I probably shouldn't do that because I don't want to register multiple MacBooks with my credentials at the Remote Management service. I was able to install Big Sur until "Remote Management" prompted me to login with my companies account to "automatically configure your computer". Fair point to use an older, more stable version as a daily driver but that doesn't really matter for a VM. I couldn't download the newest version of macOS (Monterey at the time of writing) because my device administrator doesn't allow that version yet. That seemed fine so far, although I ran into two major problems. I purchased a license, and it allowed me to create a macOS VM on my MacBook from its recovery partition. I found something that seemed like a suitable alternative in "Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac" which I haven't used before either. At first I tried to setup a VM with VirtualBox but I couldn't find a legit source for a clean macOS image, e.g., nowadays you can download an official Windows 10 ISO directly from Microsoft, but I couldn't find one for macOS. I wanted to test a simple application that I developed, on a clean virtual machine. I haven't used a MacBook before so given the chance I'm trying to get into the basics of macOS development. I started a new job as software developer a few months ago, and I got a company MacBook Pro for work from home that I'm also allowed to use privately.
