The Complete Hackintosh Guide - Intel and AMD, no macOS Required!

[@BrandonYen]

macOS Monterey is out, and so is my new guide! I listened to a lot of your feedback on my videos and you can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpzbpJWeh61qbdU

[@deejayturbulance]

do the random texts keep appearing everytime you boot your pc

[@Gaming_Stuff]

@@deejayturbulance normally yes, it’s used to debug any kind of errors you could see but I think there’s a place in the config.plist where you can change that, not sure where though

[@ThePurpleBenchRC]

I’ve been (unsuccessfully) trying to install Catalina for weeks now after going from a GTX 1070 to a 5600 XT, and after following your video, it worked within ONE TRY. Thank you!!!

[@odijin]

Hey Brandon, I finally got the wi-fi on my build to work. Now it's running flawlessly. I'm little surprised how stable it is. I have everything working and what amazed me even more is that I was able to update Big Sur to the latest (as of today) version 11.3 from 11.2.3 and everything remains functional and stable. Never experienced a crash, nothing. Thanks again Brendon!!!

[@claudiugrosan4746]

Can u also update to monterey?

[@ARCJavMaster]

Hey Brandon, first thanks for your video: you are very good explaining what others fail, I've been reading Dortania over and over without understanding. With your video a lot of concepts just got them right. Hope you make more explaining how to add specific Kexts, what are they for, add startup sound, etc. Your explaining would make it understandable. Cheers and congratulations on your great channel!

[@jameswallace6249]

This was the perfect guide for me as I was new to everything. I have just finished my first build with everything working including handoff/continuity etc. Thanks for providing such a great starting point and great content

[@faizan9809]

[@absolutelyproprietary6896]

I'm a programmer and I wanted to try macOS a bit. Installed it on a external drive with your guide. Very clear tutorial. Searched all over the internet and couldn't find another guide that mentions everything. Though I'll probably go back to arch linux, mac is not my thing but thank you for at least teaching me how to try it

[@awesamos]

Boy, You earned my respect. Nothing was working for me even after 48 hrs of sleepless struggle and dozens of videos and forum instructions found your video. whoa, Got it in one go. Thank you. Appreciate your work. You deserve subscribe too.

[@chrisarmstrong8083]

I've watched this video an unhealthy amount of times, might actually try it one day

[@cubicspider1540]

Trust me when I say this, but the config.plist is not easy, but it sure is really fun to do when you know where to find things

[@uunz4075]

Im gonna try only because I dont have anymore respect for Bill Gates and the nefarious activities thats coming out about him. If I can get away from his products, I will.

[@jeanron1466]

which motherboard did u use? i'm having a headache with a B450-F gaming,

[@MakerVerse]

@@jeanron1466 PRIME A320M-K/BR I have two macs in my computer one is a VM (vmware) and another one is installed in another ssd, I don't see any difference in performance between them, everything worked fine except for my video card that is not compatible. My card is GeForce GTX 1060 3G

[@Praxss]

Pro tip: 1) prefer usb 2.0 port 2) don’t use fancy monitors for first boot. Use simple 1080p60hz monitor. After setup you can use any thing 3) Use most of things with wire(keyboard, mouse, ethernet,etc)

[@DXVXD]

Thanks. I was following the guide correctly but this video gave me some confidence that I am not doing something wrong since I could check with your video on the go. My hackintosh is running smoothly now. It's great

[@ericng8928]

Hi Brandon , everything was very clear , until the part where SSDTs ( Mine was Ivy bridge ) @ the CPU-PM , im totally lost, would appreciate if u could share some tips on moving forward. Thanks in advance!

[@JonathanogKarsten]

Just finished my first install using your video as baseline. Spend a couple hours reading through the guide and change my plist. Everything worked, even my Asus pcie wifi after some reading (AirPortBrcm4360_Injector.kext must be blocked in Big Sur) Thumbs up. I subbed! Keep up the good work :)

[@own-3m-all999]

Thanks for this guide. Setting up a Hackintosh is still tricky even with all of the information provided in the video. Some of the documentation could be clearer from OpenCore, but overall, this is a very good video. Once I figured everything out, I was able to get Big Sur 11.5.2 installed no problem and used a different SSD for High Sierra so that I could install Nvidia drivers. So, thanks to this video, I have succeeded with 2 Hackintoshes!!! Running a Ryzen here on a Asrock Taichi x370 motherboard.

[@Meekmillan]

I’m sick of having nothing but issues with clover boot since building my hackintosh in 2018, so I’m coming to open core. Preciate the super simple guide.

Not with this method because it requires you to format the drive so that the MAC OS can install to it. You would need a separate drive. Even an external drive would work

instead of copy as path you can navigate into the folder and then type cmd into the directory bar at the top. does the same thing i just think its a little easier.

Hi there, you can do that by install windows or any other os you want on the other ssd… make sure that the ssd of hackintosh (macOS) is first to boot (configure that from bios in boot order section) and no the other ssd, and from the OC (OpenCore) bootloader, choose windows or any kind of os you’ve installed and that’s it… you’ve got 2 operating systems in your pc. Let me know if you’re don’t understand something .

P.s If you’re gotten already another os installed on your pc, you can also boot that from the OC bootloader. Just make sure that the “mac” ssd with the bootloader is first to boot.
