I have a few MacPro3,1's at my school I'd like to update to El Capitan 10.11.6. Currently they're running 10.5.8. I've got really slow WiFi-internet access, but the MacPro's do not have Airport. How do I attack this?
I want to make an up-to-date USB-install stick. I know I need to get hold of El Capitan, but my personal MacBook Pro is still running Mavericks. I can only update to Sierra. So I have to find an El Capitan-running Mac, but if I manage to get hold of the El Capitan-installer, it will be tied to their Apple-ID, right? Will El Capitan install without internet access?
Os X El Capitan 10.11
- Dec 22, 2019 Mac Pro 2006 1,1 El Capitan Upgrades. Upgrades I have completed on the Apple Mac Pro 1,1 in order to get it El Capitan (OS X 10.11) ready along with code, scripts and links to products and utilities. Install El Capitan from Spare Mac. Attach the Mac Pro boot drive to a Mac. Download El Capitan from the App Store on this Mac.
- No issues having a dual boot setup. I have a 1,1 with Windows 10 Pro and OSX 10.11 El Capitan running on it. One SSD for each OS with an AMD R9 280X video card and 32GB RAM. To this day, 11 years since I bought it, it is a beast. Runs both like a champ.
