macOS Ventura 13.2 (Parallels VM Guest OS)

This is a Virtual Machine (VM) created with Parallels Desktop with a guest Mac OS.

What, why and more:

  • A vanilla Mac OS 13.0 build 22A380 guest OS and nothing else.
  • No user account has been created yet. You can choose your own name and password!
  • Test software not supported by your OS
  • As an isolated OS this can be used to research malware or malicious software safely to find out how to kill it or remove it

Things to know:

  • Parallels Tools has not been installed
  • All settings for the VM are default. Make sure to configure the hardware settings to optimize it for your environment
  • Parallels Desktop version 18 was used to create the VM while running on Mojave

Important Info:

  • Disable the network for the guest OS in the hardware configuration settings if you plan to use it isolated from the internet. And disable any sharing between your Mac and the Guest OS for maximum safety
  • Clone the VM after you have configured it and setup a new user account. This way if you’re into mass destruction you have a ready to use starting point

Requirements:

  • Due to serious bugs with earlier versions of PD18, Parallels Desktop v18.1.0 is recommended as the minimum
  • It might be usable on earlier versions of Parallels Desktop if you don’t install the Parallels Tools

Disclaimer: This is not meant to be a replacement OS and will never be as quick as a real OS nor is this intended to be a perfect host for all software. All virtual machines have limits. I use these VMs like toilet paper and delete them after testing software leaving my system uncluttered from files I didn’t want. And no residual problems with left over files from whatever I was testing that could affect future tests.
