Installing OS X with Virtualbox on Windows is more difficult than doing it with VMWare Fusion in OS X, because Windows virtualization programs do not 'officially' support Mac OS X. NOTE: The following guide is for installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard only, because it uses the same method that I use for my standard Snow Leopard installation guide.įor this virtual machine, we're going to use Virtualbox, which is a free and open-source virtualization suite. Virtualbox is a virtualization suite that works for Windows- installing Mac OS X on a virtual machine in Windows before doing it on your actual computer is great practice, and it gives you a chance to determine whether you'd actually prefer OS X over Windows.
If you need help deciding whether to make that leap of faith, then you can try installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Virtualbox, instead.
We've already covered how to run a Mac OS X virtual machine with VMWare Fusion on your Hackintosh, but that tutorial won't do you much good if you haven't installed Mac OS X on your PC yet.
