The next step is creating the installer on a USB stick that allows you to install on the PC hardware.

Using this you can install 10.6.3 and update to 10.6.8 which allows access to the App store, you log in and down load Mavericks using your Apple ID. iBoot acts like a life support system between Snow Leopard, designed to run on older hardware and the newest Haswell spec stuff that you own. You can use Snow Leopard retail and iBoot has well (available from the downloads section). Mavericks will be the best option for you. We are working on HD 4400 graphics right now - things are close to going for final testing, so a real ease is imminent (next couple of weeks hopefully all going well). Technically your hardware will run on Mountain Lion 10.8.5, but you will probably need to add a GPU. Make sure that you can use a digital HDMI/DVI type connection to your monitor from your motherboard. There is a great deal of information that can be found here.
#Msi h81m e34 multibeast Patch#
You are going to need to patch the BIOS of your MSI H81 board before you start in order that you can install OS X on your hardware.Īs you are probably reasonably new I recommend spending plenty time reading some of the threads and exploring the site. You can buy a copy from Apple directly - see our buyers guide for the link in the Operating systems section: You need to use a genuine retail version of Snow Leopard, the grey disks that Apple supplied with hardware only worked on that hardware. The MSI boards are in need of more work to get running, although yours has I believe ALC887 audio codec and Realtec ethernet - so far so good. I'd appreciate any help and recommendations, and even just a quick "can/can't." I know Gigabyte is the standard for mobos, from my research, but is it possible with my specs? (older 07 imac) if I need to buy an upgrade, but I also have the original 10.6 install disc that came with my macbook, way back from 2008. HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB (plan to upgrade and add a SSD when I can afford!)Īs far as the initial install, I have access to my dad's comp. RAM: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2x4) DDR3-1600 It's verging on nitpicking, but I'm going back to school soon and I'm majoring in the language, so I need to be able to read and write on my PC with ease-Windows 7 makes it hard to read kanji, and input is really counter-intuitive compared to OSX. In fact, one of the main reasons (and it seems silly) I don't think I can stick with Windows in the long run is the terrible job Windows seems to have with displaying Japanese fonts, and text in general. Windows 7 is alright, but I really find myself missing OSX. I recently completed my first ever PC build, which was a small victory in and of itself! I put together a pretty decent but good-price-for-performance machine, as my 08 macbook finally kicked the bucket in the past month and I needed/will use this desktop.
