Hi Gulam ,
I’ve installed Mojave 10.14.4 on Vmware workstation pro 15.1.0,Win 10, via a .vmdk file, for download and using Garageband specially ,instead of working on it in my ipad ,…but long story short , it doesn’t work properly ,so now I need to try the mentioned method ,
1- do I need to redownload mac mojave , this time the installer one, or is there a way to convert .vmdk to dwg or iso file to creatie the bootable USB ?
2- is it functional to dual boot on one drive , while Win 10 is installed on it ?
Why my unibeast doesn’t moving when copying file
I leave it for 4 hours but still no changes
Is th problem comes from my flash drive or permission on virtual machine? (I’m using virtual box)
Hi,
This happens because of the USB flash drive. Epically if it is USB 2.0.
Most USBs created on a VM do not work.
Hi john
I have no idea but every time I have tried the VM it worked 100% fine.
Hi Ghulam,
how to install Mojave on the HyperV virtual machine?
So far as I know, you can’t. Hyper-V is a type-1 hypervisor, which means VMs running under it run closer to the metal. This provides performance benefits over other virtualization types.
What part of this tutorial was Windows 10?
You didn’t get the point. You can create bootable USB for macOS Mojave on windows 10 with Virtual Machine. First, you have to Install macOS on the VMware or VirtualBox then start creating bootable USB.
