Need help with installing Mojave on my non-mac PC

Specs: Intel i7-8700k, Asus GTX 1080ti, Asus Maximus X Code

I want to know if my hardware is supported or not.

I tried to follow a guide to configure the bios settings and followed a Youtube video to download the Mac OS (which i downloaded)

and create the bootable flash drive using trans mac since I don't have a Mac. 

But following all those steps got me stuck on booting issue where i keep getting stuck on a flashing underscore " _ " 

Can someone please shed some light on what is the problem?

the bootloader is not loading. try change you bios to uefi or legacy. i think hackintosh need uefi to work.

How to do that? Can't find the option...
Edit: Found it and enabled it but then flash drive doesn't appear in boot menu devices after F8.

hackintosh is not easy as 1,2,3. Different motherboard different treatment, you must fiddle the bios until you get the right options. That's the fun of it.

Underscore at boot is definitely the usb not booting.

The best way is to search a tutorial specifically for your motherboard model (not just brand). 

After that your homework would be getting all your parts running on that system.

have fun...
