It's a great video,thanks for that,man.....😍. But as one of your subscriber i have a request to make . In one of your prior videos you said that it is possible to switch between distros without breaking the existing installation. And you also mentioned that it is possible to switch even file managers . So if you make a video(long or short your call 😇) which covers both these topics then it will be very helpful for all of us( especially for new users like me). And as always love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩😃.

Installing MacOS with VMWare: like frying an egg. Installing MacOS with Opencore: like manufacturing the pan, refining the cooking oil, then raising the chickens to lay the egg before frying it. Update: only to discover that the egg can only be fried in a very specific set of pans and just with a certain kind of oil.
Only to find out that there's a better way to fry the egg (opencore or kext update) or your pan breaks (Mac OS version lost support and needs to upgrade), and you have to do it all over again. But it's slightly easier to do it as you now know how to make the pan and refine the cooking oil.
@Vek Why does a knife cost $9999 more than another? There is no mention of the benefits and reasons for using OpenCore over VMWare neither in this video nor in the OpenCore website. Benefits have been hinted by Just some random... above when he wrote that with OpenCore apparently, one doesn't lose support and can upgrade the OS, which in my eyes starts to make a very good case for OpenCore and why so much work is required to set it up. I am really looking forward to seeing OpenCore finding a way to get it to work with Nvidia cards and most laptops' WIFi cards. Now that I know, it seems a really great solution but with a very limited scope of use for the many of us with certain hardware configurations. I hope someone finds the time to perhaps mash up OpenCore with Clover/VMWare and maintain OpenCore's machine-level integration with a machine's compatible hardware whilst using Clover/VMWare-like emulation where that machine's hardware is not compatible. I hope this is even possible because if it is it will be really cool.
OMG. I did vmware and vbox and sheep shaver etc installs of macos'es and this one appears to be nuts. I don't know if I want to even try this. It looks like a from the ground build and if one thing goes wrong?... Titus has got a lot of likes compared to other videos... I've tried two installs and my laptop isn't even going into clover! This will not be easy! I think now is the time though. Apple has their M1 chips and everything will migrate to them.
is there anyway to make the wifi chip work on the laptop? I've heard numerous people gotten them to work even if they dont install Catalina or maybe an older Mac OS
Unless your on a Pixel³ and want to just scroll and control the timeline manually without all the chapter marks taking control. Worst thing ever. lol Drives me bonkers man.
I watched another video that had a similar amount of information recently..there is still trial and error. I was installing on a mini PC and wasted almost 3 hours messing with kexts and config only to find out I had it plugged into the wrong dp port. This model has 3 and kept black screening on me and I finally switched the port and it booted. Opencore is miles ahead of what I used to use to hackintosh the early days of clover on proprietary hp laptops
Wow, best guide so far. After spending entire days with clover, technolli opencore prebuilt efis, a huge number of reinstalls and reboots, finally managed to install Mac os X at the first try (with your guide) working like a charm Thanks a lot
Uh I remember myself spending day's with clover and never got my machine done. Was scared of opencore first since people often called it "complicated" for newbies. Well I gave up clover after a week of failures and got my opencore machine to work after 6 hours! That was an amazing.
I made it to the end and was impressed with how step by step you made the process seem. Your heads up warnings are a great addition as I have been stuck with installs where a simple step threw me off. Great stuff
Awesome video, one of the few video adaptations of my guides I quite enjoy! Few things I wanted to mention: - Nvidia's Kepler is still supported even in macOS 11 Big Sur - I211 should use Smalltree, not IntelMaussi - Would like if you explained why you used the SSDTs, cause you just slammed through without explaining why you need them. Other platforms need very specific SSDTs not created by SSDTTime - Prebuilt SSDTs are slow for boot, but fine once booted - You only need to do clean snapshot, no need to run regular snapshot before - You do not need a device-id for HD 4600, only for the 4400 Besides that, seriously great video! I appreciate you going through and explaining everything, I know some people are pretty visual so they'll love this. Might even add it to the front page of the desktop guide for users
This is one genuine guy. I tried other tutorials to install macOS on Intel NUC but failed, however follwing this guide I was able to install it in first try. All I did was follow this guide and another youtube video regarding the BIOS settings of my PC and boom, its done. Thank you.
Probably the best guide on RUclips, even better than Snazzy Labs'. Many are incredibly basic or too obtuse, showing that being comprehensive and understandable in tech isn't a skill everyone has.
I just upgraded to a Ryzen-7 and Nvidia rig, but I really have a clear picture of the steps involved. A very informative and well produced guide. I enjoyed following along!

On thing is that licensing wasn't discussed so yes I think Apple will go after these guides. With tonymac hackintosh they get away with licensing because you need a mac to download the OS install so you already own one, this one is a gray line tbh.

@@ChrisTitusTech I watched the video and could tell that it must have been rather a pain in the ass to put together. Very involved with many steps. So that was my surmise. But if you had taken a day off to drink wine and sniff roses... Why not?
Great tutorial. I actually ran through this entire process myself a few weeks ago for my 3800X and i was interested in seeing how it differs between the two. The answer is barely, I had a few more kexts that you and it seemed like a fair few more edits to make in the config.plist but the basic premise was identical. Just one point of advice, when formatting a drive for Catalina you should use APFS and not Journaled since the OS will just convert the Journaled FS to APFS after you finish installing anyway. It saves a step later. I believe if you're installing anything older than Catalina you do need to use Journaled FS.
What board are using with your 3800x? I have the Gigabyte x570 Master and can not get clover or opencore to even boot to the installer but works all day long on my asus prime a with an i5.
OMG Titus this is a fantastic job! I finished my OpenCore bootloader (at 4am BR time), tomorrow I'm going to review everything and boot from USB. I compare this to install Ubuntu (Clover) x Arch (OpenCore) because you have control over almost everything, uses just the necessary and understand a lot more of how the magic happens 😃. Thank you for this tutorial, helped me so much 👊🏼. I have a Dell laptop 3421 with Atheros wi-fi adapter, works like a charm with Clover, minus BT of course. Don't use appleALC because my Realtek model it's not suported, voodooHDA for audio. Thanks braw, thanks to OpenCore freaks, that documentation is awesome!
Take a look at that, so much better, saved about 5GB of space compared to Clover, i dont know why, had the same apps and same docs like this one! ruclips.net/video/yqr34HPv6bU/видео.html
I run a Hackintosh running on Catalina 10.15.5 but there is an issue with sleep/wake for some reason. I gave up my research for fixing it but after watching how you pulled out the SSDT for the build, I am so tempted to try it for a fresh install now. I will keep you posted. I subscribed to your channel now. An awesome tutorial that I have seen for OpenCore where I would recommend this to anyone who I might come across for help with it.
I've used your linux videos a few times But you made this process a Billion times easier for me! just reading the guide had me a bit confused confused on some of the steps like gensmbios and propertree thank you for the video!
Thank you Chris! This guide has helped me to finish my Cougar QBX build. It just worked. That was my first install of OpenCore. I am now installing OpenCore Catalina on my main daily driver, a 3 year old build with Kaby Lake (Corsair Carbide case). I previously had Clover Mojave on that box. There were a few recurring issues with audio and preview that hopefully a fresh install and a new boot loader will help remedy. Thanks so much for the easy to follow tutorial. This time I even went a head and installed the python-tk as I knew it was coming.
Thanks for this video Chris! I followed your guide and got my Hackintosh up and running with zero issues. Running a Z390 mobo with Core i9 9900k and RX580
thank you very much!, last week i decided to build a hackintosh and then i found this video, what a great timing! you explain everything so clear thank alot!
@@ShiroCh_ID practice on a VM... otherwise just go for a distro like Manjaro which is based on Arch, I'm running the KDE flavor and other than some issues with dolphin, it's golden ;) There's also Manjaro Architect, have a look at it.
Nice tutorial, thanks Chris. One question here: are there any issues if we install the security updates on the OS? will the OS crash if we perform the updates?
Enthusiastic about trying this. But this whole process seems to be incredibly layered with complexity for the average user. Wow. I can say with confidence. Chris Titus is brilliant.
While I do appreciate your hands-on walkthrough to getting it done (thanks for ventoy btw - completely dodged my radar so far), it might be interesting to elaborate a bit on what you're actually doing there. Like, for example, what does ACPI actually do, and why do I need to set some values for things to "just look right" for macOS. (edit: and that you can use similar methods to migrate a baremetal machine into a VM without it really noticing, for example, or 'theoretically' move OEM locked licence keys between machines :cough: ) Keep on truckin' to 200k good sir :)
Eoahh I can't believe I just slepped through half of the video and woke up to u talking in my ears I'm like what who is always trying to outsmart me in my dream . Dam bro maybe I learned something subconsciously .
Sonu666 you don’t need a T2 chip for APFS... I have a flash drive partitioned with an encrypted APFS container and the other is a larger ExFAT partition. APFS has better performance and is just generally superior to HFS+ especially on solid state memory.
oh man thanks for this, i just bought all my new hardware and made sure they are compatible for macos I will be using opencore and was happy to find this video! It will be my weekend project, I hope it goes smoothly.
Please make a video on How to save battery for Laptops running Linux. My Asus ROG GL552JX goes from 100 to 0 in 40-45 minutes with NVIDIA Graphics turned off running Manjaro KDE.
But honestly tlp and powertop will only improve the battery life by half an hour or an hour max. I use a Window Manger instead of a DE and experience better battery life but if the hardware is not well supported on Linux, you are out of luck. Like a lot of people. Linux is not great on laptops yet. The only exception is the ThinkPad lineup and maybe some XPS.
I am a new viewer, just watching your Linux videos then i see this, you are on the top. i love your content and walkthroughs and wish you nothing but success.
Peter Hoddersen lies. if you made everything down to the config.plist correctly for your system, SSDTS and all other stuff you’ll have a system that can be updated without a problem. it’s a very clean install as the OS knows where all your hardware is and what it can and can’t do with it
What great timing! After hearing about Apple's transition to their silicon, I just recently got all the parts to create a Mac Pro equivalent. I already have a couple other hackintoshes from few years ago that use clover to boot. Was toying with the idea of using opencore on this one, and this video just popped into my life. Either RUclips or you have read my mind. Thank you, so much! One q though: I take it that opencore boots faster than clover?
@@sosurim Hadn't heard much about it. Now that you mention it I do vaguely remember hearing about that. That was only recently announced as a replacement for intel processors (in june). They haven't replaced the intel processors yet.
@@sosurim I did hear that the intel processors apple uses are co-designed by apple though. I mean I heard they contain at least a few differences from standard intel CPU's to meet the needs of Apple.
@@sashas3362 Please read up on current events. Apple announced they'll phase out of Intel CPUs by 2022, provide support for another two years. Also, there is ZERO co-development of the CPU between Intel and Apple. Intel is very secretive of their chip design and their microcode. They don't even allow custom SKU, something AMD allows. As this video shows, as well as hackintoshing in general, any normal Intel CPU will run macOS fine.
I have a Clover install that works perfectly on Mojave (9600k with RX570), but I will eventually switch to OC before I can update to Catalina and above. Never felt like deep diving into OC to potentially have a less stable machine, but now that I watched your well laid-out video, I will give it a try sometime soon.
I finally got around to trying OpenCore. Your guide was all around good. I had to change some bios settings (Z390 Asus motherboard) before I was able to get to the mac screen. Thanks.
HI @Chris while installing catlina I'm getting this error message : "Downloading installer information to the target volume failed" also tried disk utilities for disk error my disk if fine. Thanks for this video
Absolutely Amazing and detailed video i have seen on installing MAC OS so far. I will try installing Mac OS on my lenevo tiny tower today. Let's see if i can make it work this time.
I have a Mac os of 2007 running Snow leopard.The problem is I cannot use chrome browser and other new browser on it.The machine is somewhat useless in terms of internet.Any thoughts?
Thanks for sharing this. I like this method better than all other methods. I have a fully working hackintosh on a Dell XPS8920 running the latest OSX Catalina 10.15.5. The thing I like the most is by using this method ethernet and sound worked immediately instead of having to try to install their drivers later and hoping for the best.
Hey Chris, I actually tried this on my Lenovo Ideapad, and it failed, though I really enjoyed watching the tutorial and will try it again on a different pc. Awesome content.
This was the best tutorial I encountered though sometimes it was to fast to follow but it was the best! I tried for the first time to do a hackintosh and followed this tutorial and it was success with only one thing that did not work and it was audio... I guess I have to learn how to do after build modifications now. I used Lenovo M93p Tiny for this and the only thing that does not work is wifi (but I had spare usb wifi adapter that worked) and audio (still do not work) since I do not know how to fix this. Keep doing great work!!!
bro this is just for information. and education.....Some people like me who can't afford mac but they need a mac to compile hybrid cross platfrom apps for example flutter and react native...we require this crApple mac..
This is an amazing Video and I am going try this out as only few I needed a MAC Device to test some of the issues I came across. Very much appreciated Thank you Chris.
When I last attempted following the opencore guides I was constantly confused by how some things were worded with the DSDT and later information. This video made it make a lot more sense. I will be attempting again on an ssd I'll be using for macos. Sadly due to my GPU and apple and nvidia disagreeing I can only use high Sierra. But that will be decent enough for me
Nice video, thanks. Followed the OpenCore guide for AMD Ryzen: works great!! However, waking up from sleep would not work (black screen) Using AMD Radeon 5700 XT: any ideas please?
I haven't seen this on my system. I have a Vega 64, but I have noticed the occasional sleep issue. I generally just let my monitor sleep and either turn my system off or leave it running.
Chris Titus Tech > the issue also occurs when the monitor goes to sleep (black screen and never wake up even if macOS is still running). Not an option for me I’m afraid to leave the Hackintosh up and running at all times. Should I need an additional kext or change a config.plist parameter?
Great video thank you ! I'm not using hackintosh anymore on real pc but on VM (kvm) with opencore and Gpu passthrough for acceleration and everything is working great ! Like you said Opencore is really a great macos project very clean and well documented ! One of the best I've seen in hackintosh world !
Sad thing is that this isn't not at all the best way to run macOS on "any PC" as clearly it has hardware limitations. A video that Linus did way back which used qemu to emulated macOS on Arch Linux still feels to be the best way to run macOS on "any PC"... Just information for people who might not be in a financial position to purchase new stuff around this time of events. Note: Not suitable for tasks such as Audio Editing due to the large latency introduced by the emulation process.
Emulated macOS add lot of latency. Like I make music and I wouldn't be able to work on that just cuz of audio latency. There's really no way to emulate that full macOS experience, untill and unless you can replace your motherboard's firmware with a macOS compatible custom firmware which is something a project named Ozmosis did but that was discontinued because it didn't get enough attention by the hackintosh community.
I tried doing a Hackintosh from the video guide here. After about 8 hrs I gave up and got the MacBook out and followed the Dortania OpenCore guide. I can see why Chris wanted to demonstrate this way... BUT, if you have a Mac or access to a Mac... Follow the the Mac Instructions in the Dortania Guide. It really is more straight forward unless you very comfortable with Linux
I love Chris Titus. This guy knows his stuff, and his channel always helps me. I love Linux, but I'm waiting for the time when I can game AND do music prod + many other things on Linux, which is coming soon. You're the best Chris! Been subbed since 6k!
It definitely requires some intermediate to advanced tech knowledge if you're trying to make sense of it. If you follow this as a step-for-step walkthrough, along with the listed website, you should be able to follow the instructions with minimal difficulty.
Thanks for the great video was hoping to build a PC which I could run windows, Linux, and mac without having to buy an actual mac as i have some audio projects on logic pro that i wanted to complete someday, and this very detailed and in depth video has made me hopeful.... Thanks for the work you do, all the best!

I will keep you posted.
I subscribed to your channel now. An awesome tutorial that I have seen for OpenCore where I would recommend this to anyone who I might come across for help with it.
I'm already using a Mac and I still watched the entire video for some reason
It took me 2 days to create bootable USB and successfully run it on my i7 6700k with Asus z170 Maximus Formula. Thanks a lot for this awesome guide.
Great Job. Only thing missing would be how to setup a dual boot with a boot manager
so there is no dual boot?
There, but for the best you can also use windows recovery environment as boot manager.
@@ilaario there is i believe its called windows boot camp assistant? I think it is idk though
i use refind + OpenCore btw
I've used your linux videos a few times But you made this process a Billion times easier for me! just reading the guide had me a bit confused confused on some of the steps like gensmbios and propertree thank you for the video!
If you install anything higher than High Sierra you need to format the HD as APFS.
Yup, he missed that one
Mojave technically still supports HFS+
@@gej36138 Yes, but you can't download system updates unless you are on APFS.
Umm can I install Catalina on second partition of my GPT disk? I have windows on the other partition? or is it not possible without separate disk?
The guide has changed a little bit since this was posted so things will be quite different, so please refer to the OFFICIAL guide people !
+1 but its still useful
can I use my laptop to install this or only pc?
@@hemanth7421 dude look up on the dortania guide and r/hackintosh subreddit and some forums!!!
I've been dabbling in Hackintosh since 2010 and this has been by FAR the best explained and well done walk-through I've ever seen. THANK. YOU.
Thank you Chris! This guide has helped me to finish my Cougar QBX build. It just worked. That was my first install of OpenCore. I am now installing OpenCore Catalina on my main daily driver, a 3 year old build with Kaby Lake (Corsair Carbide case). I previously had Clover Mojave on that box. There were a few recurring issues with audio and preview that hopefully a fresh install and a new boot loader will help remedy. Thanks so much for the easy to follow tutorial. This time I even went a head and installed the python-tk as I knew it was coming.
Hey I really appreciate this. This just became my Sunday project.
Mine too xD
@@silv9294 mINE TOO (:
Thanks for this video Chris! I followed your guide and got my Hackintosh up and running with zero issues. Running a Z390 mobo with Core i9 9900k and RX580
thank you very much!, last week i decided to build a hackintosh and then i found this video, what a great timing! you explain everything so clear thank alot!
I've install macOS via Opencore before...but I'm sticking with Arch linux. It's just too good.
pacman -Syyu always the lastest Linux.
Honestly, Arch stopped me from distro hopping.
@@sage5578 I'm beginning to do the same. Fedora was up there, but I installed Arch a week ago and just absolutely love it.
want to try arch but i am stoll afraid
but weirdly enough i use ubuntu server as base like chris do
@@ShiroCh_ID practice on a VM... otherwise just go for a distro like Manjaro which is based on Arch, I'm running the KDE flavor and other than some issues with dolphin, it's golden ;) There's also Manjaro Architect, have a look at it.
Where was this tutorial 10 years ago!!!! Great work
Nice tutorial, thanks Chris. One question here: are there any issues if we install the security updates on the OS? will the OS crash if we perform the updates?
YES! I really want to know too! please reply Chris!
No
Enthusiastic about trying this. But this whole process seems to be incredibly layered with complexity for the average user. Wow. I can say with confidence. Chris Titus is brilliant.
While I do appreciate your hands-on walkthrough to getting it done (thanks for ventoy btw - completely dodged my radar so far), it might be interesting to elaborate a bit on what you're actually doing there. Like, for example, what does ACPI actually do, and why do I need to set some values for things to "just look right" for macOS. (edit: and that you can use similar methods to migrate a baremetal machine into a VM without it really noticing, for example, or 'theoretically' move OEM locked licence keys between machines :cough: )
Keep on truckin' to 200k good sir :)
Read the links provided, it goes in to details on specifics. Or just google ACPI etc.
Eoahh I can't believe I just slepped through half of the video and woke up to u talking in my ears I'm like what who is always trying to outsmart me in my dream . Dam bro maybe I learned something subconsciously .
And the best thing I'm taking out of this is getting rid of default BIOS screen.
It was a loong day of trial and error for me but I got it working eventually. Awesome guide!
Amazing! Worked perfectly with Big Sur. Thank you so muuuch
Awesome video spent 4 hours myself finally Catalina all good bro!
Thanks for this video tutorial, I used for installing macOS Big Sur and everything works fine!.
Greetings
This is exactly what I was looking for all the time!!! Thanks a lot for this great tutorial... Can't wait to test it on some machines that I have.
33:05 you should consider using apfs instead of HFS
I think it auto converts post install anyway
it doesn't have the T2 chip you knob it handles encryption on AFS file systems performance is poor without it hence HFS
Sonu666 you don’t need a T2 chip for APFS... I have a flash drive partitioned with an encrypted APFS container and the other is a larger ExFAT partition. APFS has better performance and is just generally superior to HFS+ especially on solid state memory.
oh man thanks for this, i just bought all my new hardware and made sure they are compatible for macos I will be using opencore and was happy to find this video! It will be my weekend project, I hope it goes smoothly.
update: I completed the build with opencore and its working 100% its god damn beautiful! so happy with how everything turned out.
Please make a video on How to save battery for Laptops running Linux. My Asus ROG GL552JX goes from 100 to 0 in 40-45 minutes with NVIDIA Graphics turned off running Manjaro KDE.
the tlp and powerman packages might be usefull for you
check this page out www.makeuseof.com/tag/easily-increase-battery-life-tlp-linux/
But honestly tlp and powertop will only improve the battery life by half an hour or an hour max.
I use a Window Manger instead of a DE and experience better battery life but if the hardware is not well supported on Linux, you are out of luck. Like a lot of people.
Linux is not great on laptops yet. The only exception is the ThinkPad lineup and maybe some XPS.
Dude, I get 2hrs on Linux on an Asus laptop that is more than 2yrs old
Same on Manjaro, but Pop!_OS is working flawlessly for me
I am a new viewer, just watching your Linux videos then i see this, you are on the top. i love your content and walkthroughs and wish you nothing but success.
This the most amazing tutorial I have ever seen well done , I just have a question how can you update the OS to the higher versions ?
i think from the app store as same as we update the real mac
You should never update Ios hackintosh. You will need to do the whole install again.
Peter Hoddersen lies. if you made everything down to the config.plist correctly for your system, SSDTS and all other stuff you’ll have a system that can be updated without a problem. it’s a very clean install as the OS knows where all your hardware is and what it can and can’t do with it
Peter Hoddersen that was true years ago but not a problem for several years.
Great video!!! It was interesting seeing all the steps you went through. Thanks for taking the time to produce this!
What great timing! After hearing about Apple's transition to their silicon, I just recently got all the parts to create a Mac Pro equivalent. I already have a couple other hackintoshes from few years ago that use clover to boot. Was toying with the idea of using opencore on this one, and this video just popped into my life. Either RUclips or you have read my mind. Thank you, so much!
One q though: I take it that opencore boots faster than clover?
What do you mean by "their silicon"?
@@sashas3362 Apple's A series SOC's
@@sosurim Hadn't heard much about it. Now that you mention it I do vaguely remember hearing about that. That was only recently announced as a replacement for intel processors (in june). They haven't replaced the intel processors yet.
@@sosurim I did hear that the intel processors apple uses are co-designed by apple though. I mean I heard they contain at least a few differences from standard intel CPU's to meet the needs of Apple.
@@sashas3362 Please read up on current events. Apple announced they'll phase out of Intel CPUs by 2022, provide support for another two years. Also, there is ZERO co-development of the CPU between Intel and Apple. Intel is very secretive of their chip design and their microcode. They don't even allow custom SKU, something AMD allows. As this video shows, as well as hackintoshing in general, any normal Intel CPU will run macOS fine.
That was one of the best videos I have seen on this subject. Thank you.
17:50 i am having issues with the ssdt after hitting 3 i get this error "Could not locate PR00 parent! Aborting!"
me too! I still don't know what I might be doing wrong. Do you have ryzen?
OMG this video is the best walkthough for people that are new to that kind of advanced stuff.
At 18:06 i didn't get the SSDT-PLUG.aml
does anyone have any idea?
Look near 29:40
One of the best guides out there....just had my Alienware 18 installed with Big sur MacOS
Can't wait to get this going on my IBM PC. /s
I prefer the 8086 or 8088-based microprocessors. They're raw powerhouses.
@@aviaspotter32 to indicate humor
14:33 I have 2 EFI folders on that zip. One is IA32, the other one X64. Which one should I take?
I have a Clover install that works perfectly on Mojave (9600k with RX570), but I will eventually switch to OC before I can update to Catalina and above. Never felt like deep diving into OC to potentially have a less stable machine, but now that I watched your well laid-out video, I will give it a try sometime soon.
You are honestly the man, Chris!! Thank you for not chopping this video up too :D
Excellent! Thanks for the time and learning experience. Really makes me appreciate Linux even more ;~)
This really helped! I used yours and another RUclipsrs advice, and did it myself. Very well put together. Thanks all
@Chris Titus Tech I want to install on my laptop but along the side of windows shrink some volume of the inbuilt HDD help me, please
I finally got around to trying OpenCore. Your guide was all around good. I had to change some bios settings (Z390 Asus motherboard) before I was able to get to the mac screen. Thanks.
HI @Chris
while installing catlina I'm getting this error message : "Downloading installer information to the target volume failed"
also tried disk utilities for disk error my disk if fine.
Thanks for this video
This is the best hackintosh guide i ever watched.
Absolutely Amazing and detailed video i have seen on installing MAC OS so far. I will try installing Mac OS on my lenevo tiny tower today. Let's see if i can make it work this time.
I have a Mac os of 2007 running Snow leopard.The problem is I cannot use chrome browser and other new browser on it.The machine is somewhat useless in terms of internet.Any thoughts?
Any luck?
Try dosdude1’s macOS patchers DKM
@@Csab6482 A Briton guided me on it.He sent me the versions from 10.6-10.12.
I have installed and it's now ok with chrome,apple store etc.
@@christianestrada6095 Late reply, but no luck.
Thanks for sharing this. I like this method better than all other methods. I have a fully working hackintosh on a Dell XPS8920 running the latest OSX Catalina 10.15.5. The thing I like the most is by using this method ethernet and sound worked immediately instead of having to try to install their drivers later and hoping for the best.
Hey Chris, I actually tried this on my Lenovo Ideapad, and it failed, though I really enjoyed watching the tutorial and will try it again on a different pc. Awesome content.
Thanks bro! I never used Opencore and your video was essential for my learning, everything is working very well here.
See this two days after I requested a Mac for my going away present from my company... oh well :p
At least you didn't have to go through the hassle of doing this.
@@justsomerandompersononthei2595 yeah but in the end I had to sell the Mac to get something useful 😝
This was the best tutorial I encountered though sometimes it was to fast to follow but it was the best! I tried for the first time to do a hackintosh and followed this tutorial and it was success with only one thing that did not work and it was audio... I guess I have to learn how to do after build modifications now. I used Lenovo M93p Tiny for this and the only thing that does not work is wifi (but I had spare usb wifi adapter that worked) and audio (still do not work) since I do not know how to fix this. Keep doing great work!!!
"If you thought Windows was horrible, let's install some crApple mac!"
bro this is just for information. and education.....Some people like me who can't afford mac but they need a mac to compile hybrid cross platfrom apps for example flutter and react native...we require this crApple mac..
This is an amazing Video and I am going try this out as only few I needed a MAC Device to test some of the issues I came across. Very much appreciated Thank you Chris.
can you develop ios apps after you install macos this way?
I do apps in this way
@@outrowender with xcode?
Yes you can build and deploy from a hackintosh
@@claudiogalleguillos4907 yes. Build and deploy on Apple store
When I last attempted following the opencore guides I was constantly confused by how some things were worded with the DSDT and later information. This video made it make a lot more sense. I will be attempting again on an ssd I'll be using for macos. Sadly due to my GPU and apple and nvidia disagreeing I can only use high Sierra. But that will be decent enough for me
Nice video, thanks. Followed the OpenCore guide for AMD Ryzen: works great!!
However, waking up from sleep would not work (black screen)
Using AMD Radeon 5700 XT: any ideas please?
I have yet seen anyone get sleep working on a ryzen. Most just disable sleep.
I haven't seen this on my system. I have a Vega 64, but I have noticed the occasional sleep issue. I generally just let my monitor sleep and either turn my system off or leave it running.
Chris Titus Tech > the issue also occurs when the monitor goes to sleep (black screen and never wake up even if macOS is still running). Not an option for me I’m afraid to leave the Hackintosh up and running at all times. Should I need an additional kext or change a config.plist parameter?
Great video thank you ! I'm not using hackintosh anymore on real pc but on VM (kvm) with opencore and Gpu passthrough for acceleration and everything is working great ! Like you said Opencore is really a great macos project very clean and well documented ! One of the best I've seen in hackintosh world !
Idk why I'm watching this. I already built my Hackintosh.
does it improves your device's overall performance or is it the same with just mac os in it?
@@malaybansal783 It's just your system with MacOS. If you want to improve performance install a Linux distro.
Did you use opencore or a VM?
@@balogunakanbi6329 I used OpenCore
Wow. This is so detail. And easy to follow. New subscriber here.
There's a project on GitHub called itwlm, they are porting from BSD I think Intel wireless cards into Mac os kexts.
Have you tried it? And if you have, any tips on install?
So informative with all the details needed. result you can't stuck at all
Thx a lot CTT awesome as always
Sad thing is that this isn't not at all the best way to run macOS on "any PC" as clearly it has hardware limitations. A video that Linus did way back which used qemu to emulated macOS on Arch Linux still feels to be the best way to run macOS on "any PC"... Just information for people who might not be in a financial position to purchase new stuff around this time of events.
Note: Not suitable for tasks such as Audio Editing due to the large latency introduced by the emulation process.
Emulated macOS add lot of latency. Like I make music and I wouldn't be able to work on that just cuz of audio latency. There's really no way to emulate that full macOS experience, untill and unless you can replace your motherboard's firmware with a macOS compatible custom firmware which is something a project named Ozmosis did but that was discontinued because it didn't get enough attention by the hackintosh community.
@@Yash-qs8iu Ozmosis was too good for its time. I wish it comes back.
YourGamesGuide Official does OpenCore method as shown in the above video, not introduce any major latency?
I tried doing a Hackintosh from the video guide here. After about 8 hrs I gave up and got the MacBook out and followed the Dortania OpenCore guide. I can see why Chris wanted to demonstrate this way... BUT, if you have a Mac or access to a Mac... Follow the the Mac Instructions in the Dortania Guide. It really is more straight forward unless you very comfortable with Linux
Didn't understand a single thing, but nice vid xd.
Watch one more time.
Excellent guide. Have you tried this with an Intel laptop?
Thank you! I was able to do it. It works great!
do iMessage and Facetime work?
great, now I may try.
Good stuff I followed the guide and it was awesome :D
Dont see the dmg :/ anyone can help ?
Same here
Liel Dahan solved it, just created the usb in windows.
@@paulherter-animation Thanks! :)

I found this nearly impossible to follow
It definitely requires some intermediate to advanced tech knowledge if you're trying to make sense of it. If you follow this as a step-for-step walkthrough, along with the listed website, you should be able to follow the instructions with minimal difficulty.

dont you love it, when you try this, follow it as much u possible can to be greeted at the final step by a error.... awesome
like i'm serious, i need help >.
Everytime I try following videos like these
What does the error say? I can help

I see a guy who installed a Hackintosh on full NVIDIA PC, so it's possible. I'm not sure but I think it was a GTX 1060, I7 6700
Nvidia requires older macOS, on newer version it will not work - no driver support, middle finger from Apple.

What version?
Mark High Sierra is the latest supported
Thanks for the great video was hoping to build a PC which I could run windows, Linux, and mac without having to buy an actual mac as i have some audio projects on logic pro that i wanted to complete someday, and this very detailed and in depth video has made me hopeful.... Thanks for the work you do, all the best!
