MAC OS Image file

Post by Disp350 »

I have downloaded OS 12 & 13 through the App store. When I try to set up a MAC VM (on my MAC with an M1), what image file should I be using?

Better question might be, "What Mac should I be using?" :D

Please see M1/M2 Mac 7.0 Beta Status. It is highly unlikely that any modern Intel-code OS will run in the 7.0 M1 Beta.

You'd do better on an Intel-based Mac. When you do get one, see the stickies in Mac Guests for making install media.

Thanks very kindly for the info. I wish I did have access to an intel-based device, but my company always loves latest and greatest. Guess I'll have to be patient and wait for it to be supported.

Thanks again.

M1/M2 is not latest, there have been plenty of Intel or AMD CPUs since then. Greatest is a matter of taste - or marketing.
