Formatting your Macbook Pro using this method will reinstall OS X, as well as your personal files. For example, if you are formatting your Macbook to reverse the effects of a virus, select a Time Machine backup that was created before the virus was installed on your system. This is what worked for me. It seems that the MacBook Pro needs to boot into OSX to enable virtualization. After that, a soft restart into Windows will have virtualization enabled. I have a mid-2015 15' MacBook Pro with i7 and Windows 10 Pro with Anniversary Update. – JohnnyO Oct 6 '16 at 22:05. Re: Installing Lubuntu 20.10 on an old macbook pro I am talking to my self here, but problem was solved with a bit of help from an irc support channel. I am not sure what caused the initial boot up trouble, but when I installed a second time I chose the option of letting Ubuntu take the entire hard drive and bootup went smoothly. Alternatively we can do a search on Apple’s Support Website and may end up finding something like this link to Bootcamp v5.1.5769, but when I tried installing that, the tool told me that it’s just not made for my MacBook model. Apple’s website isn’t exactly forthcoming on how to obtain versions of their software for vintage hardware.
I went for a disk install and hope it still is a common way about it. It may be a 2012 model. Specs are relatively good and should be up to the job.
I have booted the live disk, I have a working desktop environment, I have no wireless but with cable I was connected to the web. Firefox was working. I ran the installer, and it seemed to go through the steps with out any protests. I have a new SSD in the machine, nothing on it, there is no MacOS. However, I now boot into a folder with a blinking question mark. Lubuntu grub or boot up seems to be there, but no harddisk is found? I have searched around for similar posts, others have had the same, but I can't find any suggestion on what to do about it. Any clever guys who know what to do?

Thanks, I've successfully used this method with the non-touch 2016 13' MBP (both TB3 and TB2 enclosures). For the dGPU equipped Macs I recommend combining gpu-switch integrated mode prior to executing applesetos.efi but I don't know if it will work.
