Hey everyone. I would like to run MacOS on my unused laptop which has a Core i7-8550U processor 16 Gb of ram and INTEGRATED GRAPHICS(UHD Graphics 620) and i dont want to remove windows . my first question is will it work on such low(kinda) specs and is removing windows necessary . Also I dont have any friend who has a mac so if anyone could tell how to get it without a macbook.

 LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ANSWERS

I don't think you will have a good experience with integrated graphics under MacOS.

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

Okay so a few points on this.

 

1.  You won't be able to run it like they did in the LTT video.

2.  You should be able to run it as a standard VM in VirtualBox without using direct pass-through and QEMU (I believe that CPU supports virtualisation).

3.  No you do not have to remove Windows for this (as the requirement for Linux in the video is part of the pass-through and QEMU requirements).

4.  Having gone through that, if you are happy to run MacOS as VM without pass-through, you should be able to find VM-ready images for download and so will not need access to an actual physical Mac.

Yes my Cpu supports virualisation and if we could run it directly in VirualBox so we can do it in windows as well bcoz Virtual Boxes (like oracle) are available on windows as well

Hey gang, I got to the part where I install MacOS in virtual machine manager but I'm getting this message within Virtual machine manager "graphical console not configured for guest"  So I can't see whats going on.  Anyone else facing this?

you need to set up your graphics throughput settings in the VM.
