 macOS guests on VirtualBox are incompatible with some CPU models. If the guest macOS boot process hangs on “LoadKernelFromStream”, “EndRandomSeed”, or "EXITBS", see the [documentation command](#documentation) regarding VirtualBox CPU profiles and [CPUID settings](https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-modifyvm-teleport). Some CPU models released in 2020 and later may fail to start or complete the installer, and may require manually adjusting the CPUID settings.
 
+### Upgrading to Big Sur and Monterey 
+
+The virtual machine may be upgraded to the latest macOS Big Sur (11) and macOS Monterey (12) versions through Software Update. Big Sur may be installed in-place. Monterey may require attaching another volume to the virtual machine and selecting the volume as the installation target, otherwise the upgrade is prone to failing and entering a boot loop.

 ### Performance and deployment
 
 After successfully creating a working macOS virtual machine, consider importing it into more performant virtualization software, or packaging it for configuration management platforms for automated deployment. These virtualization and deployment applications require additional configuration that is beyond the scope of the script.

 The VirtualBox Native Execution Manager (NEM) is an experimental VirtualBox feature. [VirtualBox uses NEM when access to VT-x and AMD-V is blocked by virtualization software or execution protection features such as Hyper-V, WSL2, WSLg, Windows Sandbox, memory integrity protection, Application Guard, Credential Guard, Device Guard, and other features and software.](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/virtualization-apps-not-work-with-hyper-v) macOS and the macOS installer have memory corruption issues under NEM virtualization. The script checks for NEM and exits with an error message if it is detected.
 
-[VirtualBox can run on WSL2 and WSLg with some kernel module compilation](https://github.com/myspaghetti/macos-virtualbox/issues/525), though performance is extremely low. At the point that kernel module compilation is required, it's preferable to use QEMU/KVM. QEMU/KVM on WSL2 and WSLg is orders of magnitude faster than VirtualBox. WSL2, WSLg, QEMU, and KVM require additional configuration that is beyond the scope of the script.
