Stuck on Loading Operating System - macOS Catalina on Ivy Bridge Desktop

[Davide Domina]

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this forum and I'm trying to install macOS Catalina on my PC. I'll start by telling you that I find it fun to install macOS because a friend of mine with Intel hardware and UEFI managed to install it in just a few steps. but on my PC, following his guide (the same one on this site), I still can't boot my PC on the USB with macOS.

It gets stuck on "Loading Operating System..."

Below I describe my hardware, but I would like to point out that my motherboard does not have a BIOS with UEFI mode.

 

CPU: Intel Core i3-3240 LGA 1155

MoBo: Gigabyte H61M-D2H-USB3

RAM: 8GB DDR3 1666 Mhz

HDD: Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB + Seagate ST100DM003-1SB10C 1TB

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 710 2GB

 

P.S. The USB Flash Drive is set on MBR and NTFS

I don't have UEFI mode for my BIOS.
I followed the guide, but how do I open the BootInstall_X64.tool file? I'm on Windows 11

I tried everything but I'm still stuck on boot. I don't have any choice to install macOS and I have only Reset NVRAM, but I can't go on because I can't use mouse and keyboard. What can I do?
