[Guide] Install/Restore BigSur with OpenCore

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.

Bom Dia @ MaLd0n, consegui instalar o BS, parabens pelo belo trabalho!

Dell Inspiron 3543-A30, i5 5200u, ssd120, 8gb ram, hd5500, (versão A11 da BIOS)

use sua pasta BigSur Haswell, faça o download de uma imagem e via perfil beta, e transfira pelo terminal para pen drive, e adicione uma pasta efi OC ?

adcionei meus gráficos, smbios, dsdt, ssdt, tudo funciona bem menos meu WFI DW1550, estou lendo muitas coisas nos fóruns de pré-lançamentos, mas ainda não consegui alterar o SIP, para que eu tente instalar um IO80211family.kext do catálogo, ou talvez adcionar os plugins a IO80211family.kext do BigSur.

vou deixar minha efi para quem está com problemas se quiser testar a vontade, caso contrário DSDT e SSDT-UIAC .... caso seu laptop não seja idêntico ao meu!

You need new opencore version, new kexts, custom boot arguments and a well constructed config.plist (see the ones supplied by mald0n) to boot into Big Sur

Oi, sou Dell 3543 também, mas não consigo abrir sua configuração na árvore apropriada

eu edito com o TextMate! pro teu note creio que so remover a DSDT e a SSDT-UIAC da pasta e do plist! talvez ja te ajude a inicializar com sucesso ! lembra de resetar a nvram antes do boot ok

Does the recovery partition work with this image? What about sudo -uw / command?

I have an error installing the USB stick with olarilla Big Sur Build from here, i will install on a 150 GB APFS partition of an internal SSD. Everything OC is up to date.
In the picture it stops with RecoveryOS Time Out etc.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve the problem to get to the actual installer? Is it perhaps related to the fact that

I have connected two other SSDs (one for Windows and one as a data grab)? I don't really think so?
