Setup Windows 8 in Mac OS X using VMWare is just as easy as install other Windows OS on another platform. The new Windows 8 is now a big rival to iOS and Mac OSX, but now you can enjoy it free on your Mac OS X with the Windows 8 Developer Preview with the help of VMWare virtualization. The best part of it is free.
How to Setup Windows 8 in Mac OS X using VMWare
First of all, you should download Windows 8 Developer Preview. It is free, but you need a computer with a 64-bit support to begin with.
Second of all, you will need VMWare Fusion 4 which is also free to download (30 days trial) or if you like buy it for $49. You should act quickly because the Windows 8 ISO which is as large as 4GB is moved fast from Microsoft servers on the net.
Third of all, make sure that you have plenty hard disk space and RAM on your computer.
Last thing, here’s how you setup Windows 8 in Mac OS X using VMWare:
- Insert the Windows 8 ISO file on your desktop
- Run VMWare Fusion and click “New”
- Drag and drop the ISO to the “New Virtual Machine Assistant”.
- Make sure that you have chosen “Use operating system installation disc or image:” and select Wind8DP ISO.
- Click “Continue”.
- Select “Windows 7″ as the OS and give 2GB of RAM for the Windows 8 VM (64 bit version).
- Boot the VMWare by pressing the play button
- Finish the onscreen step-by-step instruction.
You can also use this trick to install Windows 8 on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Best of all, Windows 8 already supports touchscreen so if you have a touchscreen monitor you can enjoy clicking without a mouse!
