Maybe would also have to search for the latest compatible adobe flash plugin / player. What about firefox in its last available version plus some addons/plugins an extra messures that start at the LAN/Wifi-router? (I don't know how much you can trust the user not to click on scam wen searching for recipes, especially "make your mac faster" or "clean your mac" scams).

There is icab, which got its last update 3/2017 but is still under support by the author If he gets offered 10.7.5 maybe someone can guide him along how to keep the install pkg. I assume, when he does the recovery/internet installation (not sure if they added that to those machines or will he have to start off with the 10.4 DVDs?) he will be offered the latest Update, which of course is not supported, right? or will he be ofered the last supported one (i.e. to an external or USB-stick, then delete those personal folders, shut down and restart and then save the current install of your 10.7.5 with Super Duper (preferred by myself, since still free) or carbon copy cloner to an external HDD, that has to have a seperate volume for this or be alone for that use. So he has this one (sure its not the Cor Duo without the "2"?)īefore I try anything, I would first delete unneeded stuff or move personal folders etc. I replaced it with a MacBook5,1 to run a modern version of macOS and then put Chrome OS on the MacBook4,1 as an additional surfing machine.

I was in a similar situation with my MacBook4,1 since that too is limited to 10.7.5. On a Mac you need to manually create the installer. The easiest way to create the installer is on a Windows machine though since it’s all automatic. That will wipe the Mac and install Chrome OS. Then create the CloudReady single-boot 64-bit installer on a USB drive then boot off the USB drive to perform the install. To do this you’d want to get a copy of the 10.7 installer just in case you want to go back to OS X, and save that. That’s pretty limited but at least it includes the latest version of Chrome browser and it will make that machine feel fast. Honestly, I’d consider installing CloudReady Chrome OS on it. 10.7.5 is already bad but 10.6.8 is even worse for support.

And I wouldn’t even consider running anything older than 10.7.5. With 2 GB RAM and hard drive it will still be slow after a clean install of 10.7.5, Plus 10.7.5 is problematic even just for surfing since no modern mainstream browser supports it.
