Attempting to run Windows 11 on Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2 via VirtualBox... Critical Error (guru meditation)!

Post by lutherwaffles »

Good evening, all.

My name is Luther, and I am trying to utilize VirtualBox on my Macbook Pro (M1 chip). I am on Ventura 13.5.2., and based on the guidance provided on ticket #21563 (albeit related to Ventura 13.3), I tried to install the latest VirtualBox I could find ("VirtualBox-7.0.13_BETA4-160260-macOSArm64").

Using this + the proper ISO from Microsoft, I tried to launch Windows 11.

I allocated 8192MB of memory, and I *thought* 6 cores (out of 20; but with the machine in "Powered off," it is showing that the Processors bar is grayed out and the CPU count is 1, not the previously-configured 6).

I've attached the "VBox.log" and the "VBox.png" from the latest attempt (and subsequent crash) if they are of any use. Frankly, I don't know what I'm looking at, so I'm hoping that someone here can help.

So, to summarize:
1. The problem: I am experiencing a "Critical Error" within the guru meditation modal. I never get past the Windows logo/icon.
2. The goal: To run Windows 11 Pro within the aforementioned VirtualBox version (or any other version, so long as it works! Haha).

Thank you all for your time!

You can't run a modern OS on the VirtualBox ARM beta.

Nor can you configure more than 1 core.

Please read the sticky topic at the top of the MacOS Hosts forum.
