rossi56 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 My build:Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 6GB DDR2 ASUS P5Q Pro MSi Radeon HD7770 GHz Edition In the past I tried to install Mavericks on this machine but wasn't able to with my GPU. I tried following several tutorials but all of which didn't work when it came down to the GPU. Now I am intrigued to try and install OS X again since its now a secondary PC. I'm not sure where to start so I'd appreciate a bit of guidance. I have 10.10.1 downloaded from the App Store and a Mac available to use.

fantomas Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 hi and while you're at it, why just don't download the last 10.10.4.app from App Store?

vusun123 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Your GPU is compatible that's for sure. Although you will have to install a specific kext to fix a problem specific to the latest version of Yosemite and try a few combination of config in order to get it to work properly. The ports you are using are also important too Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/307551-how-could-i-go-about-installing/#findComment-2159735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
