How to Build a Hackintosh #

Building a Hackintosh requires careful planning and technical knowledge. Here are the basic steps:

Choose Compatible Hardware Select components compatible with macOS. It’s important to consult Hackintosh community recommendations, especially for the motherboard, CPU, and graphics card.

Prepare the macOS Installation File Obtain the macOS installer using a genuine Mac or a system that can run macOS.

Create a Bootable USB Installer Use tools like UniBeast or similar to create a bootable USB drive.

Configure BIOS Settings Adjust the motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings for Hackintosh installation (e.g., enable AHCI mode, disable secure boot).

Install macOS Boot from the prepared USB drive and proceed with the macOS installation.

Install Necessary Drivers and Kexts Install appropriate drivers and kext files to ensure full compatibility with your system components.

Set Up a Bootloader Use a bootloader like Clover or OpenCore to allow the system to boot independently.
