Hello guys

This morning I made an interesting discovery while playing with the site base44.

I tried to write a guide about the possibility to run systems from high sierra to big sur on mac with merom cpus.

It's possible.

Also i discovered that is possible for those macs to run high sierra natively only booting them up from an usb drive.

I will investigate the process further tomorrow and i'll try to modify it so that could be possible to test it on vmware or on virtualbox.

I'll Keep you up to date as soon as possible.

Stay tuned.
 
Hello guys, i'm back with good news! I've just updated my guide to see if it was possible to test what i discovered on a virtual machine and guess what? It is!

Also according to the document faq it's theoretically possible to use the onboard wi fi card with high sierra and mojave.

Only two caveats: for the virtual machine: you have to have 6 gb of ram on board and an ssd. Furthermore, if you want to tinker with my guide on a real system, I suggest you to use an external drive so that you can modify it without any danger.

I'll keep you up to date with further news

Stay tuned
