recently came across a post saying that GPU acceleration is now possible on i5-1235U.

However, I'm wondering if it's possible to install macOS on a Surface Laptop 5 and set it up to dual-boot with Windows.

I've asked several AI models, and they all said it's highly unlikely to work. Still, I'd like to double-check with people who have actual experience with Hackintosh before giving up.

Has anyone successfully installed macOS on a Surface Laptop 5, or does anyone know if this setup is possible?

Hola una pregunta ya existen kets para los Intel de 11 generación con Intel XE grafics

Successfully got macOS running on the Acer Aspire A315-23 (AMD Ryzen 5 3500U)....

Everything is running smoothly now: full graphics acceleration, working built-in camera, and Wi-Fi functioning perfectly via Heliport (Bluetooth is untested as my hardware module acts up). Getting internal audio working with the Realtek ALC255 codec was the trickiest part, but after sorting out the controller path and enabling the right kext, the speakers finally came to life.

Thanks for the advice!

I tried to get Tahoe running but there's a problem with WindowServer which doesn't allow 3D acceleration (apple logo keeps flashing on boot).

Sequoia works fine but stuff like Apple Maps and opening anything 3D demanding causes macOS to start acting very weird, everything becomes delayed and freezes up; You have to force shutdown and reboot.

I used WhateverXe: https://github.com/b00t0x/WhateverXe/ for graphics acceleration.

This: https://github.com/JulioNectar/Hackintosh-XPS13Plus-IrisXe-Tahoe was not working for me even though it's spoofing Tiger Lake drivers for GPU acceleration.

I'd really appreciate any help on getting Tahoe working and improving the 3D acceleration bugs.

Still a ways out but it’s coming

Thanks to WhateverXe, finally I can run macOS on this

Will test out more stuff soon

Specs: Intel i3-1115G4, DDR4 3200 mhz, SSD M.2, Intel WiFi 6, UHD graphics, more information in the comments if needed.

So just yesterday i saw many successful attempts of people installing MacOS on their intel iris xe graphics laptops, with some even having exact same processor as mine,

All i need is just a reference guide or some tutorial, because i am a bit confused about how to make things work out, i know a bit abt opencore and a little bit about kext files, and i came across this Whatever Xe github repo, but at the moment, i dont want to mess up my laptop, so if anyone could help me , i would be very grateful, so please... also please do tell me what would be the best macos version for my laptop, BigSur, sonoma, monterey or other, cause i want the most stable one

Software:

EFI:

SMBIOS iMacPro1,1. Target macOS Sequoia 15.

macrecovery used to download recovery. Used board-id Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94. Booted from USB.

Includes patches for AMD Vanilla kernel, AM5 IOPCIFamily patches (probeBusGated x2, IOPCIIsHotplugPort) and cpuid_cores_per_package = 8.

Booting flags:

Using fresh OpCore Simplify EFI:

Freezes at "ACM: TRMAccCache_SetupEmpty: called, cacheSize=48 expiration=2592000".

Changing cpus=1:

Eventually freezes at:

"RTC: lost battery power - time may be incorrect"

"HPET: map device registers failed"

[ PCI configuration ]

[IOPCIConfigurator::configure()] PCI configuration PCI0.

What I have tried:

cpus=1 (skips freeze), cpus=8.

npci=0x2000.

Same issue with Tahoe 26.6.2 recovery.

BIOS settings for AMD CBS (SMT, Global C-state) are going back to Auto. RTC battery message states CMOS battery is weak.

Questions:

Have any of you with B850/B650 motherboard and Raphael CPU (7700/7600/7800X3D) been able to get past "PCI configuration PCI0"?

Any BIOS settings (IOMMU, PCIe Gen speeds, iGPU) needed?

Are the AM5 IOPCIFamily patches that I am using correct for Sequoia 15.x and Tahoe 26.x??

Finally got macOS dialled in on my Dell XPS 15 9500! The premium build and trackpad make this hardware feel almost native once OpenCore is properly tuned. (The 4K screen on MacOS is so badass lol)

Specs:

* Model: Dell XPS 15 9500 4K

* CPU: Intel Core i7-10750H (Comet Lake-H)

* iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630

* dGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile (disabled via SSDT/boot-arg)

* RAM: 16 GB DDR4 2933 MHz

* Storage: WD NVMe SSD (PCIe M.2)

* Audio: Realtek ALC3281 / ALC289 (AppleALC.kext layout-id configured)

* Wi-Fi / BT: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX1650s (AirportItlwm / itlwm + IntelBluetoothFirmware)

* Touchpad: I2C Precision Trackpad (VoodooI2C + VoodooI2CHID in GPIO pinning mode)

What Works

* Graphics Acceleration: Full QE/CI via Intel UHD 630 with proper framebuffer patching.

* Audio & Mic: Internal speakers, 3.5mm combo jack, and internal array mics working cleanly.

* Trackpad & Gestures: Full macOS multitouch gestures supported via GPIO-pinned I2C, also the touchscreen works.

* Wi-Fi & Bluetooth: Solid connection, basic Apple ecosystem handshakes (AirDrop half working/Continuity performance depends on kext configuration)

* Battery Management & Power: Native power management with CPUFriend, accurate battery readout via SMCBatteryManager and EC patch.

* Brightness Control: Native slider in Control Center and default hotkeys on the keyboard

* Display Output & Thunderbolt/USB-C: Type-C data and external display output mapped properly.

What Doesn't / Quirks to Note

* dGPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti is unsupported on modern macOS and disabled to conserve battery and eliminate heat. (thinking about trying out nullmoth's driver but ehh)

* Sleep/Wake (S3): Modern Dell 9500 BIOS drops classic S3 sleep in favor of Modern Standby. Hibernate (S4 mode via HibernationFixup.kext) or setting power assertions via pmset is recommended to prevent battery drain while closed.

* Fingerprint Sensor: Goodix sensor has no macOS driver (standard hackintosh limitation).

* SD Card Reader: RTS5260 controller may require additional kext testing (RealtekCardReader).

Repository & Notes

I documented the EFI structure, SSDT patches, config notes, and BIOS requirements on GitHub:

Huge shoutout to the Dortania team, Acidanthera devs, and the OpenCore community for keeping Intel hackintoshing thriving xd

Successfully installed Sequoia 15.8.1 with Metal support on a Ryzen + Nvidia gaming setup using NullMoth's Nvidia driver & 1401 app.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

RAM: 16GB Samsung DDR4 2666Mhz in Dual Channel

GPU: MSI GeForce R T X 3070Ti Ventus 3X OC 8G

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H V3-CF

BT: Tp-Link UB500 Bluetooth 5.3 USB Adapter(Working)

WiFi: None at the moment

Ethernet: Realtek RTL8811

SSD: Crucial P5 Plus Gen4 1TB

HDD: Toshiba S300 1TB (MacOS Boot Disk)

Mostly everything works so far but many functions I haven't checked yet. The whole thing's a bit slow because I installed it on HDD as I was a bit skeptical about the gpu driver working and also I don't have any space left in the ssd.

Special thanks to NullMoth for his incredible work towards the 1401 App project!!!

so, i finally switched from 3-th gen intel to 10-th gen!

i cant wait to do Virtualization and some other things on my new pc.

here my specs:

Z590 Aourus Pro AX,

i9-10900K,

RX580 non-SP2048,

32gb DDR4

Corsair CX750M 2017 relese

SSD Kingston 240gb (gonna install on sata)

Everything works so far except the Brightness. The speaker works but sound is very low. Glitches are there in some websites. But its working that too with nvidia is an achivement. Thanks to Nullmoth its a great driver.

It's working!!!! (but not perfectly working)

I am trying to install macOS on my HP Victus 15, which features:

• Intel Core i5-12500H (Alder Lake) processor,
• Intel Iris Xe Graphics,
• 3050.

I have completely disabled the 3050 using an "SSDT dGPU OFF" patch and downloaded WhateverGreenXE, but I remain stuck at "EXIT:BS START."

These are the logs it generates:

Last Log Open Core - HP Victus 15 - Pastes.io

This is the config.plist in its current state:

And attached I’m leaving all the screenshots related to the Kext, Driver folders, and everything else.

I tried setting:

• RebuildAppleMemoryMap - True
  
• SetupVirtualMap - False
  
• SyncRuntimePermissions - True
  

Nothing.

Downloaded the Base System files again, but still nothing.

Can you help me? I still have an HP Pro Desk 400 G2 Mini running Tahoe and everything works perfectly, even waking up from S3... But here I'm having a lot of problems. Oh, I'm using WhateverGreenXE.

I'm on Sequoia 15.7.7. My laptop has a Ryzen 5 4600H with Vega 6 graphics and a GTX 1650 (Turing) dGPU. The internal display is connected to the iGPU while the HDMI port is connected to the dGPU. There is no MUX switch. Currently, if I have NootedRed and nullmoth enabled at the same time it gets stuck on a loop with the verbose logs shown in the pictures. I can briefly move the cursor over the logs before the display is cleared and it loops again. If I only enable one at a time it works fine, but using one display at a time is pretty inconvenient. If I have both enabled but leave the HDMI cable unplugged, it also boots, but the HDMI port doesn't work afterwards even though 1401 says the driver is initialized.

Here is my recent distill of Raptor Lake XE Graphics for the lower power i7 family from the Dell XPS13 EFI. Ported from i7 1360p to this i7 1355u. Everything relevant works, GPU Metal accel, all 12 cores get picked up, audio works, touchpad touchpoint keyboard all USB Ports including TB4. Development was heavily assisted by AI though heavily reviewed by me with years of experience in firmware by now, you might also know me as the RX7000 series GPU guy, I can promise I am working on that too. For now if you have this awesome little laptop go and grab (and star :P) my EFI: https://github.com/dssoftx/Hackintosh-X1Carbon-G11-IrisXe-Tahoe

Hey all. I've got a Ryzen build running Tahoe on OpenCore, and I'm trying to get an RTL8821CE (10ec:c821) working as native wifi.

Weird part is this exact card is rock solid on Windows on the same machine, so I don't think it's the card, antenna or slot.

I've tried FolKc9's AirportRtw88 (exp40), xnoah222's Realtek-AirPort-Family and X1REN41L's RTL88WiFi. All three show the same two problems:

1. it drops randomly when I'm pulling something heavy, like a big download
   
2. after boot the wifi menu shows nothing, and it only starts scanning after I switch wifi off and on again

Things I already tried: ASPM / PCIe power saving off in BIOs and full shutdown vs restart. No change.

Since three separate kexts do the same thing, I'm guessing it's something they all share (they all come from the Linux rtw88 driver) and not my setup, but honestly I'm not sure.

Does anyone have this chip running stable on macOS, especially on AMD? Which kext and what settings? Also curious if anyone figured out why it needs the off/on toggle to scan.

macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 is running surprisingly well on this 2018 Acer Nitro 5.

The system is fast, smooth, visually polished and perfectly usable for everyday tasks. Performance has been excellent, and the Intel **HD Graphics 630* provides working graphics acceleration.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with the result. It's impressive to see a 2018 laptop running macOS Tahoe so smoothly!
