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.

Imposible to use the point 6:

6- Start a Post Installation *Go to Olarila Image/Files folder and run "disablehibernate.command"

After the macOS installation, clover start macOS and after the boot block at this point:

I have 2 SSD

one for macOS (APFS) with Clover and the second with Windows (NTFS)

My second problem, with or without the Olarila USB Key, windows don't boot again!

Only a white line on the top left for Windows 10.

[ref]greens[/ref], disable IntelHD in bios/uefi

[ref]greens[/ref], disable IntelHD in bios/uefi

Primary Display is IGFX.

IGPU is disable.

RC6 (render Standby is disable)

On the UEFI from the MB, I have disable "HD AUDIO CONTROLLER",

I have plug two monitor (one with MB and the other with the VEGA64)

but it's the same problem...

IntelHD is for the graphic card? This UEFI is complicate...

Added in 35 minutes 39 seconds:

On the second moniteur the background is just gray...

Added in 3 minutes 41 seconds:

I have enable the IGPU and it's works...

No problem to boot on USB key but a reboot problem with the EFI from my M.2 SSD (with Mojave installed and it's work now ), I try to install Clover and remplace de folder Olarila and install again clover.

(if I don't boot from the USB key) the clover write for 2 secondes:

WELCOME TO CLOVER 5017

... SCAN ENTRIES ....

And the PC reboot all time.

I try to remplace the EFI files from the M.2 with the EFI files from the USB key and it's exactly the same result... reboot again again...

but, if I boot with the USB Key, no problem...

Again is the graphic card
