Steps to Install macOS Mojave on VMware 15 on AMD computer
Step 1. Download required files
In order to be able to install macOS Mojave on VMware on AMD processor on Windows 10, you will need the following software
- VMware Player 15.0.4–I know it’s a bit outdated but it works very well and it is free for personal use
- Unlocker — to unlock and enable VMware to create macOS virtual machine on Windows.
- Darwin.iso – to install VMware Tools (in case the standard VMware Tools does not work)
Step 2. Install VMware Player
Using the link I provide above, install the VMware Player 15.0.4. If you have VMware Workstation, you can skip this step. This method also works on VMware Workstation.
