So my cousin wants to install MAC OS (the newest version) on his computer for Garageband and other Apple media tools. He downloaded VMWARE for his system. The problem is he doesn’t have a Mac or any Apple machine—every guide suggests using a MacBook or similar, then extracting the OS from those sources. I’m trying to get the ISO file for the OS so he can run it in VMWARE. He already has BIOS configured and everything seems to work on both hardware and software. P.S. He now has a GTX 980 Classified Edition, not his original AMD card.

They didn't say it from me. It came through Life Hacker. A note on running Mac OS X on Windows using VirtualBox. No guarantees if anything goes wrong, and I don’t endorse piracy.

You could upgrade your PC by enhancing its performance through virtualization techniques, optimizing resources, and ensuring efficient management of virtual environments.

It wasn't clear whether you were targeting Hackintoshing or using a virtual machine. You mentioned both approaches in your query.

According to what I understand, building a hackintosh requires suitable hardware. I suggest checking out www.tonymacx86.com. It seems Apple might also provide an ISO for some models you’ve seen; just do a quick search.

Yes, Hackintosh involves installing macOS on a non-Apple device to enable compatibility with software designed for Apple hardware.

It's quite close. Hackintosh allows OS X to function on systems without Windows 10, 7, 8 or 8.1. Using a virtual machine means running OS X inside Windows.

It seems unclear if you're running in a virtual machine or installing directly on the hardware.
