MAC on WINDOWS? - shayuken - 04-30-2014
Hey guys,
is there a way to put a mac system onto a windows computer? If yes how does this work?
Greets,

you will probably be able to download the iso and load it onto your system just like you would any other OS just bear in mind you will likely run into driver issues as OSX is built to run on specific hardware so don't expect a great deal of support for other systems.

I'am a mac user, i maybe can help you with this : http://www.macbreaker.com/2014/01/install-osx-mavericks-on-pc-with-niresh.html
As @chmod mentioned you can run into serious props.
Be sure before you start you have to make a decent back-up of your system and documents!!!
Depending on your Bios this manual can be different, i know from friends that HP drivers are conflicting most times.
Good luck.

If there's an OSX install disc like for windows, you could format your HDD and install from that. It's lazy but it's the most successful if the disc exists.

you can use boot cam to run both windows and mac.

You can use bootcamp to run Windows on Mac, but TS is asking for Mac OS on windows solution.
There are some solutions like VMware, but as i know in most cases you will run into probs with most drivers.
In my opinion to run OSX proberly buy a Mac to stay out of probs. And yes on my mac i run everything, OSX, Ubuntu and Windows on my mac thru Parallels Desktop without probs

I use Mac on a regular base and code a lot with Xcode so the price doesnt matter to me :-))

To hell with that, why do they charge you $100 a year to develop applications for their OS seems kinda stupid and counter productive if you ask me, after all your providing a service to their users/OS. Just another example of Apple leaching as much money as possible from customers I guess
