Not sure what the procedure is on an Apple Silicon Mac, though. Last Mac I had was Intel based.

 

[Joe]

I installed windows on a mac pro 2012 and it works well.

 

[Joe]

but that old a machine doesn't permit windows 11 cuz it lacks an EFI chipset.

And a TPM.

 

[Joe]

So I bought 2019 mac pro to run windows 11, 12 or whatever MS releases in the future.

 

[Joe]

anyways, thanks for the info @Mr. Wednesday

 

[Joe]

Maybe you know all about installing windows on macs?

 

[The Associate]

Some. Not all. And only on Intel-based Macs.

 

[The Associate]

My last Apple was a 2018 iMac.

 

[Joe]

interesting.

I'd probably go back to using a Mac -- if I could afford to. Which I can't. lol

Anyways @RANCIDMILKO ™ ®© I'm goin out for a walk. It's actually sunny in Vancouver today. Gotta enjoy the sun while it's out cuz we get so little of it in Vancouver. Rains all the time, eh.

see ya joe

Yeah Macs are expensive @Mr. Wednesday . I bought a cheap M1 Silicon Mac, wasn't impressed tho. The old intel macs seemed better. As long as you can snag an intel mac that still runs their latest OS X that might be a better option. I dunno. some mac users swear by the new technology, but isn't fer me.

Er, who the fuck would install Windows 11 on a Mac? Why?

 

[Joe]

Oh hi @Reggie_Essent !

 

[Joe]

how ya doin?

 

[Joe]

yeah I got windows 7 & 10 installed on a 2012 Mac Pro.

 

[Joe]

I think that's what @RANCIDMILKO ™ ®© should get. They're $250-500 US & he could install multiple OS's on em including linux on separate hard drives.

 

[Joe]

it cant run windows 11 tho. except for using an emulator like Parallels.

 

[Joe]

but they're good for cheap thrills & are backwards compatible. Can even run Windows peripherals.

 

[Joe]

maybe it's more expensive in Brazil but the us and Canada those computers are selling for cheap
