[QUOTE="dumbmonkey, post: 1782888, member: 181171"] I’m Mac through and through, but a little short on hardware and money at the moment. I’m running macOS Sierra server on older iMac right now, but can’t upgrade to High Sierra server. I’m hosting a private website and wiki/collaborative functions and vpn - still really small scale. I’m also using it in large part to get familiar with Mac server and functionality/performance. I do happen to have plenty of room on a Windows 10 pro HP I have. I was thinking of trying to run the Mac server (likely upgrading to High Sierra server) as a VM on the HP, either as Hyper V, VMware Workstation, or even VirtualBox. I know you can run MacOS High Sierra with VMware or VirtualBox on PC, but not sure how that performs on the Windows host. Is this just really bad idea to run Mac server on windows host? I’d actually like to know if anyone has been happy running regular macOS on Windows host. [/QUOTE]
