Hi Martin,
ok that's really strange. You could also not start the safe mode?
Well the first update from Sierra to (the 1st) Mojave did also go wrong
here, so had to reinstall Sierra then waited for a higher version of
Mojave 10.14.2 or something and that one went flawless on the Hackintosh.

this guarantees buttons look the same wherever they are.

Hi Curry
Thanks for your take on my question. I too believe in developing for the
lowest possible common denominator. My MacBook Pro Retina is the 15 inch early

will likely be able to as well as a standalone.

I have an iMac that has the specs for a dual boot but I am reluctant to do it.
It has a 1 TB fusion drive and when I upgraded from Sierra to Mojave I ended
up with a non functioning fusion drive. I had a nice long chat with the Apple
Support tech trying to get it working again, then
Thanks Erik for the recommended specs.
Also thanks for the advice re virtual testing. I have used parallels in the

Windows on dedicated hardware is my choice. Only then you really can say
that you tested on Windows. The brand of the hardware (metal) is not
important in this case. You are not confined to a closed system as with
Apple.

Just to add something here. Using an SSD instead of an HDD will make a crappy
computer run like a decent one. Hard Drive data transfer is the single most
important factor in the speed of a computer. Some might say memory, but more
memory makes it faster only because the HDD needs to be accessed

Hi,
I would advise this hardware:
