The external disk is now ready, phew that was a lot! but we’re almost there! 😄 If NTFS format is doesn’t finish after a few minutes then there’s something wrong, make sure that Windows has the correct driver and that you VMWare is setup correctly. I didn’t run the above commands, just adding them here as a key learning*. To get the Developer ID from an installer you click on the lock button that’s available on the top right of the installer.

🤨Ī solution that I didn’t end up using was to use VirtualBox, I learned that the VirtualBox 6.0.10 installer doesn’t work while VMware Fusion is running, then after a successful VirtualBox installation, VMware didn’t want to start my virtual machines anymore showing a “Could not open /dev/vmmon: Broken pipe” error, then I later learned a workaround to install applications that are not notarized by Apple by running the following commands from the Recovery OS Terminal # Add a trusted developer id spctl kext-consent add # List added developer ids spctl kext-consent list I cheated there a little bit, when my reason was only to make BeamNG.drive work, I ended up giving up after 6 hours, but a few days later, I needed this solution for professional work, and that’s when I had to take a bigger dive. My son wanted to play BeamNG.drive, and.I was lucky to find a solution that works with VMware Fusion, I say lucky because I already have a license for VMware Fusion running Windows 10 Pro, at this point you might be wondering 🤔 “Why didn’t you just use that Windows?”, two reasons: While trying to figure this out, I ended up learning a few thing along the way, some of which I didn’t use to make this work, but I believe they are useful enough to mention them here anyway. I spend about 12 hours on on this thing! I struggled a lot! I wanted to make it work without purchasing the easy-to-use software out there, but I eventually gave up and had to make two purchases 😬 only because I wanted to have a professional setup 🤓, this story is not a recommendation, it’s a reminder for myself showing how much I struggled and how I eventually got it working for future reference using this video, if you can make Windows Professional work in Boot Camp in an external drive on a mac running macOS Mojave without purchasing please let me know!
