Hi I have i7 with 16GB and want to run macos x Sierra on Vmware. I wanted MacOS mainly only for Xcode. How much memory and processor do you recommend that I put in the VMware?
Also there are two options in the processor,
Number of processors:
Number of cores per processor: Whats this option do and how much is recommended?
When I changed Number of processors from 2 to 4 it says
"the virtual machine might not run properly because it is configured to use more virtual processors sockets than the guests supports"
