Please keep in mind that the methods described in this article are not supported nor endorsed by Apple or VMware in any way, so please use at your own risk.īefore we can begin, there are a few tools required to ensure this works flawlessly. Luckily, there is an alternative method for running a Mac-based VM on non-apple hardware-based VMware ESXi and/or VMware Workstation for Windows! In this tutorial, I am going to show you just how to do so. But many of the “Non-Apple” users in the world would not be able to take advantage of this without owning some type of Apple Computer.

**NOTE: This is completely for experimental purposes and is unsupported by both Apple and VMware**
