Before they sent me the link, the VMware tech support person asked me to recite a disclaimer during our phone conversation. VMware tech support advised of availability of a suitable file at this location (hackintosh?). Will this utility create a (dmg) file that VMware Fusion can open and run a macOS High Sierra VM? I have not tried this utility, but am willing to try it – however I would much prefer to hear from someone who has used it successfully before I do. This Q&A has a link to a utility named create_macos_vm_install_dmg which claims to ' prepare macOS installer disk images for use with … VMware Fusion…'. Has anyone else used this file to create a High Sierra VM under VMware Fusion? It was not clear where this was going to be installed, so I abandoned it. However, when opening that file in VMware Fusion, instead of High Sierra, I get what appears to be an installation procedure. I d/l a file named macOSUpdCombo10.13.6.dmg from an Apple support site (don't recall the URL). Consequently, that option seems to be unavailable? dmg file of the HD in my High Sierra Mac using CCCįor reasons I don't understand, my physical MacBook running High Sierra does not have a Recovery partition – perhaps it was not picked up during a previous upgrade to the HDD/SSD. I have contacted VMware technical support, asking basically the same question: How can I create a VM of my MacBook running High Sierra? I have read this Q&A which is related to my question. The MacBook running High Sierra also has VMware Fusion, but it's an old copy that can't be updated any longer. I have a current version (v 11.5.5) of VMware Fusion on my new-ish MacBook running Catalina – this is where I'd like to run my High Sierra VM. I would prefer this VM be created from my existing MacBook running High Sierra (a real, physical device), but that's not essential. I need to create a VM for macOS High Sierra to run with VMware Fusion.

Vmware install mac os x high sierra
