What to Do When macOS Could Not Be Installed on Your Computer?
Contents

Why can’t you install macOS on a PC?

Apple systems check for a specific chip and refuse to run or install without it. … Apple supports a limited range of hardware you know will work. Otherwise, you’re going to have to scrounge up tested hardware or hack hardware into working. This is what makes running OS X on commodity hardware difficult.

What do I do if I can’t reinstall OSX?

First, completely shut down your Mac via the Apple Toolbar. Then, hold down Command, Option, P, and R buttons on your keyboard as you restart your Mac. Continue to keep these buttons held until you hear the Mac startup chime twice. After the second chime, let go of the buttons and let your Mac restart as normal.
