    Part 1: Preparation

    1. Check Hardware Compatibility

    Before starting, ensure that your hardware is compatible with macOS. The best way to check
    compatibility is to visit the Hackintosh compatibility website. Here are some general
    guidelines:

    • Processor: Intel processors are generally more compatible than AMD. Most Intel i3,
    i5, i7, and i9 processors work well.
    • Motherboard: Look for motherboards with UEFI support. Gigabyte and ASUS
    motherboards are often recommended.
    • Graphics Card: NVIDIA graphics cards up to the 900 series and most AMD Radeon
    cards are supported.
    • RAM: At least 4GB, but 8GB or more is recommended.
    • Storage: An SSD is preferable for better performance.

    2. Gather Necessary Tools

    You will need the following tools:

    • macOS Installer: You can download this from the App Store on a real Mac or find it
    through various Hackintosh communities.
    • UniBeast and MultiBeast: Tools from tonymacx86 to create a bootable USB and
    post-installation configuration.
    • USB Drive: At least 16GB.
    • Clover Configurator: A tool to manage the Clover bootloader.
    • Disk Utility: For formatting drives (built into macOS).

    Part 2: Creating a Bootable macOS USB Drive

    To create a macOS installer, you need access to a Mac. If you don't have one, consider
    borrowing from a friend or using a Mac at a library or school.

    3. Enter your password if prompted and let UniBeast create the bootable USB. This may
    take some time.

    device.
    3. Select the USB drive to boot from.

    o Scheme: GUID Partition Map
    6. Click "Erase" and close Disk Utility.
    7. Continue with the installation by selecting the target drive and following the prompts.

    3. Post-Installation with MultiBeast

    1. Once the installation is complete, the system will reboot.


    2. Boot from the USB drive again but this time select "Boot macOS from macOS".
    3. Complete the macOS setup process.
    4. Once on the desktop, open Safari and download MultiBeast from tonymacx86.
    5. Open MultiBeast and configure the following:

    2. Copy these kexts to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.

    Troubleshooting

    1. Black Screen After Boot: Check your graphics card settings and ensure you're using
    compatible kexts.
    2. No Sound: Verify that the correct audio driver is installed and configured.
    3. No Internet: Check that the appropriate network driver is installed and configured.
    4. System Instability: Ensure all components are compatible and properly configured in
    the BIOS.
