macOS High Sierra AMD Windows 10 VMWare 16.2.1 Hyper-V

[amun]

I am on Windows 10 (Host), AMD FX-8350. I need Hyper-V enabled to use WSL and an Android Emulator.
My understanding is, this won't work with virtualbox, but with vmware shouldn't be an issue anymore: https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2020/05/vmware-workstation-now-supports-hyper-v-mode.html

I thought I'd go with High Sierra, as it has lower system requirements, so my hope was it would perform a bit better (as my machine is not the fastest, plus we can't use virtualization).

I tried this vmdk and iso:

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

I also installed the unlocker.
Unfortunately, no matter if I boot from the iso or the vmdk I get "Operating System not found".
Where could I find a working vmdk or iso? Or ist the problem in my config?

With VMWare you'll need to use a modified kernel. VirtualBox however can spoof the CPUID to an Intel CPU.

Thank you very much! I gave VirtualBox a shot, with this guide: https://www.geekrar.com/how-to-install-macos-catalina-on-virtualbox-on-amd-systems/
When I start the machine I get this error:

Call to NEMR0InitVMPart2 failed: VERR_NEM_INIT_FAILED (VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED).

It's an issue with the HV from what I can tell. Fix is to run

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

As I wrote I need Hyper-V, that's the point of the thread. But I think I solved this issue, the problem is that the lates Virtualbox version is buggy: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=104179 – with 6.1.26 I don't get this error.

Still not working, though, I need to check the error log.

If you've got that fixed you'll need to run these commands to allow macOS to boot "natively" within VBox on AMD,

cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\" 
VBoxManage modifyvm "Monterey" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
