How to Install macOS Catalina for Free

Are you excited about the latest updates in macOS Catalina? There's plenty of new stuff to explore and try out, including improved security, updated apps, and more. If you're looking for a way to install macOS Catalina on your VirtualBox with an ISO file, then this article is for you.

Unlike other installation methods, this method uses the official macOS Catalina ISO file to install the operating system. This update comes with plenty of new features that make it stand out from previous versions.

When setting up your Mac after installing macOS Catalina, the new owner will have the option to complete setup using their own information. If you're selling or trading in your Mac, be sure to quit the setup assistant and shut down before handing over ownership.

The installation process may take some time, so be patient and let it complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. If you encounter any issues during installation, such as not seeing your disk or being unable to install on your computer or volume, try erasing your disk first.

To avoid confusion, make sure to choose the correct disk when prompted during installation - in this case, select 'Macintosh HD' rather than 'Macintosh HD - Data'. You may also need to enter a password if asked to unlock your disk.

Once the installation is complete, you'll see a window with the option to reinstall macOS. Click next and enter the administrator password of the user who will be using the Mac.

After selecting a Wi-Fi network or attaching a network cable, keep holding down the power button until you see an Apple logo or spinning globe. If none of these methods work for you, review the guidelines for using startup-key combinations to troubleshoot any issues.

Installing macOS Catalina on your VirtualBox is a great way to experience the latest features and updates without affecting your current operating system. With this method, you can have the best of both worlds - the familiarity of your current OS and the excitement of exploring the new features in macOS Catalina.
