Problem with Internet on my Hackintosh and with Dual Boot

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.

Hello, i'm a new user and this Hackintosh is the first one i ever made, so i'm a complete ignorant about this topic.

I followed the tutorial and i tought that everything worked fine, until i noticed that i couldn't connect to any internet connection. It seems that the MacOS doesn't recognize my network adapter.

I searched everywhere for any possible solution but nothing. I just can't use internet. (P.S. my modem is far away from my pc so i can't use an ethernet port, the only way to use internet for me is with a network adapter)

I can't really remember the exact model of my Network Adapter, i just know that it's made by TP-Link. Is there any fix for this isssue? I spent a lot of time to make this hackintosh and i would like to keep it instead of deleating hours and hours of research. Thanks in advance for the help.

So the only possible fix is to actually buy an external network adapter?

Ok thanks, but i've got one more problem. I totally forgot to put it in the post xD.

I've got a problem with the bootloader. When i boot mac os from the usb drive it works fine, but windows does not work. I've got around 9 windows icons in clover and any of them works. The only way to start windows is by closing clover. Also, when i remove the usb drive, clover boots up, but i can't get access to any of the os in it. I can't use mac and windows as well, and i can only access windows by doing the same thing as before. Is there something i can do about this?

[ref]kaniska[/ref], check if have a EFI or SYSTEM RESERVED entries at clover boot screen

[ref]kaniska[/ref], check if have a EFI or SYSTEM RESERVED entries at clover boot screen

Yes, i've got 2 System Reserved and 0 efi apparently. All of the other icons says "Boot windows from" and two "boot windows from volume"

[ref]kaniska[/ref], if u use uefi mode, windows boot is EFI entrie, if u use legacy mode windows boot is system reserved

I

[ref]kaniska[/ref], if u use uefi mode, windows boot is EFI entrie, if u use legacy mode windows boot is system reserved

tried again to boot windows from “reserved for the system” but this happens:

93D412E2-7399-4FC5-90FF-5C4EE5C97283.MOV

Maybe it’s because windows is one another disk? Or because i’m trying To boot it with my usb drive still in?

UPDATE!

Apparenlty MacOS Mojave stopped working even by booting it from the original usb drive...here's a screenshot of the error:

What should i do? Should i try to install it again?

I checked in the boot option of my mobo and if i remove the usb drive, the main boot option is this one:

This option boot me into clover, but it's a strange version. Instead of getting the usual Olarila dark theme, i get the white clover theme with all mac icons corrupted:

If i try to boot windows from here i get the same screen that i mentioned in the previous post, but if i try to start the corrupted mac os (from the disk where the os should be installed) i get a complete black screen:

Can someone please help me out? I'm really going crazy

Where do I need to remove it?

MaLd0n · September 13, 2019

[ref]kaniska[/ref], u need check where u installed it

Is there a tutorial or a guide? I don’t know where I should go precisely

From what you said I think I should deactivate it from MacOS but I can’t boot into it. Should I modify this file in the usb drive? Or do I need to reinstall Mac OS in order to do this?

[ref]kaniska[/ref], u need check where u installed it

I did, but I can’t complete the 7th step. By downloading the new versions of Clover I don’t get those options. Have you got a link to download that specific version?

MaLd0n · September 13, 2019

[ref]kaniska[/ref], if u use efi from here, don't need install clover, just past efi folder into efi partition
