So, I purchased an HP Elite 8000 (Q8400, 4gb RAM, 256gb SSD, GTX 1030) as there was a pretty straightforward tutorial that I was able to follow in theory. However in PRACTICE, essentially everything is out of date, doesn't work, links point to dead ends, infinite loops, and are essentially unachievable in todays current Macintosh environment.
I'm presently using a late 2011 27 inch iMac to attempt to make the bootable USB key, which I am unable to do, since none of the methods of acquiring the compatible OS's are functional anymore, (No longer available on the app store) and I'm left with seemingly no options at this point. I've managed to make a bootable USB key of High Sierra, but it seems it is not compatible with the machine.
I've been ripping my hair out on and off for months trying whatever I can think of, Am I just wasting my time? Is there ANYTHING I can do, to complete this experiment?
My apologies if I'm missing something wicked simple, I just feel like I'm going in circles, surrounded by dead ends.
Thank you so much in advance, for your time! <3
