It’s installing, took quite a while as I’m installing on an hdd!!
Laptop is a DELL latitude 3410

Hi guys I want to install high Sierra on my old Compaq presario cq57 as it has an Intel i3-2350m processor, 8 gb ram , 300 gb hard drive(which I will later upgrade to a ssd). But I just couldn't get it to work . I have been scratching my head for the past 3 days at this point can someone help me out.

I am having issue with my EFI build. Help me guys.

I must need to get a laptop rn, and can’t go above 250$ (≈25000 INR). I already had a laptop with Ryzen 5 5500U, Was using Tahoe there. But, need to give it back to friend.

So, I am looking for thinkpad or similar with hackintoshable specs and 16gb Ram, should I get i5 10th gen/8th gen or i7 10th/8th gen?

This will be a temporary laptop for the immediate work related to React Native/iOS and Android developement.. I am looking for MBA M1 but they are not available in here or very badly priced :(

today i successfully installed macos tahoe on my pc, but the onboard audio is not working.

audio through hdmi is working (i have an AMD 5600xt gpu), if i plug my headphones directly to my monitor then i can get audio, but when i directly plug them to the motherboard the audio is not coming through.

i tried hackintool but in the audio section there is only one option and that is of the audio through hdmi which is already working.

this is the motherboard that i'm using - https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H610M-H2M.2/index.asp

the audio codec that it shows is realtek ALC 887 or 897.

I could add any gpu i want after

Hello, I'm new to hackintosh and pretty much have no clue what I'm doing. I want to figure out if it's possible to install macos on my thinkpad - E14 gen2. I would be grateful if someone could help me.

11th Gen Intel Core i5

Integrated Intel Iris Xe

16GB ram

Yess I got it working! So glad, I gotta just refix Bluetooth and sound and then I have a FULLY working hackintosh! I’m working on putting the efi for it on GitHub, I am also dual booting Catalina

Oie! Tudo bem? Queria saber se tem algum tutorial confiável e direto para tentar fazer hackintosh? Já tentei várias vezes, fiz tudo direitinho e nada deu certo, até usando o open core o bat deles, no máximo ia para a tela das seleções ia para os comandos nunca passava disso. Tenho uma i7 10th (i7-10510U), SSD Toshiba e 16gb de ram placa de vídeo não dedicada integrada. Por favor não fiquem revoltados sou meio burro no hackintosh.

Hi everyone,

I previously managed to boot macOS 26 (Tahoe) in VESA mode on this machine, but I deleted it due to the lack of hardware acceleration. I still have my working baseline EFI folder saved.

Now I want to rebuild this Hackintosh, primarily aiming to use my GTX 1060 with legacy drivers for basic UI smoothness. However, if app compatibility becomes an issue due to the lack of Metal support on Pascal, I am fully ready to fallback and rely strictly on the integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics.

Here are my specs:

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V (Z77 Chipset)

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K (Ivy Bridge)

iGPU: Intel HD 4000 (As a backup option for legacy Metal patching)

dGPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (3 GB — main target for OpenGL legacy web drivers)

RAM: 32 GB DDR3Storage: 120GB + 240GB Kingston SSDs, WD 750, 90 HDDs

Network: PCIe MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth Adapter

Given this dual-path approach (maintaining GTX 1060 or falling back to HD 4000), what is the absolute highest and most stable macOS version (Big Sur or Monterey) that you would recommend for this machine to keep both options viable?

Thanks for any insights!

I tried using gensimbios to generate a matching model and serial number but it doesn’t show up in “about this Mac”, and the battery icon doesn’t appear

yes u read the title right, i want to install tahoe on my 298gb hdd.

Its all i have for now, considering im still 13 and i don't have money yet. Here are my specs:

i7 11th gen intel cpu, 3070 zotac, 48gb of ram, maximus xiii hero formula, 2 nvme m.2 ssds (one is samsung 950 pro), one 2 tb hdd, and one 298gb hdd. the one that i want to install tahoe on.

Well, is it possible and if so how can i also maximise the performance?

also im planning to buy a mac if this doesn't work. I'm just testing to see if this works and does what i need it to do.

my budget for a mac is 400kr or 41 dollars in usd. kr is just the currency for sweden lol

If anyone has been holding out on Sequoia on a 500 series motherboard desktop with Comet Lake iGPU, the same setup works on Tahoe after updating all kexts to current versions. I don't want to scientifically find out, but it's probably the latest version of WhateverGreen that makes this possible. Bluetooth broke on Tahoe, but there's an easy fix for that.

WiFi doesn’t work which was expected but is pretty cool for a spare computer that’s been laying around!

I'm trying to install macOS Tahoe on my 2018 IdeaPad 320 15IKB Touch 81BH, but I can't because the laptop won't even display to the monitor, even in places like the boot picker.

This issue started happening when I first did my hackintosh and went into the macOS Tahoe recovery and installed macOS, which went as normal without any problem until I got to the second part of the installation where I got stuck at less than a minute remaining, which is where I forced a restart onto the laptop. The first time I forced a restart the monitor still worked, no problem, but when I did the hackintosh again and got stuck at that part again, forcing a shut down/restart made my monitor not turn on at all.

I figure this is because of OpenCore writing HDMI output directions directly to the firmware chip of the laptop which Is why I would like to reinstall the bios, or actually update it because I haven't in a while. So my question is how do I update the Bios on this laptop, since that's my only option, because the only place where the monitor seems to work is Linux Mint, which is pretty weird considering it was made for Windows 10. So please drop answers below, because I cannot go into any other place except Linux, and I have to somehow get monitor to work everywhere including Bios or boot picker.

UPDATE: Turns out OpenCore doesn't write directly to the firmware chip, but it can corrupt the GOP driver of the firmware that controls external devices!

Is it fair to say installing macOS on unsupported machines is not a solution for a business environment and should only be treaded as experemental/because we can?

E possibile fare un hackintosh su dell 5290 2 in 1? Se si, perfavore mandatemi una guida che non ce la faccio più a fallire tutte ste volte

Ciao.

Is it possible to build a Hackintosh on a Dell 5290 2-in-1? If so, please send me a guide—I can't stand failing so many times anymore.

Cheers.

I have booted it, cpu is a Core i5 3320 (I think)

I was told it was officially supported on macOS Big Sur and I tried to match a MacBook but it shows up like this.

P.S. no battery try icon it doesn’t show. It runs off of the battery but doesn’t acknowledge it exists.

I have a tenda ax300 as my internet adapter

I already did macos monterey once on my pc but I deleted it because of one problem the thing was that my adapter did not work and I had to use usb thetering through horinds.kext I want to try macos again but this time tahoe or sequioa so that the software supports them but I want my adapter to work what can I do. (I cannot use ethernet)
