Hi, I want to install macOS Catalina and use Xcode in it.
Here are some questions:
1. I checked that my laptop has a dedicated GPU, which is NVIDIA Quadro P5200. Can I use this one instead/with integrated Intel GPU? Does Quadro work in macOS?
(I checked the GPU is dedicated by disabling iGPU in Device Manager. I think it's the right way, but not 100% sure)
2. This model has Intel WIFI. I'm thinking about using this driver. Does it work well? Can I get the built kext? Or is it possible to get required softwares without connecting to the Internet(by using the external drive)? If the driver is bad, can I get a recommendation for external Wifi cards?
3. I am planning to follow this guide. However, there's no explanation about ZBook G5(only ZBook G2 and Probook 4x0 G5.) Is it safe to follow that guide?
4. I remember that previously I should format my whole SSD. Now, can I just create an APFS partition(btw I never used it as my last Mac experience was El Capitan) and use it? I'm sure that my SSD is configured to GPT.
5. I have "Conexant ISST Audio". Does it work in macOS? If not, can I buy an audio interface and use it? I am going to buy a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 if my internal one doesn't work.
6. I realized that the guide says I should disable WOL. Is it unable to use WOL? (actually I am using Wake-On-Wifi)
Partial responses are also welcome, thanks for helping!
