# macOS on Hyper-V ## Requirements - A recent version of Windows, preferrably Windows 10/Server 2019/11/Server 2022 - Intel CPU. I haven't figure out how to make this working on AMD platform. Generation doesn't matter, I boot it on Tiger Lake H35 just fine. - ~90GB disk space - Some patience ## Prepare macOS Image Big Sur (11.0) works as verified. I haven't checked others. Preferably you should use a Mac to prepare the macOS image, as it saves time doing the online recovery stuff. - Download Big Sur installer from App Store or just [click this link](http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/04/42/002-42341-A_4PL6G0S8GN/cs65avpi1aelh133lc36fy0ste3lihe71n/InstallAssistant.pkg) - Install the `.pkg` (if download from external sources) - Create a 16GB R/W disk image, using GUID partition table and HFS+ file system - Use `createinstallmedia` to prepare the disk image - Use `qemu-img convert -O vhdx -f raw <dmg> <vhdx>` to convert it for Hyper-V use ## Prepare Hyper-V Create a `Generation 2` Virtual Machine, turn off Secure Boot, give it enough memory and vCPUs. Use **only single SCSI controller** because the driver only knows about the first one. You might want to either automatically or manually take snapshots, but that's up to you. Production checkpoints are not supported. ## Prepare OpenCore Read [OpenCore manual](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/prerequisites.html) first. The following section will be supplemental to the manual. Download a set of OpenCore, and apply a set of ACPI patches: [hv-macos-acpi.zip](/microsoft/hv-macos/hv-macos-acpi.zip) (macOS needs standardized ACPI `_HID`, which Hyper-V doesn't have), and apply a Hyper-V specific `config.plist`. Download required KEXTs: [MacHyperVSupport.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/MacHyperVSupport/releases/tag/0.7), [Lilu.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu/releases/tag/1.5.9), [VirtualSMC.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC/releases) (note: no plugin needed), [WhatEverGreen.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/releases/tag/1.5.6) Some explaination: SIP and Secure Bootis disabled, Vault disabled (so no KeyVault!), verbose mode is on for diagnostics, KEXT is injected. We use the SMBIOS information from Mac Mini (w/o T2) to prevent the installer updating T2 (which doesn't exist, thus it will complain and fail the installation.) ``` <?xml version="1.0"

Prepare the target system disk using disk utility, copy OpenCore `EFI` directory to your target system disk's ESP partition (manually mount it), then install macOS as usual. It will take a very long time. At the first reboot, power it down in OpenCore menu, remove the install disk media, and boot using the `macOS Installer` boot entry. It will reboot another 1-2 times before completion. Then set it up as usual. ## Known Caveats - Hyper-V SCSI disk hotplug is not supported - add or remove disk at runtime will panic the OS. - ~~Can't have more than one SCSI controller - which means no Azure Boot yet~~ - If Hyper-V Bus doesn't enumerate anything, try to insert a `IOWait` or something that shortly delays the enumeration processing before issuing the Hyper-V Bus enumeration hypercall. 500ms-1000ms is enough. - Host-initiated VM shutdown is not supported. - Sometimes reboot from virtual machine might cause driver stalling at next boot. In this case, power off the VM and power it on again. - Bad graphics performance, no video resolution changes. - OOBE might reset if you stay there too long - be quick.
