How to INSTALL Hackintosh on ANY AMD PC Without Mac in 2020 ? (Legacy Mode) | Setup + Bios Settings
If you are bored of your old windows pc, the Crotona, the same old UI, the blue screen of death. Then you are at the correct place, I have created a video on YouTube in which I showed you a step by step tutorial on how to install mackintosh on your non mac pc or in my case an AMD computer if you want to watch that video I will link it right over here, for now I will include the important links that we need while installing the macOS on our AMD computer
My Pc specification for AMD Sierra
Processor – AMD Fx-6300 Black Edition 6 cores
Ram – 4 GB
Motherboard – GIGABYTE GA78LMT-USB3
Graphics Card – NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti
1) Checking for the compatibility
Not a whole lot of processors especially the AMD ones are compatible with the hackintosh Operating system but thankfully we have a website from where we can find out the compatibility of the processor to check just visit http://cpuboss.com/ and search for your processor (mine is the FX-6300 6 cores black edition) scroll down to features and if your CPU is compatible you will get a 1 instruction set if it is there then follow the rest of the guide if not then you cannot install the Sierra.
2) Downloading the Python Installer
If you are using the cmd method to download the dmg file and creating a bootable usb for your hackintosh machine then you will have to install the latest python drivers on your pc , you can download then from here – https://www.python.org/
3) Downloading the Sierra (dmg) file
Links to download the Sierra (12.16.4) this is the same one that i used in the video
– SierraAMDv5.2 – http://bit.ly/2qJ2vLb
4) Making the USB boot-able
You will have to download TransMac software this will make the pen-drive bootable with the macOS, this will also make the pendrive format into the GUID format which is readable by macOS.
Link to download the software – https://www.acutesystems.com/scrtm.htm
5) Changing the Bios Settings
There are a lot of tweaks that you can do to make the installation smoother but basically you will only need to make this one change
INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS – ON CHIP SATA TYPE – AHCI
this is basically it if you want then you can disable or enable the 3.0 USB hubs if you want but that is not mandatory
6) Boot Arguments
You will have to add the following boot arguments while installing the macOS,
please note – you will have to change it later when you have installed the macOS and installed the clover bootloader
boot arguments = ncpi=0x3000 -v nv_disable=1
7) Installing NVIDIA Web Drivers
to install web drivers you will have to download the necessary web drivers for your graphic card mine is the NVIDIA GTX 750TI
Link – https://www.tonymacx86.com/nvidia-drivers/
add the following command ( this is enable the graphic card, we previously stopped them in step 6)
nvda_drv=1
That’s all folks !
which feature(Instruction set extension) of processor is required?
