At the recent World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC 18) that as held on 4th June 2018, Apple released a new operating system that is now bigger and better. The macOS 10.14 Mojave will be packed with many cool features. Top among these are better security and performance and a new dark mode. The latter is particularly a cool feature that everyone is talking about, and we all want to try it out.
A Virtual Machine is one which does not exist physically but is made to exist using the VMWare Workstation software. In this case, you will have a macOS virtual machine that operates on macOS 10.14 Mojave. You have a Windows PC but you can open the virtual machine and have a Mac on the same computer. The VMware Workstation Player is like any other application or program on your Windows computer but when opened it takes you to the world of the Mojave; the macOS Virtual Machine.
In order to create this virtual machine, there are various things you will need. One is the Mac OS X VMware image which is the same one Mac users would use to install the operating system. You will also need to download the VMware Player which is a free program and the Patch Tool. More on these below:
This is the image containing all the information required to install the OS X operating system. The one provided here is created on the Mojave installer file. It is fresh and clean and will make it easy to do the installation. To use it, ensure that you have Winrar or 7zip software. If not, be sure to download Winrar before getting started because this will be needed to unpack the macOS Mojave VMware image.
