macOS High Sierra on the HP Pavilion 570-p049... a year later

It's 2019 and there's all this crazy controversial crap Apple is doing like Mojave. But, whatever. After a few months on Windows 7 dualboot and the slow anger of Windows 10, I decided to say goodbye to the Windows 10 main partition that came with my PC and installed macOS.

Back then I was running it off of an external drive, and it was working perfectly after a few fine-tuning. So I thought: why not make it a main OS? It's not too bad.

99.7% everything works (sleep sometimes), yep! Everything!

Though there was a problem. I wanted to do a fresh install but it wouldn't let me due to Apple's lying and the Windows partition. Fortunately I had a backup from 10.13.5 in my external HDD, and installed it onto my main drive. It booted with no problems and my Windows 7 was left intact! 10.13.6 is guaranteed to work without problems but I couldn't update cause again, Apple's bias against Windows partition table.

What even surprisingly works is the Apple Facetime and iMessage services, without further modification! I could talk to people who are on iPhones on my PC while I have a Samsung >:D

Mojave could work okay on this, but the screen's purple color mode with WhateverGreen is my issue however and patching is a wee bit tricky. It's not a computer problem though, it's something to do with my TV (monitor).

Bonus cookie points if you HP Pavilion 570 users got Mojave working.

Have a good day.
