Hey guys welcome back this is Bernardo from the BTNHD and yes I'm super excited about
this video, as you know, Apple released a new operating system the mac os 11, and I
needed to get into the lab and create a virtual machine, because I don't want to use my physical
Mac laptops or my iMac because I use it for my day to day workflow to edit and do all
that stuff, so I needed to find a way to actually install this operating system into a virtual
environment to do some testing.
So I'll show you guys how I did it.
so the first thing that we need to do is we need to grab that installation file.
So I am part of the apple seed program, so I needed to download the Mac OS customer beta
access utility.
I clicked on it.
I clicked on allow it downloaded, bam, I double clicked on the dmg and started opening up
and launched up I double click on the package file package file loaded up, I continue.
Click Continue.
I agreed, hit install I entered my password and then I clicked on install software.
If you give me some time your system preferences will open up and take you directly to your
software update just be patient, eventually everything's going to change on your left
hand side you're going to see that you're this MAC is enrolled in the apple customer
seed program, and you're going to see 10 point 16, right click on upgrade now, it's going
to start downloading the upgrade it's about 10 gigs in size so it's pretty big.
And once it's completed, you're going to get this it's going to launch up so you can start
installing.
So follow the prompts continue.
Agree, Agree.
And then Okay, I'm going to select my hard drive to install and upgrade my current operating
system to Mac OS 11.
So when I clicked on it.
I got this error.
The operation couldn't be completed.
BIErrorDomain error 3.
I'm scratching my head like what a lot of people have been having issues with this,
most likely people that are trying to virtualize this Mac OS into fusion, or parallels.
And I was having the same issues with VMware Workstation so I'm gonna show you guys how
to get it working within VMware Workstation 15.5 because that is what I'm using.
So first thing that we need to do is completely shut down your virtual machine, then locate
the VMX file of that virtual machine.
So my VMX file is actually located within documents, virtual machines and the name of
the virtual machine.
And there goes the VMX i actually right click on the VMX file and I open it within notepad
and I went all the way to the bottom.
Now there's three attributes that you need to add one you need to add the SM BIOS dot
reflect host and assign it to true.
You need to do hw model and assign it to MacBook Pro 15 comma one.
Now you don't really need to assign MacBook Pro 15 you can actually assign it to a MacBook
Pro 16 comma one, and the board ID is equal to Mac dash and a number.
Now I'm going to show you guys how I got the model and the board ID.
I actually took one of my Mac laptops and I opened up the terminal and I ran the following
commands.
That is how I got the model, and as well as the board ID so I actually use the board ID
of a physical laptop, a physical Apple laptop, so that's the board ID that I use within that
file.
Once you make those changes, save the file, start up the virtual machine cross your fingers
make sure it's loading up and automatically I knew it worked.
Why, because the install option was enabled.
It was highlighted.
So that's a good thing.
Awesome, so I clicked on install.
I got this little prompt right here added my password.
I clicked on Add helper.
It started doing this thing and I got the nice little loading bar three minutes remaining
and rebooted to this.
This process kind of freaked me out because it was there for a good minute, and eventually
this loaded up I was like yes and then this popped up Yes, when I came back to the machine.
It was right here, I needed a login so I entered my password, and I logged in with no problem
I'm super excited and a couple of things that caught my eye was the dock looks like it's
been changed.
A couple of the icons at the upper right corner has changed.
When you click on the apple, the sub menu looks more round around the corners.
So, I know automatically that told me Yes, it worked.
so when I clicked on About This Mac.
I got the nice Hallelujah, that it was on Mac OS version 11.0 awesome super excited.
And I said, that is how I got the Mac OS version 11 or version 10 point 16 whichever one Apple
decides to pick, and I'm super excited because I'm start testing this stuff out for you guys
