OS Mojave 10.14<\/a>\u00a0Installer files from our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Download Virtual Machine for Windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various free Virtual Machine software available for Windows such as Oracle\u2019s <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualbox.org\/wiki\/Downloads\" target=\"_blank\">VirtualBox<\/a>. But I recommend using VMware Workstation Pro, although it\u2019s a paid software, but you can use it free for 30 days trial. You can download VMware Workstation Pro 15 from this <a href=\"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/vmware-workstation-free-download\/\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Install VMware Patch to run Mac OS X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Go to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/paolo-projects\/unlocker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">VMware macOS Unlocker<\/a>\u00a0page to download.\u00a0Click the\u00a0<strong>Clone or download<\/strong>\u00a0button, then click\u00a0<strong>Download ZIP<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Power off all virtual machines running and exit VMware.<\/li><li>Extract the downloaded\u00a0<strong>.zip<\/strong>\u00a0file in\u00a0<strong>step 1<\/strong>.<\/li><li>On Windows, right-click on the\u00a0<strong>win-install.cmd<\/strong>\u00a0file and select\u00a0<strong>Run as Administrator<\/strong>\u00a0to unlock.\u00a0Also, run win-update-tools.cmd for VMware tools for macOS.<\/li><li>After the unlock process is complete, run VMware to create the macOS virtual machine.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Create an Apple Mac OS Virtual Machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Click\u00a0File, select\u00a0New Virtual Machine\u2026<\/li><li>Select\u00a0Typical (recommended)\u00a0and click\u00a0Next.<\/li><li>Select\u00a0I will install the operating system later.\u00a0and click\u00a0Next.<\/li><li>Select\u00a0Apple Mac OS X\u00a0in the\u00a0Guest operating system\u00a0section and select\u00a0macOS 10.14\u00a0in the\u00a0Version\u00a0section.

Also, I would recommend assigning a minimum of 4GB RAM and 40GB of Hard Disk to your Virtual Machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Easiest Way to Run Mac Software on Windows PC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4700"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/windowslay.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
