Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Hey,

im installing on a 2016 Dell XPS 13 9350 model.

It has an 6500cpu so I used Skylake EFI folder.

After a few modifications in the bios I got the stick to boot and install. Then it rebooted, here the problems begin.

It boots Clover, then the newly created Installer (on internal drive I believe) is booted. Mostly, this doesn't work and reboots the machine. I once got a real white error sign blurring the rest of the screen.

I restarted the process and got it to install the 2nd installer from SSD. This takes a lot longer at a certain point into the install (machine did some work...) there's an impassable reboot loop happening.

Maybe im missing a boot argument here?

Bootloop + BIOS Settings:
