    Hello all,
    Now that Sonoma has come up and is the default for macOS virtual machine, how do I install a Ventura virtual machine?

    I already tried without success creating a .iso from the Ventura installer and downgrading from Sonoma.

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Same issue here as well. When attempting to create a Ventura VM in Sonoma on an M2 Max MacBook Pro I receive the message: "Cannot retrieve the hardware model data."

    Hello,
    Currently, it is possible to install a macOS virtual machine on Mac computer with Apple M-series Chip only of the same macOS version as that installed on the Mac.
    Hence, if you wish to create a macOS virtual machine with a different macOS version, it is necessary to create it on a Mac running that version, and then transfer the resulting .macvm file to the destination Mac.
    More information on this is described in this article.
    Thank you.
