Hey, i have an issue. Once the update to sonoma is done bluetooth doesn't work anymore. It turns on but no device is shown in "nearby device". I set up a bluetooth connection through a tp link bluetooth usb
This is the only way that worked for me everything flawless, only problem i get is half way through the upgrade to sonoma when mac restarts i get a your computer restarted because of a problem error i tried upgrading also to ventura and get the same error, anyone got any idea?
Wonderful job done, I have followed these instructions and managed to run the 1st VM of macOS on my Windows 10 desktop. One question, is the GPU on the host machine ( mine 6750xt) accessible for the VM ? Should I do some configuration ? Thanks!
As far as I know you can't fully use the card in the VM. You can try to enable 3D acceleration in the VM settings but in my experience that did not improve graphical performance
Hi Sir, It was a great video. I have tried all the steps that you mentioned in the video and in the last I turned on the virtual machine I got the below error. "Your computer restarted with the problem occurred"
Hi, good job, step by step Tutorial is very perfect ,but I have deleted the 2Gb Catalina drive file and now my Sonoma is very slow and hardly respond please how can I downgrade the OS ?
Love the video, excellent and easy to follow, but when I try to patch VMWare Workstation with Auto-Unlocker 2.0.1 it keeps telling me there is an error and it cannot open vmwarebase.dll I have checked and the file exists, I also gave the SYSTEM full administrative rights over the file in its properties. I tried running Auto-Unlocker as an Admin, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

I think this is related to a change since VMware Workstation where it will try to use Hyper-V under the hood to do the virtualization if that is enabled on your Windows install. If your CPU is too old to support that you will probably get that message. You can disable Hyper-V in windows as follows: 1) Open a command prompt as Administrator 2) Run: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off 3) Reboot your Windows host To re-enable it, just repeat the same but use the following instead: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

@@sva9629 this means that you probably made a mistake while editing the VM file. Best to double-check the lines you edited. Likely you forgot a closing double-quote or something similar.
As explained in the video, Apple changed the format in which you can download newer OS-images (releases after Catalina) which makes it hard (or even impossible) to make bootable/usable from a Windows machine. The same problem exists to create bootable media (like a USB drive for example) to do a clean install on a real/physical Mac. Honestly I don't understand why Apple doesn't release a tool to create a bootable USB drive for macOS installation for Windows. But Microsoft doesn't make it easy the other way around either.

Best and of course the most perfect tutorial I’ve ever seen about anything in my life 😅 keep up the good work. Hope your page get to a million soon 🎉
This is the only and worked VIdeo to this topic i found so far. And I searched a lot. Thank you so much.
Glad to hear it worked. Thanks for the nice feedback :)
hope it work for me too.
Amazing demonstration. I would love to try it when I have time. Thank you for your video !
You are a genius, bro. All work goes smoothly. Can you try for ChromeOS and give us an exclusive tutorial, please?

There’s a setting to change the vm resolution. Make sure virtual machine is shut down and your in the cli to make the correct command

Set reflectHost = "TRUE" to Pass Host Hardware Information
I cannot progress in the Catalina setup, because it doesnt detect my mouse and keyboard.
Hi Sir,
It was a great video.
I have tried all the steps that you mentioned in the video and in the last I turned on the virtual machine I got the below error.
"Your computer restarted with the problem occurred"
Its normal procedure where you are made to work harder without getting sound and increase the resolution.
Nice video
Thanks

Will it work on an AMD CPU?
Cuando ejecuto la maquina virtual, me sale un aviso que dice: The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine
Change virtualHW.version = "21" to the value 10
Why am I receiving this error message "The processor does not support XSAVE. This virtual machine cannot be powered on." :(
I think this is related to a change since VMware Workstation where it will try to use Hyper-V under the hood to do the virtualization if that is enabled on your Windows install.
If your CPU is too old to support that you will probably get that message.
You can disable Hyper-V in windows as follows:
1) Open a command prompt as Administrator

3) Reboot your Windows host
To re-enable it, just repeat the same but use the following instead: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
