macOS 11.0 Big Sur VMware Image – VMDK File for Windows
System Requirements to run Big Sur on VMware
This pre-installed VMware image created with 4GB RAM, but you have the option to customize it before switching on. If you have enough hardware resources on your physical computer, allocate it according to the following configuration.
- 4 Processor cores
- 8GB RAM (4GB Minimum)
- Keep the virtual machine files in SSD disk
- VMware workstation/VM Player
- VT-Enabled Desktop or laptop
- VMware unlocker
Why Use the Pre-installed image of Big Sur macOS 11.0
Installation of macOS on non-Apple hardware is not an easy task. You must have a working Mac computer to download the Operating System from Apple’s App Store. Once downloaded, there are a few complicated steps involved in making those DMG Apple files bootable in normal X86 platform including VMware. We need to create a bootable ISO file from a Mac computer. This may be not viable for all users.
After that, there are still more settings and tweaks that must be done within the VMware virtual machine configuration to boot the ISO file in VMware to proceed with the installation. After waiting for several minutes for the installation, the VMware tools should be installed.
Altogether, it is a lengthy procedure. More than the time-consuming job, it may be not possible for everyone if you do not have an Apple physical computer or an already working macOS virtual machine.
To overcome these all issues, and save your time, you can simply use the pre-installed image to download, import to VMware Workstation or Player, and use it on your Windows computer.
Steps to Download and Use macOS 11.0 Big Sur VMware Preinstalled VMware image
Here is the quick recap of the steps we will be doing to install macOS 11.0 Big Sur on Windows OS by pre-installed VMware VMDK file.
Download the Sysprobs pre-installed VMware image and extract it.
Keep your VMware workstation or player updated.
Unlock the VMware
Import the VMware VMX file from the extracted location and use the macOS 11.0 virtual machine. Enjoy!
Detailed Steps
1) Download the pre-installed VMware image below. It is a torrent file, properly created by me. Please allow seeding for some time after downloading. It is around 17GB in 7z format.
This file contains the Big Sur VMDK disk file and configuration file.
2) Extract the pre-installed image by using 7-Zip or Win RAR. The output will be will around 23GB. This VM is configured for 100GB disk space. So, make sure you have enough free space at the place where you are extracting.
3) Make sure you have the latest VMware workstation or player.
4) Unlock VMware workstation to support macOS as guest OS.
This is a critical step to complete. Apple doesn’t support to virtualize their OS on non-Apple hardware (but it can be done on Apple devices). Using this unlocker, we are making the VMware workstation support macOS VM.
Download the latest version of Unlocker from the developer page here.
Read our guide about how to use the VMware unlocker on Windows 10.
The successful unlock shall give you the below option when you try to create a new VM. This is just for confirmation only. Do not create any new VM in this case.
5) Now open the VMX file from the extracted location. This will open the virtual machine settings.
6) Here you can customize the hardware settings based on the power of your physical computer. If you can assign more processor cores and RAM, it will boost the performance of VM dramatically. I’m satisfied with my 4GB and 4 core processor.
7) Power of the VM now.
You may get the below message since this VM is made from other computer location. Click on the “I Copied It” option.
8) The macOS 11.0 Big Sur VM will ask for a password to log in. This preinstalled image has the account name “Sysprobs” and the password is “sysprobs123”.
9) You must land on the desktop without any issues.
10) I highly recommend taking a snapshot before proceeding to any additional steps.
