I am now switching to a new Hackintosh system. Technically, I run two different Hackintoshes, AMD Ryzen Hackintosh as well as an Intel Hackintosh. I have problems when trying to get VMware Fusion runnin on an AMD Hackintosh. But, this program works very well on an Intel Hackintosh. In this article, we will learn how to install VMware Fusion on macOS Monterey Hackintosh (Intel Hackintosh for sure). Before we go through, you may wondering what is VMware Fusion. So basically, VMware Fusion is a virtualization software that allows us to run multiple operating systems on a single host. For example, we can run Microsoft Windows 11 on a macOS Monterey Hackintosh.

Below are the system specification that I use for this purpose

  • Operating System: macOS Monterey 12.1
  • Processor: Intel Core i5 9400
  • Motherboard: ASUS B360
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 570 8 GB
