Running macOS in a virtual machine is pretty straightforward when doing this on a Mac that is running macOS already as it is easy to get your hands on the installation files. When you want to do this on a x86-based Windows machine it gets a bit more complicated but that is exactly what I will cover in this post. Using a virtual machine with macOS allows you to experiment and play around with different versions of macOS itself without the need for real Apple hardware. It also allows you to have an environment to troubleshoot and diagnose issues with real Mac hardware when you no longer have a working macOS-based machine available.
