![]() Now there are multiple methods used to download the current and previous versions from a Windows PC. In the past you needed access to a Macintosh computer to download the current version, but that’s no longer the case. So the latest macOS version is Catalina or 10.15, the prior one is Mojave or 10.14, prior to that is High Sierra or 10.13, and so on. USB Flash Drive, 16 GB or Greater – This is used to load the installer which will then install macOS to your computer.ĭownload of macOS and Windows 10 – Where Windows has a numerical naming convention for their operating systems (Windows 7 → Windows 8 → Windows 8.1 → Windows 10), Apple uses names and numbers for their operating system.

Because of this, some cards require additional power from the computer’s power supply. While a PCI slot supplies electricity to power the card, some graphics cards are designed for high-performance gaming and draw more power than what the PCIe slot can supply. Note that the video card will take up one PCI express slot (PCIe) on your motherboard. AMD cards, like Nvidia cards which are no longer supported after macOS Mojave, are made by different vendors such as MSI, Zotac, XFX, Gigabyte, PowerColor, Sapphire, and more. If you have a server with an Intel Xeon processor, chances are you know your way around computer hardware.ĪMD Graphics card (Desktop only) - If you choose not to use your Intel's built-in graphics or if your Intel CPU has no built-in graphics, you'll need an AMD video card to provide graphics. Intel Xeon server processors can be used f or a Hackintosh system but require a dedicated graphics card. You may even use a Chromebook if it has an Intel processor listed above. Those processors may be more trouble than they're worth. Intel Centrino and Pentium chips may work but require extra steps which are not explained nor supported, as I have never attempted those. ![]() ![]() Many do have built-in graphics but some do not. If you are not using a dedicated graphics card (desktop only), you can use the Intel CPU's built-in graphics if the CPU has them. In addition to a keyboard, mouse, and monitor for interaction, you will need the following:ĭesktop or laptop with a compatible processor (CPU) - Compatible processors include the following: ![]()
