Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 11, 2021 Moderators Share Posted November 11, 2021 Welcome to OSXL! 1st thing would be to post the system's full spec. Then let use know what version of MacOS re you trying to install Specs needed: CPU Audio Codec Touchpad type Wifi / BT model Ethernet SD card reader if there's one Display full resolution BIOS version If you have Windows install, probably easiest it to post the output of dxdiag.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2021 Latitude E5400/E5500 is an old Core2Duo laptop quite similar to old E6400 (Intel graphics) model. Those are fitted with Series 4 chipset graphics, i.e. Intel GMA 4500MHD which is totally unsupported. Lack of graphics acceleration makes this old laptop totally unsuitable as a Hackintosh. 1st thing to do when considering running OS X/macOS on a PC is gather the hardware specs and check if they're compatible/supported, the key elements being CPU and GPU.
