To my complete surprise, CentOS 7 booted just fine on the Mac hardware. The old hard disk came from a Samsung Q330 laptop, on which I had CentOS 7 installed. In case my Windows 10 Folly wasn’t going to be successful, I would have something to go back to in a jiffy. I didn’t want to touch my current installation of High Sierra. I started by swapping out an old hard disk from another laptop I had lying around, so see if this experiment would work in principle. and a wired Internet Ethernet Connection (I’ll tell you why later on).a bootable Windows Installation Disk ur USB Sick (can be created with the Windows Media Creation Tool).What we needįor this experiemnt, we need the following ingredients: I thought I’d take some notes on how I did this step by step, and give you my opinions if this was an adventure worth undertaking. I did this in two live streams the other night, and continued the process over the following days – and now I’ve got a (more or less working) Windows 10 installation on my MacBook Pro (early 2011 Edition). However, being the hacker that I am, I thought perhaps I’ll try the “Windows Only” experience. Apple’s recommended way is to do all this from macOS, using their own Bootcamp setup. So I thought, perhaps I’ll put in a new hard drive that I had in another old laptop and install Windows 10 on it. Even if I could keep up with Mojave and beyond, the hardware might just not be fast enough anymore to give me an enjoyable experience. I’m stuck with macOS High Sierra, without an option to upgrade without shadowy patches. I’ve had it since 2011 and it’s still going strong.Īpple however doesn’t want to suport it anymore. It does everything I want for a portable coding, writing and occasional editing device. I know how frustrating this could be but you, myself and a bunch of other users are in the same situation, we will need to be patient and wait for the developers to finally provide a software fix.I love my old MacBook Pro. This issues are supposed to be fixed in 10.15.6 which is already in Beta 1, but I am not an apple employee and I cannot tell you for sure if the problems will be fixed and when will the next release will be publicly available.
There are some OS issues with Catalina and one that I am experiencing is the Fan and CPU heat when connecting to an external monitor, while the MacBook is not attached to any external display the temperature is fine, but once I plug a monitor even if it is my iPad Pro via sidecar the CPU increases 30% and more due to a power consumption issue of the ADM video card. Unfortunately not at this time, if your laptop was already tested by an apple technician and no issues where found, it simply means hardware wise the Macbook pro is OK, the next troubleshooting step will be a debug of the OS system.
