I'm sure, today it's not the same program as before, one or other, I was DJ some time when I was younger, but things change after yearsSo from what I've looked up, as soon as Windows forces updates (I don't think services.msc disables all the updates entirely from what I've heard around) it destroys the boot loader. So to combat this, I'm thinking of having a SATA power switch for my MacOS install so I'll just hard power off that drive when I need Windows for any reason. I wish there was a simpler way. I thought that F8 would be the solution, but I'm hearing everywhere that the F8 solution may not work in most cases.
Sadly I'm so comfortable with my Serato workflow. I won't use Serato Pro (again ... if old Serato DJ works with my controller, why upgrade). I DJ for a local radio station and do live to air broadcasts almost weekly plus 2 mix shows a week, so experimenting with what I use in terms of DJ'ing can't be an option sadly. I do hear that Rekordbox is great these days.
... This should give some insight into why I need this machine.
About Windows : updates etc / I didn't mention about other kind of solutions, because it takes too much of time etc... but of course "disabled service" it's not a "only" and best way to do everything what we should need.
It's interesting if F8 still don't solve some kind of problems, maybe with my
new OpenCore config for Catalina - I will find any detail/problem which will give
me a better perspective on this part...
(at this moment I had Halloween gift -little ban for incorrect Signature, too much info, so
It's a good lesson for others - if someone want add too much as me yesterday night - don't do it)
Important thing mentioned by @izo1 about Clover structure, yes I think it's not make any difference at this moment
but when someone try to make 1st OC config, (as me before) and try to build in on few examples from people
who shared some files here - it can be crazy mix , which will not work.
So we can think: I will save time on small modification of someone's config, but
you will really save time if you do your clean config and copy only these informations which
are needed for you.
To get up and running I’ll probably grab a used Sapphire Nitro RX580 (friend of mine has one laying around he’ll part with for under $50 CAD) until I get the funds to do some other upgrades at the same time (NVME etc)
Unfortunately for some of my workflow, Catalina isn’t an option as some of these apps (that don’t have replacements) aren’t 64 bit yet (and may never be to be honest).
RX580 is still great card so if you can get it so cheap - I take it if I were on your place, because even if some day you change GPU on better..., that one can be for 2nd little build
My friend have the same problem with few important apps "32bit only", he started to find any replacement for Catalina
or thinking about writing something alone (for smaller apps)
- but we know it's almost impossible for every case
so I think a lot of people will stay on Mojave for more than 2-3 years until developers create necessary updates.
Personally I only like Sidecar as option (at this moment) so Mojave is and will be great system
as others for longtime, personally I do something on Catalina, but for main-work I use only Mojave,
and I think (in my case) it's never worth to make full transmision on Catalina or any other until 10.15.3.
(At this moment) I prefer spent my free time on OpenCore preparation, a lot of tests etc...
