Finster Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've been googling all over the place and searching around in here, but it seems like no one has tried playing around with the new Hyper-V features that are built into Windows 8 Pro. I'm curious if that is a bridge to nowhere, or if it would ever be possible to get Mac OS X running under Windows 8 this way? Normally, I'd just crack on and try it out, but it seems that most (or all) of the hackintosh Mac OS X images out there are built to run under Vmware.

Nemes Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hyper-V requires support from the guest OS itself. Unless Apple has a sudden change of heart here, don't expect it to work any time soon. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284324-windows-8-hypervisor-and-os-x-possible/#findComment-1866522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotic Hadron Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Has anyone of you just tried to convert any of the available VMDKs for VMware to VHD and boot from them in Hyper-V? I've tried that but all to no avail. All I see is a blinking cursor like the boot code wasn't able to start the boot loader. The primary partition on that Hyper-V machine is EFI-enabled. Isn't it enough, I wonder? Any clue on how I could trace what's going on? It's 10.5.7 on Hyper-V 3.x. Cheers.

MSoK Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 In a word no, Hyper-V has no support for OS X. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284324-windows-8-hypervisor-and-os-x-possible/#findComment-1952600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotic Hadron Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 In a word no, Hyper-V has no support for OS X. Thanks, MSoK. Bad news. Could you elaborate further, what's the culprit? Is it because Darwin has no native Hyper-V support?

sebus Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 What you do not understand? Hyper-V does NOT support Mac OS X, same as it does not support most of Linux distros, or NetWare or few others that work perfectly fine on Vmware Lets try again - Hyper-V does NOT support Mac OS X, imagine like you could not run Windows on Amiga (Amiga does not support Windows) 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284324-windows-8-hypervisor-and-os-x-possible/#findComment-1953622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
