How to Install macOS High Sierra on Unsupported Windows Machines

Are you eager to install macOS High Sierra on your unsupported Windows machine? Look no further! This article will guide you through the process, providing step-by-step instructions and tips to ensure a smooth installation.

Before we begin, it is essential to note that APFS should only be used if the target drive is an SSD. Additionally, keep in mind that using APFS will result in the absence of a bootable Recovery partition.

To start, select the disk or partition you want to install on and erase it. Ensure that you use either Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or APFS as the filesystem type.

Next, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu or by double-clicking it in the Utilities window. This will allow you to format your USB drive as OS X Extended (Journaled).

If you intend to perform a clean install, you can skip these steps and install on a volume containing a previous version of OS X. The installer will automatically upgrade your existing operating system.

To create a bootable USB drive, hold down the Option key while turning on your machine and select the drive. When the operation completes, boot your target unsupported Mac off the USB drive.

Once booted, select your USB drive in the Target Volume list and click 'Start Operation.' Ensure that the tool successfully verifies the app before proceeding.

To use the macOS High Sierra Patcher tool, open it and browse for your copy of the macOS High Sierra Installer App. Insert your desired USB drive and format it as OS X Extended (Journaled).

Note that High Sierra detects unsupported mice as standard mice, preventing you from changing some trackpad-oriented settings.

Before installing, make sure to disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) on the system you intend to install macOS High Sierra on. You can do this by booting into your Recovery partition and disabling SIP in the Terminal.

macOS High Sierra is compatible with a range of unsupported machines, including:

* The 2007 iMac 7,1 with a Penryn-based Core 2 Duo CPU upgrade

* Early-2008 or newer Xserve (Xserve 2,1, Xserve 3,1)

* Early-2009 or newer Mac Mini or white MacBook (Macmini 3,1, MacBook 5,2)
