Insert the USB drive into the Mac and search for ‘Disk Utility’.

Once you’ve downloaded MacOS Sierra, it’ll appear in Applications.

The faster the drive, the faster the installation process.

Another thing that you’ll need is a fast USB 3.0 drive with at least 16GB of storage.

or higher for creating the bootable drive, and MultiBeast-which is necessary for the post-installation process, from the downloads section onto your Mac. Assuming you’ve completed the sign-up procedure, download UniBeast 7.0.1.

Now as I mentioned earlier, the tools necessary for making the build possible are available on TonyMacX86 website.

Just download it, don’t hit install when prompted. Once you find it, download it onto the system.

Once you’ve found a machine with the latest OS version installed, head on to the app store and search for MacOS Sierra.

For this step, we’ll need a working Mac machine running MacOS Sierra.

Once you’ve got your hardware in place, we’ll proceed to the next step- Creating a Hackintosh Installation drive.

Once your hardware configuration is set, we’ll start with the actual Hackintosh preparation.

AMD is supported by default, for an Nvidia GPU, you’ll need to install a driver later from here to run things smoothly.

You can pair up an AMD or Nvidia GPU with your machine.

Also, make sure you back up your data before proceeding with the Hackintosh.

We’d strongly recommend you to get a secondary/ spare HDD for this build, and not the one you’ve used on your Windows or Linux build as you’ll be using the hard drive in a different format, which won’t be compatible with Windows OS or any other OS after that.

A clean 7200RPM HDD with at least 500GB of storage space should do the trick too.

A fresh SSD would do great for the build, so if you have a spare lying around, that should be your first choice.

Sadly there is no support for the latest 7th Generation Core processors, and the 200 series chipset for now. For the processor, at least an Intel Core i3 3220T or higher along with a compatible motherboard with UEFI BIOS works great. Also, make sure you have at least 8GB of RAM for a smooth user experience.For starters, We’d strongly recommend getting an Intel CPU, as AMD’s are not well supported with a Hackintosh.

For a smooth running Hackintosh, a few checks in the hardware are necessary.

We’ll be using software by TonyMacX86 for creating our MacOS USB, and the only way you to get your hands on this software is by signing up at the website. These requisites include hardware recommendations as well as a few additional things necessary. The difficulty level for this guide is Expert.īefore you begin with Hackintosh, there are a few pre-requisites necessary to have a successful build and installation. We’ll be installing Apple’s latest MacOS Sierra, for this Hackintosh. Hackintosh is a custom PC build specifically made specifically for running MacOS and is made using hardware from a normal PC.
