Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 Tiny - Catalina install possible

[kdolaac]

Hello,

Does anyone know if possible to install Mac OS Catalina on this machine.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 Tiny
Intel Core™ i3-4160T Processor (3M Cache, 3.1GHz),
Intel HD Graphics 4400
16GB Ram
120 SSD Disk

Just would like and advance information, going to research and give it a try.
I think it would be a great Plex server for me.

Thanks

Would be better to post in that thread so other Lenovo owners can share their experience with you.
