I’m trying to run a Mac operating system on VMware, but it’s not working. Every time I try to boot it up, it either gets stuck or shows an error. What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?

The reason you can't run a Mac operating system on VMware is likely because macOS has hardware restrictions and requires Apple hardware (like a MacBook or iMac) to run natively. However, if you're trying to run it on a Windows PC, you may need to enable virtualization (VT-x) in your BIOS settings and use a patched version of VMware that supports macOS. Additionally, make sure you have configured the VMware settings properly, such as using macOS as the guest OS, enabling 3D acceleration, and allocating enough memory (at least 4GB) — this should resolve your issue.
