<< Solved >> Updating my Dual-Boot System from El Capitan to Mojave

[luisini]

Hey guys,

so i have a dual boot system with Win 10 and El Capitan which i built according to the buyers guide (Gigabyte ga-z97x-ud3h; Intel i7; Geforce GTX 1070).
Right now i have both systems on a single 500gb SSD drive. The windows system runs on efi for easier booting. So far it runs very smooth and functional.

Well now i want to update my os x from El Capitan to Mojave, so that i can run the newest version of Logic Pro X. Since I might run out of space on my ssd i think i might need to upgrade and buy a 1TB SSD.

My question now is: How should i perform the update, so that i get the least hassle? Should i first perform a backup (carbon copy etc.) to my new ssd and then run the update to sierra, high sierra and then mojave? Or is there a faster way to directly update to mojave? And since its been a long time since i installed i have no idea which kexts and settings i used. Is there any way to just copy these from my current setup and then paste them into my new one?

Any hints on how i should approach this would be greatly appreciated

Your GTX 1070 will not work in Mojave, there are no drivers.


Please read and comply with the rules, in particular the one regarding profiles.
Link to profile - Just three items - Motherboard (or prebuilt system), Processor (CPU) and Graphics.

Thank you for your reply. I updated my profile and hope it is alright now. I just checked and I made a mistake, i own a 1060. But I guess it doesn't matter since the drivers should be the same. So essentially I either update only to high sierra and get to use my 1060 or i update to mojave and need to use my motherboards output again, as i did before the release of the cuda drivers for el cap?

Yes.

What a bummer. Guess I will wait for the release then. Thanks for your help!

It is most unlikely that there will be a release.

Yeah I just read that people are waiting for one and a half years now... Anyway I think this is solved for now.
