EFI Required for Lenovo P330 Tiny

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.

Thanks @MaLd0n, I have followed those instructions and it worked except the Wifi and bluetooth and unfortunately it installed on external SSD drive instead of WD SN810 black NVME even though i have used NVME kexts.

Any ways it feels so good having sonoma 14.1.1 on my Lenovo p330 tiny. Graphics acceleration is also working with UHD 630, shows 1536 MB VRAM.

Wifi : AX210 : It is working with AirportLtlwm v2.3.0 - which is not stable though. sometimes it doesn't.

Where can I find the bluetooth model? I tried IntelBTPatcher, IntelBluetoothInjector, IntelBluetoothFirmware but nothing seems to work.

Please help me with below few things and my full hackintosh would be ready.

1. Installing it on WD SN810 black NVMe, which is always booting in error "About 29 minutes remaining.." after first restart and disk selection and formatting. Not sure why?

2. Bluetooth kexts. Do they need in any specific order? or Am I missing something?

3. Can you also help me with removing unnecessory kexts which are not required at all and may be faster my boot time.
