If you do run into issues, you should use a Mac or a computer with an Intel CPU to follow this guide. Then the microSD gets erased/repurposed after the install.If you are using a computer with an AMD Ryzen CPU, you will likely run into issues. When I have to, I lookup the make-bootable-installer-media instructions and put it on a Micro SD card.

Honestly as a Mac user I don't really install OSX that often. I haven't tested this last trick yet because it's too time-consuming and with virtualization, currently, there are almost no benefits for 90% of uses (except music production for example).įirst you need to make sure you're not using an old installer, as the certificates have expired. If it is to boot on a PC, you must add a custom clover Bootloader ( On ISO ?! On Additional partition ?! On IMG/BIN ?! ) in Ventoy. To boot you must follow the official Apple procedure and choose the desired partition in the boot manager.

It is necessary to calculate the size of the partitions skillfully to save space (or resize with Gparted per example but it's longer).įor example MacOS Bigsur takes 14.5GB, MacOS Monterey takes 13.5GB etc. Your partition table must be in GPT with the 'Ventoy EFI' boot partition at the beginning, the 'Ventoy' partition in NTFS, exFAT or FAT32 and your MacOS partitions in HFS+ Journaled.Īn additional partition for a single version, 2 partitions for 2 versions etc. With VMware player you can't create create VM ! Use MacOS baremetal or VMware Workstation (30 days free) or VMware Player (free) with unlocker for this. Moreover, I think, it can create compatibility problems (this is only my opinion).The solution that I found, and that I could verify, is to create other partitions with MacOS Installer. To my knowledge (so it's relative) there is no official solution with Ventoy.
