seeker_pl Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi Guys, Does anyone try to install macOS Sierra on Latitude 7480? Waiting for mine, date of delivery for the laptop is 06/09/2017. It's a replacement for my e7470. Not sure why, but my offer look like Skylake processor. Maybe mistake. Or maybe they offer one with Skylake and Kabe Lake processor. How about the Docking Station TB16? It's using Thunderbolt, but will it work with macOS?

Administrators Hervé Posted August 23, 2017 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2017 Moving to the correct "Help and Support section"... Guys, what's the trouble? Can't read "Complete guides for Dell computers. No support here." as indicated under each Guide subsection? Try and look at the existing Latitude 5480 threads in the 5000 Series section.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted August 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2017 @seeker_pl, with those specs, it looks like the E7470 you're replacing. should be an easy hack, just use the same guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Lo, can you help? UPDATE: I used 0x2 for 0x795 and I'm able to run macOS installer, but probably I will have wrong GPU value? UPDATE2: Set DVMT for 0x795 to 0x2 - now macOS shows 1536 MB:) @Jake Lo can you help set DSDT/SSDT? My origin folder attached. No Ethernet and Wifi (replaced with DW1830). origin.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
