Failed to open a session for the virtual machine. Details: the VM session was aborted Result Code: NSERRORFAILURE(0x80004005). On the VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine. Enter a name for the virtual machine and select a Mac OS version suitable for the Mac OS version that you have downloaded. Mac OS operating systems need a large amount of RAM to work, You should provide it with about 4GB RAM. Virtualbox has the option for a MacOS virtual machine in it’s New VM dialog, but we will need to make further adjustments to make it truly Mac-ready. Pop open Virtualbox, and Create a new Virtual Machine. Name this MacOS Mojave, and set it to Mac OS X (64-bit).

Try a virtual machine with VirtualBox

It is free to use, has an outstanding performance, excellent quality on the virtual machine, and the downloading process is really easy.

Virtualization is very different from emulators. VirtualBox runs on your computer as a guest, so it thinks it is the host, but in reality, the code is not allowed to make any changes on the host, your PC.

This program is very helpful for small businesses or personal use. Download any app or software through VirtualBox, see how it runs on there, and then decide if you want it on your computer or not. If you’re in need of a specific app, but your software doesn’t support it, use VirtualBox to simulate a PC on your computer.

VirtualBox runs on every OS. You can install it on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Solaris. Its broad compatibility makes it perfect for everyone, one of the best features of this program.

The downloading is pretty easy, press the download button, install it, and create your virtual machine with any software you want. No need to struggle with the long installation process, this one is short and easy.

VirtualBox is a great program where you can try different operating systems on your computer and for free.

Is there a better alternative?

No. Burn free for mac. It is often compared with VMware Workstation, but it doesn’t have the quality that VirtualBox offers, and also the downloading process is a lot simpler. With its free service and great performance, nothing beats it.

Where can you run this program?

VirtualBox can run on Windows, Linux, MacOS, Solaris, and a lot more. It is basically available to any computer on the market.
