How to Install macOS Sierra 10.12 on VirtualBox?

In our previous post we have shown you that how to install macOS Sierra 10.12 on VMware and
now in this article, Im going to show you that how to install macOS Sierra 10.12 on VirtualBox.
Apple has announced the next version of its Mac operating system: Sierra. Of course, the real change
is that, after fifteen years, Apple has finally ditched the OS X moniker. All things old are new
again, and the new operating system will only call macOS. We dont yet know if Sierra carries a
10.12 version number, but with developers getting their hands on the OS later today, we should
soon have that question answered.

Apples Craig Federighi ran through a whole bunch of new features to be included in the revised
operating system. He started by mentioning Continuity and Auto-Unlock, which now combine to let
you seamlessly unlock a desktop or laptop Mac merely by bringing your Apple Watch close, using
what Federighi described as time-of-flight networking to detect the watchs proximity. It was
unclear from the presentation whether or not this feature is an Apple Watch exclusive; Federighi did
not explicitly say that Auto-Unlock would work with iOS devices.

So, Im not going to discuss anymore regarding Apple new release macOS Sierra instead; Im
gonna talk about installing macOS Sierra on VirtualBox on Windows operating system.
