For reference: my laptop is the Razer Blade 14 2022 with AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX. It supports AMD-V.

Disable “Memory integrity” under Core isolation in the Windows Security app. Restart computer. This will disable the Hyper-V hypervisor. You can do this anytime before starting the virtual machine. This was the roadblock that prevented me from running the virtual machine.

Creating and Configuring the Virtual Machine

Writing this tutorial so that you can have an easier time.

Download VirtualBox AND the Extension Pack

• Install VirtualBox and then install the Extension Pack

MacOS 13 ISO download

Create a new Virtual machine, with the name “macOS 13”, and select file above for the ISO.

• Processors: 4
• New Virtual Hard Drive Storage: 100GB

Click Setting (cog)

• Display: 128MB (max) Video Memory

Close VirtualBox

Then run these commands in an administrative command prompt

cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
VBoxManage modifyvm "macOS 13" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 13" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac19,3"
VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 13" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"
VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 13" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Iloveapple"
VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 13" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"

VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 13" "VBoxInternal/TM/TSCMode" "RealTSCOffset"

On AMD systems,

VBoxManage modifyvm "macOS 13" --cpu-profile "Intel Core i7-6700K"

On Intel systems,

VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 13" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1

If you get an error,

VBoxManage setextradata "macOS 13" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 0
