Hello @sheikhshofikul 

 

Thank you for posting in the HP Support Community.

 

No, you cannot use Mac OS (any version) on HP laptops. HP laptops are personal computers (PCs) and are kind of opposite to notebooks known as Macs. Mac OS is created by Apple and ment to be used only on their Apple devices. Mac OS does not support hardware different from those produced by Apple.

 

HP will support you if you use Windows on this PC and common GNU/Linux distros should also work.

Mac OS is not supported.

 

There is small chance that something called "Hackintosh" may work but it will require a lot of reading/adjustments/etc and is not supported officially. Search in Google for "hackintosh" for more information. It may not be legal to run Mac OS on a non-Apple hardware. More info >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackintosh

Hi

Further to the excelllent answer given by  IT_WinSec...

 

I have a iMac and it wont run Mohave, the hardware criteria is very very exact.

 

You can try a Linux on your HP as IT_WinSec says, some even look like a Mac...

Any particular want/need for a specific app/program that cannt be done in Windows or Linux?

If in doubt please ask.
