#MAC HIGH SIERRA 10.13.6 MANUAL UPGRADE#
From there, the user can hit upgrade, interact with any prompts such as AC power missing etc and then the upgrade kicks in, restarts and completes after a few minutes. This tool simply instigates a comparison between the existing firmware and the version included within the supplied executable. I understand this is used with a variety of other manufacturers too including Lenovo for some devices.
Regardless, the customer was given a single executable which when launched ran an interactive utility called the Insyde Flash Firmware utility.

These particular devices are well integrated with the firmware in that some of the software that runs on them can be part configured through the BIOS/UEFI setup utility. In the absence of online updates being available my customer had contacted Getac and obtained a firmware update. The devices I was working with were Getac RX10’s and they look something like this. That’s all good and fine when you’re using the major vendors such as Dell, Hp and Lenovo but sometimes things can get a little more ‘exotic’ when using low volume or specialised devices.
#MAC HIGH SIERRA 10.13.6 MANUAL WINDOWS 10#
The project I was working on was a Windows 10 upgrade and as part of that upgrade, as any good desktop admin knows, we should be updating the BIOS/UEFI firmware as part of any operating system upgrade.
As far as other specs go, I have 4G RAM, and a Slimtype DVD, which also attempted to use to boot.I did some work recently with an organisation who use specialised ‘tough’ tablets from a company named Getac. I used the speccy tool but it couldn't telll me the motherboard manufacturer and listed it as Lenovo, but I think it's OK because I think it has the same motherboard as other G460s and they all can run OSX.
#MAC HIGH SIERRA 10.13.6 MANUAL HOW TO#
As far as other specs like motherboard, I'm not sure how to find it out. My USB drive is a Seagate, but it's really old, like from 2001, so I don't know if that makes any difference. As far as the boot USB, I used a real Mac desktop to create it. How do I go about doing that? Is it possible without being able to enter Windows? Because if not, I think I'm screwed here. I emailed a person who sells premade hackintoshes here in China, and they said I need to modify the kernel. The CPU is Intel P6000, which may be the problem. As far as other system specs that I'm aware of, I think I told you everything I know. On the OEM Debug menu, it says InsydeH20 version Calpella03.0213. Yeah, my BIOS doesn't look anything like that. I'm pretty sure that's a windows file, so hopefully I don't need that for the hackintosh. But the installer still won't load and now I get this message saying BOOTMGR not found. I guess it worked because Windows won't boot anymore (I don't really care because this is an old laptop and I don't mind if I brick it even). I tried some different things to just reformat the whole harddrive and wipe windows. I hit F10 at startup and selected the USB HDD from the boot menu, but then Windows just starts loading.

I also tried the retail install with Unibeast and had no luck either with that method. Could that be affecting it? I don't know what SMART is really. They have been reformatted according to instructions, but I noticed something at the bottom of Disk Utility that said SMART system not supported on the harddrive and I read elsewhere that SMART needs to be enabled in the BIOS. They are both pretty old, so I don't know if that makes a difference, or if I need to use an actual flash drive for some reason (USB HDD should work right?). All I have are external HDDs with 60 and 120 GBs respectively. Also are there any specifications for the USB drive that you need to use to make the boot disk? It says to use a pen drive with 8 GB or more. I already have Windows 7 installed on the HDD, could that be blocking it somehow? Do I need to install it on a completely unused hard drive? I made a partition with around 150 GB on it. There are only one or two recommended BIOS settings I don't have access to, such as the 64-bit graphic something or other. I also enabled Intel Virtual Technology (should be enabled, right?). It allows for me to change to AHCI, enable Legacy USB, and change the boot order. It's InsydeH20 3.5, which I believe is the latest one. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
