    Someone have the full installer of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (10K549) multi languages, released on 25 July 2011?
    Because up to 10.6 MacOS support the 32 bit cpu, but from 10.7 Lion works only on 64 bit cpu.

    createinstalliso support only the macos?

    Thank you!

    The best option is to get Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from this link. Then you can upgrade to 10.6.8 with the link also provided there

    A question, create the USB is not necessary to be done from the same system you want to install, but in the case of creating the system, it is necessary that the terminal and the code are the same as the one you want to make the copy?
    More simply, it could run on a Lion to create a High Sierra for example?
    And, instead of a PenDrive, can I use a formatted HD?

    Yes, it is possible to create the USB installer on another Mac and it should be possibe to create it on Lion ;)
    I have never tried to use an external harddisk for installation, so I don't know

    Yeah, but it still has the chicken-egg problem. For creating an ISO, you have to be on MacOS already.

    Yes, but it's very handy to have this file if you work on a Mac :⁠,⁠-⁠)

    The aarch64 builds of macOS require online activation these days. Some examples:

    pastebin.com/MNiyEy8E

    This is different to the optional "activation lock" for lost macs. This is basically unapologetic DRM.

    Does anyone know if there has been any attempts to crack this yet?

    I haven't seen any way to bypass activation after disk formatting :-(
    On my Mac Mini M1 I can't even use WiFi during setup but have to connect a 15 meter Ethernet cable to my router...

    Ah darn, that is sad to hear.
    In some ways I would have hoped the Mac OS x86 and hackintosh communities would have put something out by now. However since it only affects the arm variants, they haven't needed to really deal with this mess.

    if cannot install Windows 7,
    then better go macOS? or Windows 11/24H2?

    Thanks for the tip,

    I was struggling about three weeks. failed to install Windows 7 on my Dell 7070. no matter what I had tried.

    decided to move on, tested Windows 10 you suggested.

    It run fine. my scripts of python and macro on the Windows 10. A surprise to me. will watch awhile. If no issues, I will skip Windows 7. move to Windows 10 (couldn't be Windows 11 which proven NOT run my scripts).

    An era has passed. Windows 7.
