Recommended specs for Windows Development computer.

[JJS]

Hi Martin,

ok that's really strange. You could also not start the safe mode?

Well the first update from Sierra to (the 1st) Mojave did also go wrong 
here, so had to reinstall Sierra then waited for a higher version of 
Mojave 10.14.2 or something and that one went flawless on the Hackintosh.

For a previous job i had a Apple Laptop 2015 model and on it was MacOs 
and Win8.1 with Refind bootloader, but as more customers started using 
win10 i wanted win10 as 3rd boot option.

It took me a whole weekend and i needed it Mondays again. It went wrong 
because they hijack the bootsector from each other. COuld not boot 
win8.1 and after that could not boot MacOs anymore, except for the safe 
mode. It's tricky because one needs to disable the SIP protection and 
mount ESP volume to get Refind on it.

So i can understand that your cautious, so if you are to hesitate than 
just don't do it and go for a safe way.

Regards

It has a 1 TB fusion drive and when I upgraded from Sierra to Mojave I ended up with a non functioning fusion drive.   I had a nice long chat with the Apple Support tech trying to get it working again, then I was escalated and the engineer had me do a couple of other things and then my Mac was bricked.  He was a bit embarrassed and approved a free repair at my local Mac dealer.   Turns out the upgrade detached the fusion drive’s SSD from its Hard Drive.
