Why can’t a macOS be installed in a Windows computer?

macOS, also known as Mac OS X, is a proprietary operating system developed and maintained by Apple Inc. for use on Apple’s Macintosh computers. This operating system is not designed to be installed on non-Apple hardware, such as a Windows computer. This is because macOS is specifically built to work with Apple’s hardware and software ecosystem, and is therefore not compatible with the hardware and software of a Windows computer. Additionally, Apple has put in place technical and legal restrictions to prevent macOS from being installed on non-Apple hardware.

Why can’t a macOS be installed in a Windows computer?

Apple don’t want that to happen.

Not because they want to extract more money from hardware sales (Apple hardware is actually cheap for the quality you get anyway), not because they wouldn’t sell OS X as a product if they could.

It’s really simple: they did the math on the support costs of random third party hardware, and the numbers came up “nope”.

Apple actually did this long before OS X was a thing; for a short while you could actually get a licensed non-Apple MacOS computer.

But the support costs killed it.

To actually do this and make money, they’d have to sell OS X for a couple of thousand dollars, or maybe a subscription at about $50/month. That’s to pay for the three or four thousand developers and ten or so thousand support people they’d have to hire to deal with all the random crap hardware out there.

And it still wouldn’t meet their quality targets anyway.

So how can Microsoft do it?

They get the OEMs and hardware manufacturers to deal with most of it. Which they mostly do badly, but people have somehow become used to the resulting mess.

Making the OS itself free does mean that they don’t want people to install it on third party hardware because that would mean zero profits from the extra user (unless they use services such as iCloud in a premium fashion — more than just what’s given free).

I guess that makes the hackintoshing phenomenon an issue. Now, when the support for the last Intel based Mac ends hackintoshing will be a real issue (I mean, some explicitly limit themselves to High Sierra because of some NVidia GPUs that aren’t supported on newer versions at all…). But for now, if you have good, compatible hardware, you can reap the benefits just fine.

I am currently a hackintosher but intend to get an actual MacBook Pro (Intel based) soon. Wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t get a good hackintosh. So I’d say, don’t fight those who try it out like this and then migrate to actual Apple products, since that’s actually a profit vector. Only fight those that do it despite that.

The better question to ask is “How does Linux do it?”. You can find drivers for most of “the random crap hardware out there”… You can “google yourself” the support for most of the issues you’d run into, unlike Windows, etc. Support is a “thing” mostly for corporate users. Companies need someone to sue in case they’d somehow lose a penny because of hw/sw issues.

Using Windows would be much better than hackintoshing. Windows has its issues, it is not as reliable as macOS. However, Windows is much more flexible than macOS. It is much more programmer friendly than macOS. Most of the advantages of macOS will cease to exist once you take it out of the integration with Apple hardware.

You can, not so easily, run the OSX on a windows machine as you would run a second version of windows or Linux or any other OS. My current machine has around 4 different OS in 2 drives. The machine was originally assembled keeping in mind running it on OSX, endearingly known by the community as Hackintoshs. I did run an OSX version of Snow Leopard for a few months but didn’t have much use of it as I already own a MacBook Pro. A fun project but not without hastles.

Also, I did shift my 10+ year old MacBooks drive into the machine, before writing this reply, just for fun. Given the changes over time, the OSX failed to recognise half the peripherals which is solvable, but would need a lot of work.

You can. Such computers are called a “Hackintosh.” The procedure is totally unsupported, but I suppose it can save the user some money, when it works.

It’s not that it can’t. It’s a violation of the end-user license. If you’d like to give a try, just google out Hackintosh. I am not aware of any prosecution if you do. Definitely nothing like the infamous Microsoft initiated BSA raids on companies and individual users.

    I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro that I got refurbished in 2020. Went to turn it on yesterday and there was no response, nothing to indicate the battery was dead or any other problems, entirely unresponsive. This has happened before a few years ago where it went dead for months then suddenly started working again. Does anyone have any insight or anything? I’ve tried using the advice online to force start it but it’s still unresponsive. Last time I went to apple for advice they couldn’t offer much help due to it being a ‘vintage model.

I have the last location pin as about an hour from the hotel(near a grocery store with Starbucks so free wifi?). It is password protected but I’m wondering if there’s anyway they can wipe it/get into it around the password? Like if they were really smart with Apple computers. I did find one for sale on craigslist that matched mine exactly except for the serial number(from the ‘about this Mac’ screen), from reading online though it sounds like the serial number can be changed?

    Good morning all! I own this machine that I am fond of and I have no intention of changing it: iMac 18,3 2017 - 27" 5k Intel Core i7 quad-core 4.2Ghz AMD Radeon Pro 575 4GB 1 Tb Fusion Drive (blade 32gb + 1 Tb + HD 7200) RAM DDR4 SO-DIMM 16 Gb 2400 MHz x 4 I'm planning an update soon so that I'm also "ready" for Sequoia. The advice I would like, please, are SSD: I want to replace the blade with a 1/2Tb NVME, is a Samsung 990 pro NVME worth it or would it still be limited regardless? (For the second disk, if I mount the 2 TB NVME as main, I could leave the current one, 1 TB "original Apple" solid disk) Thermal paste: CPU and GPU, which one is the best in the market? Opening everything up and taking the years into consideration... I take this opportunity. RAM: I saw that there are some 2666 MHz RAM cards... is my current setup (16Gbx4 - 2400mhz) okay or could I benefit from still maintaining 64Gb but with 2666mhz cards? I've seen some 126Gb configurations (32Gb x 4 - 2666mhz) and... Are there any other interesting updates in your opinion? Increased cooling system or something else I could consider?

  • Did I get a bad Magic Mouse? Too much friction makes swiping difficult
    by /u/sprockervp (Mac) on July 26, 2024 at 8:57 am

    I have always used the trackpad and just bought the Magic Mouse to try out. I find it incredibly uncomfortable to do swipe gestures on it. Even just scrolling is unpleasant. The glass surface generates so much friction - nothing like the smooth feeling of my fingers on a trackpad. Swiping between screens with two fingers sideways is near impossible for me (after some practice it works, but I hate it). Is this normal? Is this just how the mice surface is? Do you get used to this? And the shape is so small! I decided to try it because my hand starts hurting after using the trackpad for a longer period. I can't imagine this helping though, with so much space between my palm and the mouse. I have some ergonomic mice from when I used windows, but I really will miss the trackpad gestures. submitted by /u/sprockervp [link] [comments]

    by /u/Mumbles1988 (Mac) on July 26, 2024 at 5:57 am

    Wondering if anyone can help me with reinstalling the OS on this late 09 iMac. I completely wiped it, didn’t realize I didn’t have a copy of the OS which… I thought I could install from this page, when connected to the Internet, it gives an error when I try to, install High Sierra. Long-term, I was hoping to actually get it up to the current update or switch it to a different OS completely, but I can’t get past the launch page. I’ve tried to put High Sierra on a thumb drive, but I’m not sure where to go from there and I’m wondering if the thumb drive has to be completely empty otherwise. I haven’t flashed any devices or done any OS installations since like… The note 3 was old enough to use Odin on…. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m guessing that since I’m a complete idiot and this is an end user error, I either completely screwed up or there’s a really easy solution. submitted by /u/Mumbles1988 [link] [comments]

  • The Best Macintoshes Ever Made
    by /u/zoogle15 (Mac) on July 25, 2024 at 10:13 pm

    A few days ago member u/Totallyrealyamumreal posted here asking what the best Mac ever made was. I took the assignment too seriously and ended up with a big list of Macs by generation. I hope that Mac lovers here will enjoy this list & walk down memory lane. I’m looking forward to comments and disagreements from the community. Without further ado! The Best Macintoshes Ever Made!!! TL; DR - the best Mac Apple has ever made is the 2023 MacBook Pro 16” M3 Max - it is the ultimate in portability and power. The M3 Max is faster than the Mac Studio M2 Ultra in many tasks for much less money in the same configuration. Battery life is amazing. Performance exceeds every portable Apple ever made. It is plenty powerful enough to take on demanding workloads, including RAW photo editing, 8K video editing, & 3D modeling. It is compatible not only with Mac apps, but also with millions of apps for iPhone & iPad. Though gaming isn’t as simple as a Steam Deck, it’s more than powerful enough to run thousands of games through Rosetta, Whiskey, Crossover, emulators for all major consoles, and even every generation of PC using tools like 86box & UTM. LONG FORM LIST OF THE BEST MACS BY GENERATION Peak Apple Silicon M-Series CPUs: Apple’s move to ARM CPUs in 2020 brought amazing performance and battery life improvements, especially to the MacBook Air line of computers. In addition the new MacBooks gained compatibility with many iPhone and iPad applications. Shipping with Rosetta 2 most 64-bit Intel Mac apps made from 2006 to 2020 will still continue to run on Apple Silicon Macs 2023 MacBook Pro 16” M3 Max - the ultimate in portability and power. Faster than the M2 Ultra in many tasks (x) 2024 MacBook Air 15” M3 - the ultimate in lightweight portability and battery life, a fanless design keeps this machine silent without major sacrifices in power 2023 Mac Studio M2 Ultra - the ultimate Mac desktop performance 2023 Mac Pro M2 Ultra - the same great performance as the Mac Studio, but with massive expandability Peak Intel 64-bit: The Intel Macs have the largest legacy of compatible software. Most software made from 2006 until 2020 will run on these machines. They are also the last Macs that can dual boot into Windows 10 & 11 for Windows apps and games running natively on the hardware 2019 16” MacBook Pro i9 2.4Ghz - for portable power & a dedicated AMD 3D GPU 2020 i7 MacBook Air i7 1.2Ghz - for lightweight portability (*) 2019 27” 5K iMac i9 - Apples most upgradeable 5K Intel iMac; upgrade the RAM to 128gb, 8tb+ NVME SSD drive, plus an internal hard drive up to 20tb (*) 2019 Mac Pro Xeon 28-core 2.5Ghz - with up to a 28-core Xeon CPU and up to dual exotic AMD workstation graphics cards this Mac tower can push 50+ gigaflops of 3D GPU power and boot into Windows too (x) Peak Intel 32-bit compatible: macOS Mojave (10.14) was the last version of macOS that supported backwards compatibility with 32-bit Mac Apps. Thousands of Mac games and apps made from 2006 to 2019 were abandoned when Apple transitioned to 64-bit only 2019 15” MacBook Pro 15” i9 - for portable power & a dedicated 3D GPU 2019 13” MacBook Air i5 1.6Ghz - for lightweight portability 2019 27” 5K iMac i9 - same great model as above! (*) 2012 Mac Pro Dual Xeon 6-core 3.16Ghz - the famous “cheese grater” Mac tower upgradable to dual 6-core Xeon CPUs and a variety of GPUs this is definitely the most upgradeable flexible Mac Desktop of the decade (x) Peak PPC Rosetta compatible Macs: When Apple launched Intel Macs in 2006 it included a compatiblity layer to run 2001 to 2006 PowerPC Mac OS X apps. Apple eventually abandoned this with macOS Snow Leopard (10.6.8) killing off the ability to use PPC apps in future Intel-based Macs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software) 2011 17” MacBook Pro i7 (early-2011) - this was the last year of the 17” MacBooks and the first year of Intel quad core hyper-threaded CPUs in a MacBook. Unfortunately the Nvidia GPUs for this year are known for failures (*) 2010 13” MacBook Air Core 2 Duo 2.13Ghz - a light weight but very weak dual-core machine not in remotely the same class as the MacBook Pro 2011 27” iMac i7 - this was the most powerful iMac of the era and can still be used today with OCLP. It is also considered problematic today because its GPU is not Metal compatible 2010 Mac Pro - functionally the same motherboard and CPU compatibility as the 2012 Mac Pro tower. Up to dual 6 core - 12 thread Xeon GPUs (x) Peak PowerPC Macs & ”Classic Environment” MacOS 9: Apple switched to Mac OS X in 2001. It originally shipped with a built in “Classic Environment” that would boot Mac OS 9 inside of a type of virtual machine and allow you to run Classic Mac apps on Mac OS X. The last version of Mac OS X to have a classic environment was Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) 2005 17” PowerBook G4 1.67Ghz (Double Layer SD) - fast & portable laptop (x) 2005 20” iMac G5 2.1Ghz (iSight) - the fastest all-in-one PPC Mac 2005 Power Mac G5 dual G5 2.5Ghz (late 2005) - this was the most powerful PPC Macintosh ever made. The design of the “cheese grater” G5 Power Mac was iconic, easily upgradeable, and continued until the 2013 Mac Pro trash can (x) Peak PowerPC Macintosh running “Classic” Mac OS 9: In 2001 Apple shipped the new and completely revised Mac OS X 10.3 with their new machines. While it was a very very exciting time, it also marked the end of Macs that were compatible with the classic Mac OS having roots and some compatibility all the way back to the original 1984 Macintosh. Though many apps made the transition to Mac OS X using a framework called Carbon, thousands of “Classic” Mac apps were no longer able to run natively on newer Macs. These were the fastest Macs ever made that can boot “Classic” Mac OS 9 2002 PowerBook G4 1Ghz - fastest laptop 2002 iMac G4 800Mhz (flat panel) - many people loved this floating-arm sunflower-like design (x) a runner up would be the 2001 iMac G3 700Mhz - the fastest of the original “lickable” iMac gumdrop design that brought standard USB, Firewire, video editing, DVD playing, CD-burning, iPods, and the iTunes Music Store to Mac users 2003 Power Macintosh G4 dual 1.25Ghz (mirrored drive doors) - the fastest tower Mac with OS 9 compatibility Peak 68K Classic Mac OS 8.1 & Mac OS 7.6.1: While Apple had an emulation layer that allowed most 68K Apps to run on PPC Macs; some older Macintosh titles could only run through special compatibility modes found on 68030 & 68040 Macintoshes 1995 PowerBook 190cs 33mhz - fastest portable 68K Mac 1993 Macintosh Quadra 840AV 40mhz - this was the most powerful 68040 Mac and came with AV inputs for video editing (x) 1995 Macintosh LC 580 33mhz - was the best all-in-one “iMac style” 68040 Mac Other iconic Macs: * 1989 Macintosh SE/30 68030 16mhz - the penultimate version of the original Macintosh design. This was amazing to see running with a 20” B&W monitor doing 2-page desktop publishing in 1991! () * 1990 Macintosh IIfx 68030 50mhz - screaming speed and amazing upgradability (unlike the original Macintosh), the Macintosh II line were the first “color” Macs, very cheap starting at about $10K (x) * 1991 PowerBook 170 68030 25mhz - co-designed with Sony, this was Apple’s first true laptop * 1993 Macintosh Color Classic II - was the last revision of the original iconic Macintosh design (x) * 1993 Macintosh TV 68030 32mhz - came in black with a TV tuner * 1995 Power Macintosh 8500 PPC 604 120mhz - this second generation PowerPC Macintosh shipped with the new powerful 604 variant of the PPC chips. It is the spiritual successor to the Quadra 840AV and it also shipped with a built in video capture functionality () * 1997 Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh PPC 603e 250mhz - this was an iconic Macintosh with a modernist design and Bose speakers, performance was mid-range for the time but quickly eclipsed by the 1998 iMac, cheap at $7.5K including white glove home setup! (x) * 1998 iMac G3 233mhz - The original bondi blue iMac that marked Apple’s resurgence after Steve Jobs return in 1997, it also introduced the transition from legacy ports to a future with USB for high-speed plug and play peripherals () * 1999 iBook G3 366mhz - this was Apples modern era affordable laptop that Apple used to launch WiFi 802.11b on the Mac. Prior to this all Macs required expensive WiFi adapters or to simply be plugged into Ethernet * 2000 PowerBook G3 500mhz (Firewire) - this curvy black beast was considered Apple’s sexiest and most flexible laptop for a long time () * 2000 Power Mac G4 Cube 500Mhz - this was a G4 in an iconic compact “toaster” design. Even at launch it wasn’t going to win any performance awards. A precursor to the Mac mini * 2005 12” PowerBook G4 1.5ghz - this small aluminum laptop was a compact powerhouse (x) * 2005 Mac mini G4 1.42Ghz - the first hyper-affordable PPC Macintosh costing only $499 (bring your own monitor and keyboard) * 2005 17” eMac G4 1.42Ghz looked like an oversized original iMac in white with a CRT * 2013 MacBook Pro 15” (Retina 15-inch Late 2013) i7 2.6ghz - the move to Retina screens was truly revolutionary. It’s hard to go back to anything less. This slim redesign of the MacBook Pro with an amazing quad core i7 CPU & Nvidia 3D graphics was a seriously powerful portable that is still great for a daily driver in 2024. Upgradable with NVME SSD drives () * 2013 Mac Pro Xeon 12-core 2.7Ghz - the “Trash Can” Mac was powerful at launch and is still powerful today for many tasks; As a pro machine without any upgrade slots only Thunderbolt accessories and chassis worked with this machine. Many Pros stuck to their 2009-2012 Mac Pro towers for this reason * 2020 13” MacBook Air M1 16gb - the iconic original wedge MacBook Air design with exceptional performance and all-day battery life.

    by /u/edgypeach420 (Mac) on July 25, 2024 at 9:21 pm

    My university has a surplus warehouse that sells used items they don’t need anymore. They posted this list of macs for sale. I’m not a knowledgeable computer person…Could I get a recommendation on a good quality deal? I’m a geology student that would be using it for programs such as R, Matlab, and Adobe suite (specifically illustrator). I’m not a gamer so graphics aren’t important. Just looking to process data at an efficient speed. Thanks in advance 🙂 submitted by /u/edgypeach420 [link] [comments]

  • Is anyone else experiencing this in the last day?
    by /u/General-Realistic (Mac) on July 25, 2024 at 9:10 pm

    Just yesterday my Mac started giving me this error. I don’t understand why as it worked just fine the previous day and when I restart the computer it works perfectly again. I didn’t think much about it afterwards because the “unplug it, plug it back in” trick worked, but just now I opened my Mac up and again had the same error occur. It’s weird because all day yesterday after I restarted the computer I didn’t run into this at all but this morning it pops up. I checked for an update and tried looking online but can’t find why this has happened. Any information would be great and wondering if I am not the only one this is happening to submitted by /u/General-Realistic [link] [comments]
