JJDizz1L Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I haven't been apart of the Hackintosh community for a while, but I want to give it a try on my laptop. Here are the specs and my situation. I want to use the laptop's internal display and the discrete NVIDIA graphics. I haven't even had a chance to install the MacOS... I know such a noob!

JJDizz1L Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 I want to follow your install guide, but the problem is 10.10, 10.11, 10.12 are no longer downloadable in the Mac App Store. However, I was able to download the latest 10.13 High Sierra. It would only download a container file that did not represent the entire installation. I resolved this by downloading 'macOS High Sierra Patcher'. It allows you to receive the actual full installer from Apple directly. So now as I follow the USB guide there are many discrepancies as I try to follow along because the 10.13 installation file directories are vastly different from previous builds. I think we can build a new installation guide together! PS the ShowHiddenFiles app is definitely needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
