      2. Take your chances all of them may be hacked in some way.
    2. Boot Disk
  3. Create and setup the virtualbox(before you start it)
    1. Run the following command.
      1. you can run them individually or with && inbetw3een them to make it faster.

VBoxManage modifyvm "Catalina" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac11,3" && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0" && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Iloveapple" && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1
