Then when you reboot again, it should boot back to regular mode. That will do a one-time boot to recovery mode.

And Rich Trouton’s trick to booting to recovery mode using VMWare doesn’t really apply to VirtualBox.Īnother blog post ( How to boot into recovery mode on mac without holding Command + R Key on keyboard ?) did have the solution, though. I didn’t find Cmd-R to be a very reliable way to boot to recovery mode.

Once you’ve booted up to Setup Assistant and answered all the questions, you should be logged in and able to go to the Mac App Store to download and install the macOS Catalina upgrade. Installing High Sierra at this point with HFS+ (not APFS) should work. The tutorial mentions having to deal with the EFI Internal Shell.

#Mac iso for virtualbox windows 10
I did a modified version of How to Install macOS High Sierra in VirtualBox on Windows 10 to get High Sierra installed on VirtualBox.
So there may be a way easier way to set up Catalina as a guest on a Mac host, but at least this is something (happy to link to better tutorials if people post them). There are also, if you look for blog posts about macOS guests, many blog posts about Apple-unsanctioned “hackintosh” setups on Windows or Linux hosts. Or that there are difficulties with VirtualBox and APFS. There are a lot of posts indicating that 10.15 or 10.15.1 worked but 10.15.2 and beyond don’t.
I won’t say this is the way to install macOS Catalina on VirtualBox, but it’s certainly a way, and it’s difficult to find information about a way to do it.
