If your business goes down because of us then we are not responsible for that. Now let’s keep the jokes side and start our article.
What is hackintosh?
A hackintosh is any system other than a Mac that a user modifies to run the Apple operating system. Even though Apple doesn’t support or allow running Mac OS X on an other PC, with the proper hardware and enough hard work, it is possible to install Mac OS on other PC too. The term ‘Hackintosh’ comes from the fact that we’ll need to hack the software for it to properly run on the hardware. Of course, some of the hardware needs to be tweaked and twisted in some cases as well. It requires supporting hardware in order to install Mac OS and create our Hackintosh.
Requirements for Installing Mac os on windows
There are some of the requirements that are needed for running the PC with Mac OS. To create Hackintosh successfully without getting errors we need to have these requirements.
- Niresh Mojave (OS)file provided by Hackintoshzone. We will use Niresh Mojave. You can use Catalina too
- USB drive of more than 8GB storage. I recommend 16GB
- TransMac or balena etcher like software to write the disk image file onto your USB drive. I am using transmac.
- Secondary hard drives more than 60GB and need to be GPT.
- UEFI mode
Supportable hardware and metal supported graphic card but metal is not necessary to install macOS. Metal is the foundation for accelerated graphics and compute on Apple platforms, enabling your apps and games to tap into the incredible power of the GPU.
