Hello all, I've been looking into installing OSX on an HP Probook 4530s (core i7, Radeon 6490M, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD) and want to make sure the information I am finding is the most relevant and updated as of 2022. I'm new to this, so if anything I'm asking doesn't make sense, please let me know.
For initial installation of OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) from retail disc, is this the best guide still?
I want to use 10.6 for its inclusion of Rosetta for PPC programs, so I don't plan on upgrading past that, at least at first. To make it easier in the future, If I want to update OSX past 10.6, can I make two boot partitions, install 10.6 to both, then upgrade one past 10.6?
Are either of these the best guide for upgrading past 10.6?
Because the laptop comes with the Radeon 6490M, do I need to disable it to use this laptop? Is this the best thread to look at for info on this?
Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can provide!
