In the second command, you need to replace the N with a number from one to five, depending on what resolution you want: You need to run the following two commands: cd "C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox" VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode" N Shut down your Virtual Machine by shutting down macOS: click the Apple in the menu bar, then click “Shut Down.” Next, close VirtualBox entirely (seriously, this step will not work if VirtualBox is still open!) and head back to Windows’ Command Prompt as an admin. It’s normal, even some of the things that look like errors. You will see a lot of superfluous information as this happens-and I mean a lot-but don’t worry about it. Re-open VirtualBox, click your Sierra machine, then click “Start.” Your machine will start to boot. If the command did not work, make sure your virtual machine is named “High Sierra” exactly if it isn’t, edit the commands above putting your machine’s name in the quotes. That’s it! If everything worked, you shouldn’t see any feedback the commands will simply run. Paste the following commands, pressing Enter after each one and waiting for it to complete: cd "C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox" VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "High Sierra" -cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 04100800 7fbae3ff bfebfbff VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "MacBookPro11,3" VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0" VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Mac-2BD1B31983FE1663" VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" VBoxManage setextradata "High Sierra" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1 You need to run a number commands, in order. Open the Start Menu, search for “Command Prompt,” then right-click it and select “Run as administrator.” Borrow a friend’s Mac for an hour if you don’t have one, and you should be fine-everything beyond step one of this tutorial can be done on your Windows PC.

You could, we suppose, obtain a High Sierra ISO by other means, but we don’t recommend it. NOTE: In order to get this working, you will need access to a real Mac in order to download High Sierra.

Other than that, though, this is macOS High Sierra, running smoothly in VirtualBox. The only thing not working is sound, which for some reason is highly distorted or nonexistent. Some of the folks at the InsanelyMac forums have figured out a process that works. We haven’t yet tested it ourselves, but we’ve heard good things. It promises to take you through the process of installing and setting up a macOS virtual machine.
