Hello Friends, I just received the mac ive always wanted the infamous Black Macbook!!!! I was just wondering what you guys thought i should do to it, Option 1: Snow Leopard/Windows XP dual boot, Option 2: Lion/Windows 7 Dual Boot, Option 3: El Capitan/Windows 10 Dual boot. I have patched El Capitan to work on it and just wanted to know your guys opinions. The specs are Core 2 Duo,6gb Ram , and a 320gb or 500gb Harddrive (Which ever i can Find around my House LOL)
Thanks,
Mason Dulemba

Funny you should start this post, just been given a 2008 (white) MacBook. It's the Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz (MacBook 4,1)

It was stuck on the blank white screen when powering on, this was due to the Hard Drive being dead.

My plans are the following:

  • 120gb SSD (just ordered for £24.99)
  • Upgrade Memory from 2gb to 4gb (found for £19.99)
  • Replace Battery (totally dead won't charge (£18)

Was thinking El Captain but not sure how it will run?

With Windows 10 how will this work? Is it through Bootcamp?
