ぁ Ꭷbito- Posted December 26, 2023 Posted December 26, 2023 Martin Nobel now has a 2008 MacBook Pro with Windows 10 Mobile Microsoft's operating system ended support in December 2019 Someone has managed to get Windows 10 Mobile working on an old MacBook Pro. The feat is quite curious because we are talking about two very different platforms. Apple computers at that time were designed to run macOS and Microsoft's operating system, for its part, was compatible with smartphones and phablets. But for a 22-year-old technology fan, the aforementioned has not been an impediment. Martin Nobel, which is the young man's name, has published a video on his YouTube channel in which you can see Windows 10 Mobile starting with its classic blue tiles on a MacBook Pro with an Intel processor from late 2008. Windows 10 Mobile on a 2008 MacBook Pro This isn't the first time we've seen Windows running on a Mac. This has been an official possibility for a long time thanks to Boot Camp, a multi-boot utility and wizard that allowed you to run Microsoft operating systems on Apple computers. And we say allowed because this possibility disappeared with the arrival of Apple Silicon. Well, Nobel has not used Boot Camp or an officially supported system. Their choice has been Windows 10 Mobile, which has resulted in an increase in the difficulty of achieving their goal. As explained in a blog post, it all started with downloading a Windows 10 Mobile x86 VHD image from Visual Studio 2015. The next step was to use PowerISO to create a boot drive with the aforementioned VHD image using a SATA disk. Then you have made some changes to the Windows registry to prevent Windows 10 Mobile from crashing. The last thing has been as simple as replacing the MacBook disk with the SATA disk with the image. https://www.xataka.com/ordenadores/puse-windows-phone-macbook-insolito-experimento-aficionado-sistema-operativo-microsoft
