I stupidly got a virus on the W7 I had, since 2012!, and I wanted to update to El Capitan and re-install for W10 through BootCamp. Every time I try to run Bootcamp it tells me it can't detect an install disk. I have ISOs of W7/W8/W10 on my desktop. None work when independently sitting on the Desktop. Upgrade Os X El Capitan; Bootcamp Mac El Capitan; Check compatibility. I’m stuck in Mac OS X 10.8.5 and can’t update to catalina. So i tried to update to El Capitan first to be able to get capitan after that but it’s says my os doesn’t support it When trying to download from the appstore.

I loaded Windows 7 onto my machine through bootcamp, then upgraded to Windows 10, then installed a bunch of software, then restarted into the Mac environment before loading the Bootcamp WindowsSupport files.

Your 2008 MP does not support W10. There are no Apple-certified drivers for W10 on your model as stated in Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support . The only MP which supports W10 is the 2013 Cylinder.

If I set the startup disk to the Windows partition it restarts to a black screen with a blinking cursor, no doubt because the BIOS mediator was not installed.

The BIOS mediator is the EFI firmware on your MP. It does not need to be installed. It was already there when you were running W7.


Everything is there as it is supposed to be as I can see it through the MAC finder... just can't boot into it. AAARGH !!

I thought to boot up with the Windows 10 iso disk and reinstall the OS, but I am afraid I will overwrite everything I loaded or perhaps corrupt the dll's or registry entries.

We can try to resurrect the Windows installation. I presume you have a W7 backup somewhere before you started the W10 upgrade. Is this a single-disk MP? From OSX Terminal, please post the output of

Is it possible to play Genshin Impact on Mac

Developed by miHoYo Limited, Genshin Impact is an open-world role-playing action released almost a month ago. From the beginning, a pair of twins is set to arrive on the land called Teyvat, a fictional place with lots of artifacts and mysteries yet to be unlocked. However, the impact of an unknown god keeps one of them trapped from leaving the place. This is where the adventure begins. Emerge yourself into a magic world full of epic bosses to beat through and reach a long-lost sibling of the main character. Perceive the power of all elements laid down in the world to defeat the most perilous and challenging monsters throughout the game. You can also unite with 3 more players to travel and explore the ubiquitous beauty of Teyvat together. Genshin Impact is a great anime-like video game accompanied by color-saturated graphics attained thanks to the Unity engine. Despite the game can be officially played across PS4, IOS, Android, and Windows for free, we will help extend this list to cover Mac users as well.

Play Genshin Impact on Mac with Parallels

Genshin Impact requires lots of PC resources, but if you have a powerful Mac computer (iMac, iMac Pro, or Mac Pro) Parallels Desktop can be a solution. This is software for Windows virtualization on Mac with the full support of DirectX and GPUs. It allows you to install Windows 10 on Mac with a couple of clicks and switch between MacOS and Windows instantly. You can run Windows just like on a regular PC, install Steam and enjoy the Genshin Impact game on Mac.

Play Genshin Impact on Mac with Vortex.gg or Nvidia Geforce Now

Vortex.gg or Nvidia Geforce Now don’t have Genshin Impact in their catalog yet, however, there are thousands of requests from users to add it. Since it is one of the most popular games, this can be brought to life soon.

If you have an old Mac or it cannot satisfy Genshin Impact game system requirements, there is an easy solution. Cloud gaming provides you sufficient cloud resources for a fixed fee. All you need is a small client program and a good internet connection starting from 15 Mbits/s. There are several great services, that provide such an opportunity, among the best are Vortex.gg and Nvidia Geforce Now. Both services may have Genshin Impact in their game catalog soon, and you can play on any Mac computer (starting from MacOS 10.10) and even Android!

Play Genshin Impact on Mac with BootCamp

This method is simple but time-consuming. If your Mac meets the system requirements above, this is probably the best way to play Genshin Impact for now. You need to set up a dual boot of Windows and Mac via BootCamp. BootCamp allows users to choose the system to work in on startup, however, you won’t be able to switch between systems like in Parallels. You will need to reboot your machine every time you switch from Mac to Windows and vice versa. Remember that Mac is just a computer, that uses common processors, RAM, disks, and other components. So you can install Windows on Mac by allocating disc space of a minimum of 64 Gb (to be able to run Windows and a couple of games). To set up Windows via BootCamp, please, do the following:
