![]() MacOS X default is to install all drivers into the system directories, and selectively load the ones needed at Startup Time. Any updates you perform on that MacOS software, including re-install of the same major version, will still have only drivers for that model Mac.įor Mac OS X, any version "purchased" (even for $0) and tagged with your Apple-ID will have Drivers for every appropriate model Mac. The instance of MacOS that "shipped in the box" with a specific computer works with that model only - it does not have "drivers for every appropriate model Mac" so will not run on different models. (Also, you must use release numbers, like 17E56 not just revision numbers 10.13.2 to make a completely accurate assessment.) This is a very confusing issue, but these subtle rules apply:Ī version of MacOS that is OLDER than the original-release software for a particular model Mac cannot possibly run on that Mac, because the newest drivers for its new hardware are not included.
