If it remains checked, here’s what things look like after the installation has completed: Missing APFS UEFI driver We currently need to uncheck this box to boot successfully Isn’t that the question? Unfortunately Fusion’s current lack of support makes the decision for us. Rest assured we are very excited about and interested in leveraging the new capabilities found in Apple’s new File System, but for now it will give you an OS that you can not boot in a Virtual Machine.Īs such, during the installation, be sure to NOT check the ‘Use APFS’ checkbox, otherwise you will render the VM unbootable.

If you have a Late 2009 or 2010 Mac model then your Mac can run up to High Sierra but cannot run Fusion 10 or 11.Last week’s WWDC marked another annual iteration of our favourite operating system, macOS. You didn't mention which Mac model you have, but you should carefully check the system requirements, since they changed between Fusion 8.5 and 10.įusion 10 or 11 requires a 2011 or later Mac model, with special rules for the Mac Pro (must be a 2010/2012 Mac Pro with a 6-core or 8-core processor, not 4-core). Version 11.5 runs on macOS 10.13 High Sierra (later minor updates added support for 10.14 Mojave and limited support for Catalina).
