Mac Book Pro 17" - And React OS?

Post by Ozz Nixon »

Has anyone successfully installed the OS on a Mac Book Pro 17"? I need some assistance on doing so.

Thank you kindly -

I believe ReactOS is not ready yet to be install(-able) in a Mac Book because of hardware compatibility issues. I may be wrong though, let's see what developers have to say on this.

Installing on hardware directly or on VM? 1st one will fail for sure because a Mac is not able to boot Windows directly without help of BootCamp. I recommend VBox
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...

Thanks guys! I was excited to try a pure hardware boot... (over zealous) ;-)
