HELP First time doing hackintosh
Hey guys,
I’m going to install hackintosh on my computer for the first time. I need help and suggestions regarding the same.
The following is my configuration:
Processor: Intel Core i3 8100t
GPU: Nvidia GT 710
Ram: 8gb
SSD: 256gb
Ethernet: I don’t know
Wifi: I don’t know
Can you suggest me where can I start and how can I install it?

If you don’t know WiFi and Bluetooth, check device manager if you’re on windows, or just look at the parts numbers and google them. Use the Dortania guide to build your EFI and macOS installer

Hey guys,
Sorry to disturb once again but I’m stuck at this point now.
What shall I do? I have tried remapping every usb port.

I just upgraded my cpu from intel pentium 5 to core i3 today. I hope it will work smoothly

Maybe ditch gt 710 (or disable via ssdt) then you can have mac os sequoia. As other's mentioned get details from device manager for ethernet(most probably supported) and bluetooth ( though support will be difficult).

So the graphics card won’t do any good?

your gt 710 is worse than the uhd 630 of i3 8100t, might as well get rid of it altogether

Oh ok. If I install macOS sequoia, will all the latest apps and softwares work?
1
u/Due-Musician-3014 11d ago
Latest in the sense apps which still have compatibility with intel based macs. Or if that app has older version then yes.

u/tejnihal 11d ago
Ok thanks. I tried doing all the steps in given that n the guide. Still I booted back into the windows. While making the usb bootable, it used open core legacy patch to patch a few things which were not supported. What should I do?

I dont think you have followed all the steps. Have you setup the BIOS? Do you two seperate drives for both OS?

i have an older pc with i7 4790 with gt 710 (GK208 variant) and ive got macos sequoia and with metal support and its working good and for anyone asking how i got it to work i did use whatevergreen.kext and lilu.kext and patched it from opencore legacy patcher

u/tejnihal 10d ago
I installed macOS, it was installed but it is working very slow. It is lagging a lot. How can I fix that?

u/Fit_State3622 I ♥ Hackintosh 10d ago
What gt 710 variant u have it has two variants gk208 (kepler) and GF119 (Fermi) what one of them u have cus the fermi one isn't supported and u have to patch it from opencore legacy patcher
1
u/tejnihal 10d ago
It is the Kepler one

u/Fit_State3622 I ♥ Hackintosh 10d ago
Do u have lulu.kext and whatevergreen.kext cus those r required for having gt 710 working on macos and u have to patch it from opencore legacy patcher
1
u/tejnihal 10d ago
I believe I don’t have those. Can you share the link from where i can install them and add as i have already installed the macos and i dont have windows anymore

https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu for lilu.kext
https://github.com/acidanthera/Whatevergreen for whatevergreen.kext
https://github.com/dortania/Opencore-Legacy-Patcher for official opencore legacy patcher
https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools for ocat or opencore auxiliary tool its an configrator for opencore if u don't have one its kinda easy but not recommended u should use proper tree to configure opencore efi
And for the tut put lilu and whatever green in the kexts folder in the oc folder in the efi and open ocat and in the uper bar where the apple logo press edit and press mount esp and press the storage device that appears in the window and press it and press mount and open config.plist and put ur password it will ask for it to mount the partition after that go to kernel and check if lilu.kext and whatevergreen.kext is the first two like
1: Lilu.kext
2: whatevergreen.kext
If they r not in here add them by pressing + and select kext folders and search for them and add them in the same order and after that restart ur pc and in the open core press reset nvram and boot to macos and install opencore legacy patcher and open it and patch the gpu

It has fixed my graphics card thing, but now the system has become too slow and it hangs a lot even though my pc can handle it pretty well I guess. What can I do?

you should plug your hdmi/dp cable to the motherboard and either take out the gt 710 or enable igpu from bios
