[Guide] Install/Restore BigSur with OpenCore

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.

@MaLd0n

Thanks for refinement to my DSDT. It's working fine under Big Sur but I've annoying problem. If I open Terminal for the first time, it works normal but when I quit and reopen Terminal, it behaves like TextEditor. I mean there's no way to type command. I also noticed that I can't shutdown the system and Control Setting hangs during 3 - 5 seconds. Any tips will be appreciated.

Thanks I used you EFI and it did the trick! I'm feeling the Mac is a bit too slow at startup than my previous EFI. Also the volume wifi toggles don't respond well, Is it because of Beta version of BIG SUR?? Its a bit laggy when I click the buttons. Catalina on the other side is a bit laggy but not as compared to BIG SUR.

One more question... Can I change the products name iMac Pro(2017) to something new. What should I do to change that in you EFI??

Can't I make it like MacPro the latest one? Thanks xD!!

One more thing mate!! I have Catalina and Big Sur on the same partition and when I try to partition down some space from the Catalina, I was able to do so. But the new created volume can't be added to Big Sur partition. Why??

It shows untitled and gives a message it would wipe everything off!! What Should I do?? I have tonnes of extra space on the other partition. Please help me with this too... Thanks
