- Need a way to download the install cd from Apple’s store
I got an xcloud for a month – could have used macincloud
- download High Sierra from the app store on the mac
- Create virtualbox image
I Had to go for generic Mac OSX 64 bit, not the specific High Sierra one !!
VBoxManage modifyvm Sierra --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff
