macOS on Asus TuF Gaming A14 FA401UU

[mapomme1108]

Hello,

I have bought a new laptop and I would like to install macOS Sequoia or Tahoe

It is an Asus TuF Gaming A14 FA401UU:

• AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS with AMD Radeon 780M Graphics
• Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050
• 16 Go DDR5
• SSD NVMe 1 To WD PC SN560 SSDPNQE
• SSD NVMe 4 To Kingston SNV2S4000G-1TTO-1102
• MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 (RZ616)

Do you know if I can install macOS?

Thank you for your help

Neither of the GPU solutions in your laptop are compatible with macOS. You would be better off running macOS as a VM.

See this AMD VM guide for instructions and necessary files etc.

*** First of all, don't make any changes to the vmware .vmx file. It is recommended that you create a new virtual machine from scratch so that it recreates this file by default and without any changes.

*** Use VMWare Workstation Pro version at the link provided in the tutorial. (If you install it, you will have to make a new Patch as described)

*** Enable AMD-V or INTEL VT (Virtualization Technology) in BIOS. (you should research how to do this on your machine)


1) First you need to download VMWare Workstation Pro:

Hello,

Thank you for your answer

I have followed the guide to create a VM
I use a macOS Tahoe ISO that I have created.

At startup, I can choose between OpenCore and macOS Tahoe Installer.
I choose macOS Tahoe Installer but it is stuck at the beginning

When I install the VMWare unlocker, there is this error message :

Are you using the correct versions of VMWare?
Did you follow the steps in the guide?

Did you follow a good guide for creating the Tahoe ISO? As from the text above the VM Host can't find 'Darwin', i.e. your macOS ISO - Fichier introuvable - darwin*.*.

Hello,

I have successfully installed Tahoe on VMWare but there is no graphic acceleration and it is very slow.

Is there a way to enable graphic acceleration?

Thank you for your help

No, the macOS VM doesn’t support graphics acceleration.

Plus neither of the graphics processors in your system are compatible with macOS. You wouldn’t get graphics acceleration even if you were to run macOS directly on your laptop.
