WELCOME…………..
Pre-Requisite:
Windows OS:10/8.1/8/7 [Only and ONLY 64 Bit OS is supported]
RAM: 4 GB+ [Please do not try installing MAC OS X if you have less than 4 GB RAM. The Virtual OS will simply crawl.
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core/i3/i5/i7/Celeron [AMD ATHLON PROCESSOR IS NOT SUPPORTED NORMALLY, THERE ARE WAYS, HOWEVER THOSE ARE ONLY FOR GEEKS]
Free Hard Disk: 40 GB for MAC OS X and another 2 GB for needful software. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE 40 GB IN C:/ DRIVE.
Note:
1. Actually later you will understand that the location you will choose for the virtual machines virtual RAM will need maximum 8 GB space. [THOUGH THIS DEPENDS UPON HOW MUCH RAM YOU ALLOCATE FOR MAC OS X – HERE I ASSUME YOU WILL MAX ALLOCATE 4 GB RAM TO MAC OS X]
2. Also the OS X 10.11 El Capitan Retail (VMWare virtual disk file with .vmdk extension) file size is 9.64 GB. THIS IS YOUR MAC OS X HARD DISK. WITH TIME WHEN YOU WILL UPDATE YOUR MAC OS X FROM VERSION 10.11 TO 10.11.5 (Latest as of June 2016) THIS FILE SIZE WILL INCREASE.ALSO WITH TIME IF YOU PLAN TO INSTALL MAC SOFTWARES THIS WILL GET LARGER AND LARGER UP TO 83 GB (MAXIMUM LIMIT).
So in brief:
MAC OS Hard Disk without update to 10.11.5 & 4 GB virtual MAC RAM=25 GB will do.
MAC OS Hard Disk with update to 10.11.5 & 4 GB virtual MAC RAM=30 GB will do.
MAC OS Hard Disk with update to 10.11.5 & 4 GB virtual MAC RAM + Software > 40 GB needed.
HOWEVER, THE MAC HARD DISKS LIMITATION IS 80 GB.
IF YOU ARE NEWBIE TO MAC OS X THEN IT IS SAFER FOR YOU TO CHOOSE ONE OF YOUR WINDOWS PARTITION WHERE YOU CAN CREATE FOLDER/S OF ATLEAST 40 GB SIZE.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHOOSEN WINDOWS PARTITION WILL NOT BE DELETED OR FORMATED.
NOTE THAT WE HAVE INCLUDED BOTH VMWARE WORKSATION 12 PRO & VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PLAYER – THE NON-COMMERCIAL FREE VERSION OF VMWARE WORKSTATION PRO.
THOUGH THE PRO VERSION IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN THE PLAYER VERSION, IF YOUR OBJECTIVE IS ONLY TO VIRTUALIZE THE MAC OS X OPERATING SYSTEM – IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PLAYER WHICH CONSUMES LESS SYSTEM MEMORY BUT YIELDS THE SAME RESULT FOR VIRTUALIZING MAC OS X – EL CAPITAN.
El Capitan 10.11.6 Update Problems
VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PRO IS REALLY A RAM CONSUMING SOFTWARE. UNLESS YOU HAVE PLENTY OF RAM FOR YOUR WINDOWS AND VIRTUAL MAC OS X IT IS RECOMMENDED TO GO FOR VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PLAYER.
