How to Use USB on Mac OS VirtualBox

Are you considering installing macOS Monterey on your Windows or Linux PC? If so, you're in the right place! In this article, we'll guide you through the process of using a USB drive with Mac OS VirtualBox.

Before we begin, it's essential to note that this process requires some technical knowledge and expertise. If you're new to technology and software, it's recommended that you seek help from someone familiar with these areas.

Step 1: Connect the 16GB or larger USB drive to your computer. Make sure it's a USB 3.0 port for faster transfer speeds.

Step 2: Open VirtualBox on your Windows or Linux PC and create a new virtual machine by clicking on 'New' under the 'Machine' tab. Choose 'Mac OS X' as the operating system and follow the prompts to set up your virtual machine.

Step 3: Once you've created your virtual machine, click on 'Settings' under the 'Machine' tab and select 'Storage'. Click on the small icon at the bottom left corner of the window that looks like a CD/DVD drive. Select the USB drive as the location for the installation media.

Step 4: After selecting the USB drive, you'll be prompted to rename it and choose a format from the dropdown menu. Choose 'Mac OS Extended' as the format.

Step 5: Click on 'Erase' under the 'Disk Utility' tab and select the USB drive as the location for the erase operation. Follow the prompts to complete the erase process.

Step 6: Once the erase process is complete, click on 'Install macOS Monterey' and follow the installation prompts.

That's it! You should now have a fully functional virtual machine with Mac OS running on your Windows or Linux PC. Keep in mind that this is not a substitute for an actual Mac computer, but rather a way to experience the Mac operating system on a different platform.

Please note that while it's possible to install macOS Monterey on a Windows or Linux PC using VirtualBox, it may not work as well as it would on a Mac computer. However, with some technical knowledge and expertise, you can still enjoy the features and functionality of Mac OS on your non-Mac device.
