[Guide] Install High Sierra or Mojave on the Dell Optiplex 7010 / 9010 Desktop PC - Revision II

[rhhousehold]

Flashed my other 7010 MT (Mojave) and Metal accelerator HD4000 also working there. I uploaded the zip file to the earlier post for anyone else who has this problem. Thanks again for this guide/forum and @trs96, enjoying the Macs quite a bit - son is happy Roblox/Minecraft now work and I am doing lightweight Premiere video editing, using a 27" 4K LG monitor. The motherboard swap was not bad, now I have a spare

I’m going to upgrade the PSU and install a MSI Radeon RX 570 ARMOR OCV1 4GB GDDR5 PCIe Video Card in my 7010 MT. Do I need to update any clover settings or just install and boot up?

I think you need to mark/check the box of the "RadeonDelnit" box in the graphics section of your config using Clover Configurator

Try reinstalling Lilu/AppleALC kexts (newest ones) to /L/E. That usually fixes the problems. If you have them in /kexts/other folder on the EFI partition update those too. Then reboot once all the kexts are where they should be.

This is why I've advised my readers to stay with Mojave until the .3 update of Catalina. When I've put out an upadated guide for Catalina that will help you get a fully working system. This is a High Sierra/Mojave desktop guide. I'm not sure why everyone is in a hurry to use Catalina when Mojave works perfectly well ??? Is it for sidecar or Apple TV + ?

It’s just for fun . I haven’t used my Catalina 9020 install much yet but everything seems to work. Sound only through DP (no line out), but that is ok for me.

To be fair my main machine is a 7010 with Mojave so I sorta agree with you - not all in yet.

I updated (Audio and sleep not working. And slow boot compared to HS otherwise fine.) mine to get the newest version of Xcode, which is only available on Catalina. But I also keep all my storage files on separate hdd so I can reinstall Catalina immediately when this awesome guide is updated. Thanks for putting in all of the work btw, I highly appreciated it. Build my setup for a couple of hundred bucks here in EU.

Nice work on that. Great bang for the buck/Euro ! I had thought that the latest Xcode also runs on 10.14.6 and that Catalina is not necessary to get that to work.
