BuckSS Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi guys! I'm planning to upgrade my PC to new Skylake CPU - compatible mobo and memory. I've read a lot of topics and guides about Intel Skylake CPU's and MacOS installations and every guide says you should disable Intel virtualization technology for CPU (VT-d) in uEFI/BIOS settings. Every virtualization software (hypervisors) need this option enabled for this software working. And I really need this software for my job (sometimes I'm running multiple OS'es or need some software not compatible with Mac OS). So, the question is: Is it really impossible (for now) to fully run MacOS on Skylake CPUs (with all features enabled or VT-d, at least)?

TheRacerMaster Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 VT-d is not VT-x. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/314686-skylake-and-vt-d/#findComment-2271130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckSS Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 VT-d is not VT-x. Oh…. my bad, I totally messed up with the terms =) So, there are no problems with Virtual machines on Mac OS on skylake? ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/314686-skylake-and-vt-d/#findComment-2271148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So, there are no problems with Virtual machines on Mac OS on skylake? ) Yes, you can use your VMs in macOS without problems. But macOS 10.12 it's beta yet, maybe you'll have some problems. Give preference to a stable version of OS X.
