These existing macOS VM's would be ones which have been created and run using a particular VMware hardware version. VMware say they will continue to attempt to test and certify new macOS releases for use as a guest on Fusion for Intel based Macs for as long as VMware Fusion is a production product for Intel Macs. VMware have always had their own technology known as the VMware hardware version, which reflects the virtual machine's supported virtual hardware features on ESXi and Fusion. Wait, what?Ī guest operating system is an operating system that is secondary to the OS originally installed on a computer, which is known as the host operating system. Apple silicon macOS guests will never be able to be supported at all. At that point a deprecated support level will be provided to legacy macOS certified versions which support the VMware hardware version technologies in ESXi and Fusion but only for legacy Intel based Mac computers. Updated with some clarifications about VMware hardware version technology - Īs far as I can make out from a blog post and a support note (links below), guest operating system support for latest macOS versions on VMware Fusion will be discontinued in upcoming release 13.0 of VMware Fusion and at end of support for ESXi 7.0.
