Ya, but this was work. I needed to build the installer. It was a windows 10 installer, with the windows 11 win file slipped In. The windows 10 installer does not check the requirements. And with 24 cores and a gtx 1080. It rocks

For instance, office 2019 will now only install on Mojave. It would have worked on high Sierra until Apple pulled support. Thus the ios blocks upgrades from old Mac equipment. Thus I enter and breath life into mac's that would have been landfill bound. And install windows & office and back to production they go.

but... Mojave is an Apple-supported release on the 5,1 Mac Pro.
 
My 5,1 MP is working fine as a file server so it didn’t go to the landfill when it stopped getting updates
Mine will live on as a server when I move on to something new. Whether that's a MacBook or something Windows based idk yet.

I'll be excited to fully migrate it's role to a server. Move it somewhere out of the way, install a bunch of multi TB HDD's into it and be set.
