How to Install and Run macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox 7

 

Installing and running macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox can be a great way to test out the latest version of the operating system without committing to a full installation on your physical machine. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Download and install the latest version of VirtualBox from the official website.
2. Create a new virtual machine in VirtualBox. Set the name and type to "Mac OS X" and the version to "macOS 10.15 Catalina."
3. Allocate at least 2GB of RAM and 20GB of storage to the virtual machine.
4. Download the macOS Big Sur installer from the App Store.
5. In the VirtualBox manager, click on the new virtual machine and select "Settings."
6. Go to the "Storage" tab and click on the empty disk under "Controller: IDE."
7. Select "Add IDE Hard Disk" and choose the option to "Create a virtual hard disk now."
8. In the "Create New Virtual Disk" window, select "VMDK" as the file type and "Dynamically Allocated" as the storage type. Allocate at least 20GB of storage.
9. Click on the new virtual disk under "Controller: IDE" and select "Choose a virtual disk file."
10. Navigate to the macOS Big Sur installer file and select it.
11. Start the virtual machine and follow the on-screen instructions to install macOS Big Sur.
12. Once the installation is complete, you can boot into the virtual machine and start using macOS Big Sur.

Note that running macOS on VirtualBox may not provide the same performance as running it on a physical machine, and some features may not work properly. However, it can still be a useful way to test out the operating system and see if it meets your needs.
