Install MacOS with Vanilla Olarila Image, Step by Step

blackpearltown replied to MaLd0n's topic in Installation Guides

MaLd0n hi, My friend has a laptop. We did every step from the guided tutorial. But his laptop only boots to macOS when it was using a USB stick. Without the USB, his laptop stuck in the loading screen. His laptop spec: Acer Spin 3 CPU: Intel I7-6500U with Intel HD 520 Graphic Ram: 12GB DDR4 2400MHz HDD 1TB Thank you,
