Jan 15, 2019 Back up your Mac, download macOS 10.13 and upgrade your macOS according to the instructions in order to avoid undesirable errors and data loss. CleanMyMac X One app for all Mac issues.
Last year when the Kaby-lake processor was released, I immediately bought myself a fresh Dell 7000 Inspiron laptop and immediately wanted to install the macOS Sierra. Why? because I wanted to learn and use Apple’s Video editing software – the FCP X. There are few other applications that are exclusively available for macOS. Also, macOS is fluid, smooth, and blends well with my laptop.
I wasn’t aware of the challenges that were associated with the installation of macOS on a different hardware which is not designed for macOS. Especially when your laptop has a new generation processor. But I had decided, so I took my Windows laptop and started my research and learned how I can get started. Long story short, it took me a month to get it installed on my new generation laptop with the help of Rehabman on Tonymacx86 and other community members. Also, it was a tiring job and I had no access to a machine running macOS. But you don’t worry coz you don’t need to go through all the learning and experimental stuff as today in this guide I will show you how you can install the latest macOS 10.13.5 on your Windows laptop or PC which is powered by an 8th Generation Coffee Lake processor without a Macbook.
