Virtual machines are a great alternative to partitioning your hard drive to install Windows using Boot Camp. It means you can use Windows in a window (excuse the pun) or even full screen if you want, and you don't have to cut the amount of space your hard drive has for your current computing needs.

I recently explained how to get the Parallels Desktop virtual machine on your Mac. If you're interested in Parallels, check out my installation guide:

I'm covering all the major virtual machines for your benefit and this time it's all about VMWare's Fusion 11.5 virtual machine software. They're similar, but have a few different steps in the set up process.

Here's how to get VMWare's Fusion 11.5 on your Mac and then install and run Windows 10 from within your macOS operating system without having to switch hard drive partitions.

Check your system and hardware requirements

Before you get started with installation of Fusion 11.5, make sure your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for both hardware and software.

The minimum system requirements for installing and using VMware Fusion 11.5 are:

Hardware

  • All Macs launched in 2011 or later are supported (except the 2012 Mac Pro 'Quad Core' using the Intel Xeon W3565 Processor. The CPU architecture is incompatible).
  • Also supports the 2010 Mac Pro 'Six Core', 'Eight Core' and 'Twelve Core' models.
  • Minimum 4GB of RAM
  • 750MB free disk space for VMware Fusion and at least 5GB for each virtual machine

Software

  • Mac OS X 10.13 or later
  • Operating system installation media (disk or disk image) for virtual machines.
  • Microsoft Windows is not included with VMware Fusion.
  • Recommended graphics hardware for Windows DirectX 10 or OpenGL 3.3 support:
    • NVIDIA 8600M or better
    • ATI 2600 or better
    • Minimum requirements for Metal support.

Before you start: Back up your Mac

This is one of those awful mistakes that people make, thinking that they don't need to back up their Mac before doing something big. First off, you should be backing up your Mac on a regular basis, but even if you don't do so multiple times per day, you should definitely do so right now, before you continue with this guide. Seriously. Back it up.

How to run Windows 10 on Mac using Fusion 11.5

You'll need a copy of Fusion 11.5 or Fusion 11.5 Pro in order to install it on your Mac. Fusion 11.5 costs $79.99 and the pro version costs $159.99. The main differences between them is in the advanced features. The Pro version includes extra features specific for multiple-computer use. For example, if you to be able to create linked clones on different Macs or if you need to network your computers together. You can buy the full license right now or download a free 30-day trial and make your full purchase later. If you have an older version of Fusion, you can upgrade for less.

You'll also need a copy of Windows 10. You might already have a full copy or you might need to buy a copy. VMWare requires that you have a copy on a disk, drive, or an ISO image file in order to run it on your Mac.
