Greetings from CAPS TV. In this video, we will be discussing how to install macOS Big Sur in VMware Workstation 16 in Windows 10.

NOTE: THIS METHOD ONLY WORKS FOR INTEL CPU'S, AMD PROCESSORS WILL NOT WORK.

Make sure to format the drive as macOS extended journaled.

Paste this in the .vmx file:

smc.version = "0"
smbios.reflectHost = "TRUE"
hw.model = "MacBookPro14,3"
board-id = "Mac-551B86E5744E2388"


Common errors:

"The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system"
Mask the CPU. Or enable Virtualization in BIOS.

"Feature 'cpuid.ds' was absent, but must be present."
This is due to a corrupted vmx file: Try using a backup of vmx file or make a new VM and edit the vmx file carefully

"This virtual machine requires AVX2 but AVX is not present. This virtual machine cannot be powered on."
This is due to a corrupted vmx file: Try using a backup of vmx file or make a new vm and edit the vmx file carefully

"Module 'featurecompat' power on failed"
Please check the type of quote marks you use. Most of the time when copy-pasting from the internet, I would get “” , instead of "" .
"BIErrorDomain error 3"
If you encounter this error just add this piece of text to your vmx file
smc.version = "0"
smbios.reflectHost = "TRUE"
hw.model = "MacBookPro14,3"
board-id = "Mac-551B86E5744E2388"
