Install macOS Catalina on VirtualBox on Windows PC Install macOS Catalina on PC – Hackintosh. If installing macOS on VMware or VirtualBox doesn’t satisfy you, installing macOS on PC might do. While installing those methods were on Windows PC but not actually as Hackintosh which works as dual boot. '2018 Mac mini: As of 10-18-19, not recommended with 10.15 Catalina' 'Tests are ongoing, but at this time, if you are running a 2018 Mac mini with an eGPU like the Helios FX, on 10.13.4 High Sierra – 10.14.6 Mojave, and you are not experiencing any issues, it may be a good idea to delay your upgrade to macOS 10.15 Catalina for the time being.'

The MacBook Pro 'Core i7' 2.3 15-Inch (Dual Graphics - Late 2013 Retina Display) features a 22 nm 'Haswell/Crystalwell' 2.3 GHz Intel 'Core i7' processor (4850HQ), with four independent processor 'cores' on a single silicon chip, a 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 16 GB of onboard 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM (which cannot be upgraded later), 512 GB of PCIe-based flash storage, and dual graphics processors -- a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and an integrated Intel Iris 5200 Pro graphics processor with 128 MB of 'Crystalwell' embedded DRAM (and shared system memory). It also has an integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam and a high-resolution LED-backlit 15.4' widescreen 2880x1800 (220 ppi) 'Retina' display in a case that weighs just less than 4.5 pounds (2.02 kg). It does not have an internal optical drive.
Connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, two USB 3.0 ports, two 'Thunderbolt 2' ports, an HDMI port, an audio in/out port, and an SDXC card slot.
In addition, this model has a backlit keyboard, a 'no button' glass 'inertial' multi-touch trackpad, a 'MagSafe 2' power adapter, and an internal, sealed battery that provides an Apple estimated 8 hours of battery life.
Compared to its predecessor, this model has effectively the same external enclosure, but it has a more efficient processor and architecture -- which results in improved battery life -- as well as faster storage, Wi-Fi, and connectivity.

| Processor Speed: | 2.3 GHz | Processor Type: | Core i7 (I7-4850HQ) |
| Details: | This model is powered by a 22 nm, 64-bit 'Fourth Generation' Intel Mobile Core i7 'Haswell/Crystalwell' (I7-4850HQ) processor which includes four independent processor 'cores' on a single silicon chip. Each core has a dedicated 256k level 2 cache, shares 6 MB of level 3 cache, and has an integrated memory controller (dual channel). This system also supports 'Turbo Boost 2.0' -- which 'automatically increases the speed of the active cores' to improve performance when needed (up to 3.5 GHz for this model) -- and 'Hyper Threading' -- which allows the system to recognize eight total 'cores' or 'threads' (four real and four virtual).

# Native nVidia GPUs
#Kepler Series (GTX 6xx, 7xx)
# Highest Supported OS: Current/Big Sur(11)
# Initial Supported OS: Mountain Lion(10.8)
Currently the only 100% native Nvidia architecture that works with macOS 11, Big Sur. Users have reported issues with the GTX 650Ti, 660, 660ti but this is caused by a driver issue on Apple’s end by not supporting the GK106 core(or quite poorly as the issue seems to be memory leakage which also affects real Macs). Another issue with this generation is lower end products marketed as first generation Kepler are actually using a Fermi core but have identical counterparts running Kepler cores as well(GF 116 vs GK 107 found in the GT 640). AND PLEASE NOTICE THAT GTX 745, 750 and ti VARIANTS ARE NOT INCLUDED, THEY'RE NOT KEPLER
Also keep in mind that the following systems have a Kepler GPU meaning that support will likely stay until all pre-Skylake hardware is dropped(so anything without USB-C):

#Kepler Series(GK 106 Variants)
GPUs running the GK 106 core have the unfortunate consequence of having a serious issue regarding VRAM leakage. This means that there's a high chance of distortion and overall instability when running these GPUs which unfortunately have no real solution as even installing web drivers has no affect.
