Как установить Windows 10 Technical Preview на Mac с помощью VMware Fusion

В конце января Microsoft выложила на сайте обновленную тестовую версию Windows 10 (January Technical Preview). По сравнению с предыдущей сборкой, в ней изменился интерфейс операционной системы – статус-бар, центр действий, а меню «Пуск» стало возможно развернуть на весь экран. Появился обновленный голосовой помощник Cortana с широкими возможностями персонализации.

Для пользователей Mac, которые хотят прямо сейчас протестировать Windows 10, MacDigger предлагает руководство по установке операционной системы с помощью виртуальной машины VMware Fusion. Для тестирования платформы не обязательно использовать отдельный ПК. Виртуальная машина позволяет работать с «десяткой» в среде OS X.

Используя это руководство, можно установить Windows 10 на Mac простейшим из возможных способов.

VMware Fusion: Powerfully Simple

Running Windows on Mac is only the beginning. VMware Fusion lets you choose from hundreds of supported operating systems, from lesser-known Linux distributions to the latest Windows 10 release, or even macOS, to run side by side with the latest macOS release on your desktop.

Securely connect with vSphere and ESXi servers to launch, control and manage both virtual machines (VMs) and physical hosts. Thanks to the common VMware platform, VMs can also be easily transferred from the vSphere data center to the Mac desktop and then run in Fusion.

Fusion makes it possible to build and test apps for nearly any cloud, platform or device. A new CLI tool, ‘vctl,’ lets users run existing off-the-shelf options or build completely custom OCI containers, design apps and services with Kubernetes, all without needing a managed cloud environment. Apps and virtual machines run in secure local sandboxes and can share local source files and folders with multiple virtual machines or containers at the same time.

With the ability to run an entire virtual cloud stack, including Kubernetes, on a single Mac, software professionals can demonstrate their entire solution in real time, with safe rollback points to return to known stable configurations. Fusion makes it possible to fully express the story of your software journey by running all of its components on a single notebook.

Isolate corporate desktops from physical devices and embrace a ‘Work from Anywhere’ operating model with Fusion. Lock down devices by disabling copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop, shared folders and access to USB devices. Run restricted VMs that are encrypted and password-protected, ensuring that only authorized users can interact with corporate data.

Fusion blends the Windows experience seamlessly with Mac and does so without excessive clutter. You have the flexibility to keep the two worlds securely apart or integrate them for one seamless experience. Install a fresh OS like Windows 10 or easily convert an ageing PC into a virtual one.

FEATURES

Ready for macOS Big Sur

Run nearly any operating system on macOS 11 Big Sur without rebooting. Fusion now has added support for operating entirely without Kernel Extensions on Big Sur, making it more secure and ready for the future of macOS, all while continuing to perform on macOS 10.15 Catalina.

Powerful Graphics with eGPUs

Powerful Graphics with eGPUs

Fusion can drive complex, GPU intensive applications and games with a dramatically improved 3D graphics engine. Fusion now provides hardware accelerated DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 capabilities to Windows and Linux virtual machines, with added support for eGPU devices. Now allowing for up to 8GB of vRAM per-VM, and employing a special ‘sandbox’ process to render graphics, Fusion leads the way in virtual machine graphics performance, accuracy and security.

Improved vSphere Connectivity

Improved vSphere Connectivity

Connect to ESXi or vCenter Server to drive, control, and configure VMs as well as ESXi Hosts, with improved visibility into Datacenter and Host topology. With the common underlying VMware hypervisor, Fusion Pro makes it easy to transfer virtual machines back and forth with a simple drag-and-drop, or control VMs directly from the corporate data center from the comfort of your Mac. Available in Fusion Pro only.

Helpful Snapshots and Clones

Use snapshots to create a rollback point to revert to on the fly, which is perfect for testing software or creating repeatable demos. Clones make it easy to test a variety of different scenarios without the need to deploy the same OS configuration multiple times. Clones are available only with the VMware Fusion Pro edition.

Complement to Boot Camp

No more choosing between Windows or Mac at start-up. Fusion lets you run Windows and Mac apps side-by-side directly from your existing Boot Camp partition without re-installing or rebooting.

Integrated Experience

Enjoy seamless copy-and-paste between Windows and Mac, drag-and-drop file sharing, folder sharing and mirroring, as well as networking and printing that require no setup but can be highly customized for professional or advanced use cases.

Sandboxed Experience

Isolate the Mac from Windows by disabling integration features to secure and protect the operating systems from each other. VMware Fusion gives you choices that aren’t possible when carrying a second computer.

New Containers and Kubernetes support

New Containers and Kubernetes support

Run OCI Container images and local Kubernetes clusters with the new CLI ‘vctl.’ Developers can build and test modern apps on production-like local environments, and IT professionals can get more familiar with emerging cloud technologies without breaking the bank or the data center.

Bigger VMs, More Compatibility

Bigger VMs, More Compatibility

Fusion Pro and Fusion Player now support massively sized virtual machines, with up to 32 CPU cores, 128GB of RAM, 10TB virtual disks and 8GB of vRAM per VM on systems with capable hardware like the new Mac Pro. Fusion 12 also delivers additional compatibility with USB 3.1 devices, as well as supporting vSphere 7 for both local deployments and remote connections.

Virtual Networking for Professionals

Virtual Networking for Professionals

Fusion Pro can additionally manage Virtual Network configurations, with a UI to create new networks, modify subnet settings, change MTU size, configure NAT port forwarding and more. View the traffic of each virtual network by using a standard PCAP reader, like Wireshark, to capture it with the built-in ‘vmnet-sniffer’ utility. Finally, Fusion can even simulate things like packet loss, bandwidth limitations and latency to help test the resiliency of your app or service.

Accessibility

VMware is dedicated to supporting its customers by making Fusion and Fusion Pro accessible to everyone, including those aligned with the regulations of Section 508 standards. Leverage the Mac’s assistive technology and Fusion to interact with elements inside of Windows to give accessibility controls to applications that wouldn’t otherwise have them. Learn more about VMware’s commitment to accessibility.

Simplified OS Installs

With Fusion, you can run Windows from a Boot Camp partition, install from a Windows disc, migrate from an existing PC or even install macOS as a virtual machine from the recovery partition. Fusion provides a simple yet customizable way to install multiple operating systems on your Mac. New in Fusion is updated support for the Open Virtualization Format which includes an effortless installation walkthrough of the VMware vCenter Server Appliance OVA.

Retina and 6K Display Ready

VMware Fusion looks great on the latest 5K iMac and 6K Apple Pro XDR displays, and supports mixed retina and non-retina setups. Use a standard DPI display with your retina MacBook Pro or add a 4K display to your setup without hassle. No matter what sort of display you’re using, Fusion makes Windows look better than ever.

USE CASES

VMware Fusion is designed for every kind of Mac user. IT pros, developers and businesses choose VMware Fusion Pro for its broad OS support, rock-solid stability and advanced features simply not available in a non-virtualized environment.
