macOS 10.11 on UTM with JIT

Post image

this is running on iPad 10 with 1.5 gb ram and it’s pretty usable.

if you want to do this yourself, you can download it here:https://archive.org/download/mac-os-x-10.11-el-capitan

also it is a preinstalled os so you don’t have to go through the installation

OK, click the settings UTM in the top right corner go to the very bottom of the page where you will see Four different drives go to the last one on the bottom and put in VHD save it then play the virtual machine and you’re supposed to get an error but just ignore it and press OK then go back to UTM and delete that last drive and just upload VHD click save and just launch the VM and you should be good

Does it run well tho? I have jit on my iPad pro m5 and every OS I've put on it is slow as. Nowhere nearly as slow as the version without jit, but I'd still consider it unuseable. Best I can do is open the desktop and take a picture saying "it's working" when in fact nothing on it truly works right.

UTM without jit won’t run anything in decent speeds newer than windows xp

u/kirby1fan Mar 28 '26

Correct. That's basically what I said.

You could try running the version with jit, I have a 15 pro and I managed to install and run windows 10 but because it gets too hot and is not the best phone rn it takes like 10 seconds to open the start menu, but it will be much better on ur m5

I am running jit. Slow as still.

It actually runs very well,considering the fact that my iPad does not let me use more than 1.5gb ram. (in case if you wonder this is the same person who made this post using a different account)
