Note: You must use VMWare Workstation for Windows, on Windows. VMware Workstation will need to be patched (unlocked), to be able to run Mac OS X Mavericks. Your adventure with VMWare Workstation, starts here. You’ll see in the video (and downloaded files) that earlier versions of VMWare Workstation are also supported. I am running VMWare Workstation 10.0.1 at the time of writing. The 30 day trial is completely unrestricted and works perfectly fine. There is a video on the blog post, Watch It And Pay Attention! Your adventure with VMWare Workstation and OSX Mavericks, starts here. I ended up a little off course, but to get Apple OS X Mavericks, I downloaded a VMWare Virtual Machine image with Mac OS X Mavericks already installed. Thankfully, I was able to restore from a Time Machine backup. Why couldn’t I update? My 10.3 SL machine, has an Intel atom processor that is no longer supported in newer releases of Mac OS X. To get the installation media from Apple, you need an existing Mac with at least Mac OS X 10.6 and AppStore installed. Back up all data and proceed at your own risk. It comes with absolutely no warranty of any kind and I do not accept any responsibility at all, regardless of you following my instructions to the letter or not, if this results negatively for you in some way.
Not much of this post actually pertains to the fact that I installed Mac OS X Mavericks on a Toshiba Laptop, it’s more that I couldn’t find many posts that mentioned any type of PC or laptop, so I figured there had to be others like me out there, possibly with a Toshiba laptop, trying to install Mac OS X Mavericks on it. Obviously I wasn’t working on it for three weeks night and day, but I did spend a fair amount of time to get to the configuration I am using to write this very post.
VMWARE INSTALL MAC OS X MAVERICKS FOR FREE
Mainly because Apple had released it for free (are you coming to the show, Microsoft?) and my old Snow Leopard OS X computer was starting to get… well, long in the tooth 😉Īs I said, three weeks. Over the past three weeks, I have spent considerable time trying to get Apple’s latest Mac OS X offering (Mavericks) working on non-apple hardware.
