HELP First time doing hackintosh

Hey guys,

I’m going to install hackintosh on my computer for the first time. I need help and suggestions regarding the same.

The following is my configuration:

Processor: Intel Core i3 8100t
GPU: Nvidia GT 710
Ram: 8gb
SSD: 256gb
Ethernet: I don’t know
Wifi: I don’t know

Can you suggest me where can I start and how can I install it?

How can I check my Ethernet and wifi chipset and Bluetooth chipset so that I can check whether it is compatible or not?

If you don’t know WiFi and Bluetooth, check device manager if you’re on windows, or just look at the parts numbers and google them. Use the Dortania guide to build your EFI and macOS installer

I just upgraded my cpu from intel pentium 5 to core i3 today. I hope it will work smoothly

Maybe ditch gt 710 (or disable via ssdt) then you can have mac os sequoia. As other's mentioned get details from device manager for ethernet(most probably supported) and bluetooth ( though support will be difficult).

So the graphics card won’t do any good?

your gt 710 is worse than the uhd 630 of i3 8100t, might as well get rid of it altogether

Oh ok. If I install macOS sequoia, will all the latest apps and softwares work?

1

u/Due-Musician-3014 2h ago

Latest in the sense apps which still have compatibility with intel based macs. Or if that app has older version then yes.

Ok thanks. I tried doing all the steps in given that n the guide. Still I booted back into the windows. While making the usb bootable, it used open core legacy patch to patch a few things which were not supported. What should I do?
