But it doesn’t mean that other Operating Systems are not Good. If you are planning to switch from Windows to Mac, then maybe you are looking for a way, to try Mac OS. Or maybe you want to use some mac software, which isn’t available for Windows. Whatever your reason is, at the end, you want to run Mac on Windows.

The first time, when I thought to install MacOS on Windows, First thing that came to my mind was – Is it possible?. Officially Apple doesn’t provide any ISO file of Mac OS, But you can get it from some third-party sites. There are two ways to install and run MacOS on Windows PC.

In the extracted folder, you will find the Mac Os Transformation Pack. Double-click on it to launch the installer. A window will appear, Leave the drop down menus to their default, tick the check boxes and click on Install. The installation process will take quite some time. Oct 15, 2017 In this tutorial, I will show you how you can Install, Configure and run MAC OS X 10.11 El Captain, Yosemite 10.10, Maverick 10.9 on VMware Workstation 12 inside Windows PC. This is a Simple Guide on How to Install MAC OS X on VMWare Workstation running in a Windows host machine. I run Windows 10 on my Mac Pro, and it runs very well, just like on an equal PC. Some years ago, running it on a MacBook Pro, it played well on the speed side, but the machine was heating a little more than with Mac OS.

IMPORTANT – Before you try any method, the first thing you should know that – Apple’s license for macOS, not allows it to be installed on the non-apple hardware.

First Method – Build a Hackintosh.

What is Hackintosh?.

A Hackintosh is a non-apple hardware, that act like Apple hardware and made to run macOS. It could be manufacture made, or can be built computer personally.

After setting up hardware, the next thing is – Create a bootable drive to install Mac OS.

Note: But you can create bootable drive only using MacOS, with the help of UniBeast. That’s why I don’t prefer this method to run Mac OS on PC.

Second Method – Create MacOS X virtual machine.

This is the best method to run Mac on Windows, you don’t need a Mac or MacOS hardware. And, the best part about creating the virtual machine is, you don’t need to remove your current OS and no external drive required.

What things you”ll need, to run MacOS on Windows PC.

Most of the people in the world have Windows based machine. I also have the same. I am using Windows for about 15 years and I got bored with the same.

Then I thought of using Mac but those are pretty expensive out here. So I was thinking if we can install Windows on any custom build hardware then why can’t OS X? Then I searched about it on internet a lot and I do found a way to do same too but problem is that all the guides of installing OS X on PC are done with the help of Mac. So if I had Mac then why would install it on anything other.

I have gathered information from various guides and tutorials at internet and prepared an easy and simple method to install OS X on Windows PC without the help of Mac. So follow the guide below if you want to create a hackintosh system.

Note: All the processes can even damage your hardware so be careful and do it on your own risk. Installing Mac OS X on other hardware is against company’s policy unless you bought a retail DVD for the same.
