S. Lee Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Was wondering if I can install 10.7.x or 10.8.x on new laptop HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC. Has ivy bridge 3rd gen i7-3610 CPU and 16 gig ram and Nvidia 630 GT switched with Intel HD 4000 video. Tried 10.6.x and all panic kernals on start.... will pay $10 or $20 for full install and mostly working hardware..... I'm a newbie and don't know anything about kexts and Mac related....send me an email or post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 10.8 is possible, 10.6 is too old for ivy bridge. I helped another user install it on his HP ivy bridge i7, he's probably posting a guide soon. He had to swap out the mini PCIe wifi and bluetooth for a compatible one, USB3 and card reader don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
