If you have Office or earlier and choose to perform a clean install of Windows 10, you will need to locate your Office product key.
For tips on locating your product key, check Find your Office product key or Enter the product key for your Office program. Validating your request. This may take several minutes. Do not refresh the page or select back, doing so will cancel the request. Download Windows 10 Disc Image ISO File Before updating, please refer to the Windows release information status for known issues to confirm your device is not impacted.
Before you begin Make sure you have: An internet connection internet service provider fees may apply. Having a virtual machine on-hand can be useful for a variety of purposes, such as testing software or tweaks in a sandboxed environment that is separate from your primary operating system.
A virtual machine can also help you to run older software that doesn't work with your new operating system, or simply exploring a new operating system altogether. For instance, you could have a fully working copy of Linux while being logged into Windows, or an installation of Windows XP inside Windows 10, etc.
Running an OS within an OS is surprisingly easy to do courtesy of free software from VMware and VirtualBox, both of which we'll show you how to install and configure, albeit with more of an emphasis on VMware Player.
We've used VMware Player extensively for years and for this guide we worked with our current installation of an older version that supports older processors. VMware Player 14 has new features and improved support for more modern hardware, and will be the focus of our guide today. Meanwhile, VirtualBox is also worth a mention as it can be run on macOS.
In the event that your copy of Windows 10 is on a bootable USB drive instead of being an ISO, VMware Player doesn't provide native support for booting off USB devices, but it's easy to add this functionality when you reach the hardware configuration screen at end of the setup prompts. To install them, the process is the same as in any other system.
In macOS we will see a drive similar to if we had inserted a CD into the reader. At some point we may get a macOS security warning that indicates that the system extension has been blocked. If this error message does not appear, then we should not worry, since the installation will finish itself.
If we encounter this error, what we must do is allow its execution manually. To do this, from the error message itself, we will open the macOS security and privacy panel, and allow the execution of this component. Once this is done, we must re-run the VMware Tools installation wizard, and this time it will go smoothly to the end.
We restart macOS to complete the installation and voila. When you reboot the system we can see how many features already work correctly, and we can, among other things, change the resolution screen size of the virtual machine. We already have our macOS installed and configured.
From this moment we can start using it. However, we may be interested in creating a snapshot. These are like restore points at the virtual machine level. In this way, in case something goes wrong, or we break macOS, we can restore its operation simply by restoring the snapshot. This will save us having to repeat this whole process from scratch. To do this, we will turn off the virtual machine and, once turned off, we will click with the right mouse button on it.
We already have our macOS snapshot created in Windows All the changes we have made since then will be erased and, by magic, our macOS will be just as it was at the time of creating the Snapshot. At this point we can already use macOS from Windows 10 in the virtual machine as if we had a Mac. But surely what scares us most is to install any update, both at the level of security patches and new versions.
At first, nothing would have to happen to install the new versions of macOS in the virtual machine. Same as if we update a VM with Windows 10 or Linux. However, if something goes wrong, we have the previous Snapshot. Simply restore it and everything will return to normal. We will see the related results about this version of macOS. We will see the latest version of macOS available in the store. The update process may take a long time.
When it restarts, we will complete the initial configuration wizard of Catalina and, in a few more minutes, we will have the system ready to use it.
