Always need to select proper boot on Lenovo S145 to avoid OpenCore to be able to run Ventura

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

When I turn on my Lenovo S145, the boot always fails, for an unknown reason the laptop selects the "OpenCore" boot option.

To start the laptop properly on MacOS, I need to press F12 and select "EFI Hard Drive (KINGSTON...)", otherwise, the laptop choose "OpenCore" option and the boot didn't work and the laptop is restarted.

I try to put a new files on the EFI folder on mu NVME, but the behaviour presists.

How can I remove the "OpenCore" option from boot?

Update opencore and use LauncherOption = Full

I check config.plist file in OpenCore and the LauncherOption is already set to full

Need to work with Opencore entry or UEFI SSD entry

Alright, try my EFI and tell me how it works! Make sure you have Intel Wi-Fi or native Wi-Fi! And also make sure your macOS is Big Sur to Sonoma! Here it is! Also make sure to use your own SSDT with SSDTTime!
