[Guide] El Capitan on the Intel Broadwell NUC

[dw77]

I already have Win 10 installed on my NUC.
Can I create a second partition from Windows and install El Capitan there, following the instructions in this thread? I see the procedure for the other way around in this thread...

OS X is not well behaved with disks partitioned by other than OS X Disk Utility, but there are things you can check/do.

Yes it does. That is one of the models that the guide in the first post of this thread covers.

Hi ammulder,

thanks for the quick answer! Here, however, the user tomchak http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/167491-nuc5i7ryh-wrong-system-profile-2.html asks the same question myself and being told not to buy because it is not working. But you make sure to buy me?

Correct, the graphics were awful under 10.10.3 (Yosemite). You need to install El Capitan. If you follow the guide in the first post it should work fine.

Finally found a solution for the problem with rebooting after shut-down:

Use CloverConfigurator and in the ACPI-Section hook "FixShutdown" and "HaltEnabler" on.
(Maybe it will work without "HaltEnabler", I haven`t tried it)

BIOS settings as "ammulder" (btw, thanks for this great guide!) recommended.

My Config:

- BIOS v353
- OS X 10.11.3

One step further to a perfect Mac Mini clone.

EDIT: I`m using a NUC5i5RYH

OK, I added a note about those shutdown settings for BIOS 0353 in the first post.

Thanks, I didn´t get it to work, will try with a clean install and then reinstall Windows.
That would be easier?
Now I´m mostly curious to why the NUC all of a sudden refuses to boot from the USB, it worked like ten times, but all of a sudden it refuses to boot, didn't change anything in the BIOS and can´t see anything wrong there...

 

[ammulder]

Two options: there's a setting in the BIOS to "always boot USB devices first" that you can use, otherwise the F10 hotkey to select a boot device and then select your USB drive.

I know, but it still doesn´t work, maybe the USB stick got corrupt, will try to make a new one.

Addition to the solution for the problem with rebooting after shutdown on BIOS v353:
After running a number of tests, it seems to just set "FixShutdown" in config.plist/Clover Configurator is enough.
BIOS settings a mentioned.
