rasaki replied to mhmyasser's topic in High Sierra (10.13)

Hi, I have an HP z600 with dual Xeon x5560 CPUs, and an NVIDIA GTX 590 GPU that I would love to Hackintosh and bring up to Mojave if possible. I noticed that you signature says you have Mojave running. Do you have any suggestions for getting directly to Mojave or should I just follow the instructions above to get High Sierra going and then upgrade to Mojave?
