Run a Mac OS in Hyper V

**akimba** · 13th January 2015

I need to run a mac up in Hyper V to do some testing of an application before I give it to the end user.

Anyone got any pointers on doing this?

You can get images from some of the Torrent sites that work in VMware Workstation or ESXi - I've not heard of any success stories in Hyper-V though

I managed to do it a microserver that was running 2008 r2 and then running virtual box to run the vm. I used one of the niresh images for it to work, was a little slow. If you have some apple hardware it is easier to do.

I seen intel Mac images on torrents so I guess these are the ones I should try, can put VM workstation on if a better option.

Thanks ;-)

hi there
the last time I checked (3+ years ago), running OSX inside Hyper-V was a big no no from Microsoft. I don't believe you can get a VM of OSX unless you are running VMWare or Parallels

hope this helps
