Hi dear mac users,
I recently acquired a Macbook 4,1 from early 2008. Unfortunately the latest version of macos supported is Lion. I managed to upgrade it to Mountain Lion and Mavericks (but that last one lost the graphic acceleration). The impossibility to use modern apps on those system made me install windows 10 on it.
Weirdly, this mac won't boot on a windows USB stick (but boots on a macOS one) so I had to burn Windows on a DVD. Unfortunately, there is room only for the 32 bits of windows 10. Everything seems to works very well on it, but I would like to upgrade to a 64 bits version of windows 10 in order to use some of my programs that are exclusively 64 bits.
In order to do so, I used a dual-layer DVD to burn W10 64 bits, but the mac seems do not accept this DVD (it automatically ejects it after few seconds of trying to read it).
So I'm looking here for some help, advices or ideas in order to make this mac boot from a windows USB stick or to find a smaller 64bits versions of windows 10 that can be burned on a single layer DVD...
