Mojave has been available on computers since 2012, covering six years of updates. Recently, support for High Sierra started in 2009, marking roughly ten years of availability. It seems you might be facing compatibility issues, possibly because your device is older than 10 years or you haven't upgraded. (It's free, after all.) Do you think ten years of support is a positive thing? When was the last time you ran a Windows program that hadn't been updated in ten years?
It doesn't matter if MACS struggles with support for a 10-year-old computer, since it can handle the newest Windows updates. There seems to be an issue here.
It's been a while since you tested Windows 10 on an older system. How did it go? Your experience was probably rough—like, really frustrating. You might have faced performance issues or compatibility problems. It's not ideal, especially if you're trying to run something more demanding.
The setup works smoothly on macs and older PCs from 2008 onwards. Make sure your system meets the necessary requirements. If performance is lacking, it’s likely due to storage issues rather than hardware limitations. Installing Windows 10 on a 2009 IMac could deliver better results compared to macOS, and you might even enjoy light gaming on a Mac. Clearly, you’re a tech enthusiast who trusts Apple’s claims—Mojave can run on 2008+ Macs with a patch, and it performs reasonably well. Don’t be surprised if your expectations are high!
And Windows 7 is nearly ten years old, so any machine from 2006 onward should enjoy a solid experience with it.
Someone's a bit biased. I have 10 year old windows laptops that can barely even run the base version of windows 7. And I have 10 year old windows desktops that can run windows 7 ultimate with no issues. It all depends on your system config. Honestly, I really don't see anyone using a 10 year old mac (or any 10 year old computer in general) so I really don't see an issue here.
your right about the config so here is C2D machines that are nearing or already 10 years old that have a good experience on windows 7
I’d choose a laptop instead of an Air model to enjoy a fuller Mac experience. Apple’s trackpads are well-regarded, and their durability plays a big role. You’ll get the best capabilities with the latest hardware you can afford, though anything recent works for a solid general use. I’m using El Capitan and High Sierra on my current setup, and it’s hard to find a flaw in those systems. Macs work well with Windows, and Apple supplies the required drivers, so think about a machine you’d actually use beyond just getting comfortable with macOS. It’ll remain a solid build even if macOS doesn’t meet your expectations.
