Quit wasting time. All need is OpenSUSE Micro OS :-)
This computer is powerful enough to run the normal OpenSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed.
How do you have a updated one Mine has all the old icons
Updated Mac OS? You can install it with the OpenCore legacy patch dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ but note that it's going to be slower because it's not supported officially.
Hi, Is it tuch screen the T440s?
The T440s can be with or without a touch screen (it's optional).
15:30 Why not use the built in "Get Windows 10" program to upgrade?
That's obviously the more logical choice, but I don't know why I did it a different way 8 years ago...maybe I already had the ISO file downloaded or something
@@TheComputerGuy96 I'm just saying, it's more easier to do that this way. Were you worried it wouldn't work, or even worse corrupt the windows 7 install?
You're right, but like I said, these videos are from years ago so I don't remember the details. But I don't think I was worried about that.
That laptop was pretty high tech for it's time tbh
How did you set up your camera in a way that i can't see your reflection on the laptop's screen?
I don't remember. I just tried different positions of the laptop screen before recording.
@@TheComputerGuy96 Did you ever do a face reveal on RUclips or social media? Just asking
Thnx Man working this operation
I remember getting get windows 10 on my Windows 8.1 laptop, but didn't upgrade. I don't regret not upgrading, as a matter of fact during the last few days i had this icon, there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on it, which could mean that my computer didn't meet the requirements to upgrade
If the yellow triangle is on Device Manager, you just have to update your drivers. Windows 8.1 and 10 have the same requirements. The laptop you see in this video and my main laptop today (ThinkPad T440s) were also Windows 8.1 laptops, but Windows 10 runs so much better on them. If it's slow, replace your HDD with a SATA SSD.

what is clover? and how did u install mac?
Clover is a boot loader that allows you to start Mac OS on non-Apple computers. But now it's outdated and it's been replaced by a different boot loader called OpenCore. You can learn about it (and how to use it to install Mac) on this site dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/
What are you gonna do when windows 10 becomes unsupported?
@@hewpow One of the following (I haven’t decided yet): 1. Keep using Windows 10 2. Switch to a Linux distribution 3. Buy a newer computer officially compatible with Windows 11
I put an RX 570 into an equivalent HP from the time, the xw6600, and 1080p 60 is doable. It can also run some modern games quite well if they can run on such old instruction sets.
Try booting linux mint and put the laptop to sleep, just to see if it crashes, most likely its Windows issue not laptop issue. Windows has not been good since Win7 Pro. Personally I run Linux Mint on a ThinkPad x300 from 2009, and it works great, but because of screen bleed I am considering replacing it with T440(s).
I tried Ubuntu 24.04 on this laptop (and also did a video about it). I put it in sleep mode probably a hundred times so far, and it has never crashed.
@@TheComputerGuy96 So windows Issue
Why I am not using Windows anymore, after Windows 7. The stupidity of what used to be semi ok, went off the rocks after Windows 95 second edition.
No go for me. Installed Win11 fine. The OS updates and restarts ok. Then, before I can even disable updates in services, the system has already other updates waiting to be installed on next restart/shutdown (win11 will give only those options, update and restart or update and shutdown). Upon choosing the first, it won't restart into win11 but ALWAYS in recovery UI. Can only restore to the point of the win installation where you have to choose language, keyboard and so on... and the same experience will repeat all over again once you've restored win11. A endless and useless nightmare. So I guess I'll just give up since it looks impossible at this time (maybe some new updates released by MS now are causing this issue.

Maxwell and Pascal don't support metal, if you had a Kepler GPU, then you'll get metal support
The previous GPU that was in this computer (Quadro K600) was Kepler. But it's supported only up to Big Sur, so it wouldn't have worked well on Sonoma anyway. dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/macos-limits.html#gpu-support
@@TheComputerGuy96 So how did you install Sonoma on a 1050 Ti if it only supports up to High Sierra?
@@daviddaniel1001 The video explains it: get the older “Nvidia web drivers” with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, which give you video acceleration but no Metal. I have no idea if there is a similar patch for the Kepler GPU.

How did you Create plop Boot manager to a usb drive?
I didn't. You have to burn the ISO file of Plop Boot Manager to a CD. If it was possible to use a USB drive in legacy mode on this Mac, you wouldn't need Plop at all.
@@TheComputerGuy96 I have same 2009 macbook pro 13" so how can I boot in legacy mode?
@@waqqasrasheed311 It is explained in the video: just boot from a CD or DVD that says "Windows" (even if it's not actually Windows, like Plop). Or see the written guide: tcg96.github.io/win11geforce9400m.html

ciao, volevo dirti che io ho un hp probook 640 g2 e voglio fare il reset premendo il tasto esc e selezionando ripristino e ti volevo chiedere se si può fare anche dopo che ho formattato il pc.
Probabilmente no. Prima di formattare, accendi il pc, apri il menu Start e cerca un'opzione tipo "crea dischi di ripristino" o simile. Così hai i dischi del software originale di HP che puoi usare anche se formatti o cambi il disco rigido.
Why not screen recorder like obs?
Good question. Mainly because I was lazy, but also because I don't have a good microphone for this PC. Screen recording with the included QuickTime Player app works fine.
Do you know by any chance why this workaround with HAL driver didn’t work for macbook 13 late 2009?
No, sorry. If you followed the steps correctly, the Boot Camp drivers should work, and then you just need to update the Nvidia driver.
Thanks man, you are the greatest
Wait, how did you manage to get Mac OS running on a non Apple computer? I thought Apple didn't allow people to dump the ISO
Installing Mac OS on a non Apple computer is possible because they both have Intel processors. It's known as "hackintosh". Apple doesn't want you to do it, but it's not a big deal because it's quite difficult, and it never works as well as Windows or Linux or a real Mac. But it could be a fun challenge if you like messing with computers.
The music makes me feel like I'm doing a mission for some reason
Glad to see older machine get a new life😮
Da quanto tempo che non lo vedevo ahahahahahahah
Loved the video and everything went smoothly besides one thing. When I attempt to install the graphics drivers my system reboots and the drivers never get installed. Would anyone happen to know a fix?
You have to do things in this order: install the Boot Camp drivers, don't reboot, replace MacHalDriver.sys, then reboot, then install the updated graphics drivers.
Would I have to redo the entire windows install from the beginning? I just uninstalled bootcamp, then I reinstalled bootcamp, did not reboot, replaced the driver MacHALDriver.sys with the newer version rebooted and attempted to install the graphics driver however I still am encountering the same issue.
No you don't have to reinstall Windows. But if you're following the steps correctly, unfortunately I don't know what's wrong.
How'd you install drivers?
This T60 has some drivers compatible with Windows 2000. See its drivers page download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/ddfm/T60.html
Is this stereo?
No, the ringtones are mono. They're designed to play from the phone's mono speaker.
Hello, I have a MacBook Pro from mid-2009 with 8 GB of ram, what system do you recommend? I have installed bigsur on an imac from late 2009 and it works quite well, my idea is to use the computer only for the Internet and some office automation, greetings
If Big Sur works quite well on one 2009 Mac, then it should do the same on another one (as long as it has an SSD). Otherwise, High Sierra with dosdude1 patch is the best balance between not too old and not too slow: dosdude1.com/highsierra/
ok, thanks for the response, I will try bigsur since with high sierra the browsers are no longer updated, greetings
Firefox is still getting security updates on High Sierra until September 2024. But it's totally understandable if you want a newer OS.
This video would have been so amazing if u were to do some video testing n game testing,overall your tried but i expected you to do those things because most people buy pc for gaming n videos,and we watch review because to see those things
Thanks for the feedback. I'm not a big gamer. Everyone knows different games and the same model of computer can have different hardware (for example CPU and GPU). This video is obviously not a buyer's guide. To answer your other comment, both the 6000 and 6300 can stream video up to 1080p 60 fps perfectly fine, even with the integrated graphics. I'm not sure about 4K because I don't have a 4K monitor, but it may work if you have a capable enough GPU.
Gaming test pleas
What about your files?
You should always back up your files, but they will not be deleted during the upgrade.
@@TheComputerGuy96 aiit.
@@TheComputerGuy96 is 22.04 stable and not causing people issues now?
Absolutely! Like the version number says, Ubuntu 22.04 is from 2022. It's had plenty of updates these past two years so it's very stable. And it's supported until 2027 (five years after its release).
Which one, wine or Codeweaver Crossover to install Windows apps & games on Linux distribution for support multiple user system wide ?
They're very similar. CrossOver is paid and doesn't have any important features compared to free Wine, so maybe Wine is the better option.
What about Linux anti-cheat gaming ? Does linux distribution work all game if have anti-cheat?
I don't know. As mentioned in the video, I haven't tried any video games on Linux. And even on Windows I've never played a game with anti-cheat (except Valve anti-cheat which works on any OS that can run Steam).

The wallpapers are just image files, so they work on pretty much any OS. The logon background reg file works on Windows 7 only. The OEM info reg file works on Windows 7 or newer.
