Hackintosh without mac.

[DirtyDan1337]

My pc is capable of being turned into a hackintosh and I was wondering if there was a good tutorial on how to download high sierra or mojave and install it without access to a mac. I have an i5 4690k and a gtx 1060.

Are you.... SURE it's capable of being a hackintosh? The hardware restrictions are pretty severe last time I looked. 

 

As for obtaining MacOS, the only way I know how is via the app store on a mac. Or by means we're not allowed to discuss here.

Nope, it's permitted now.

Torrent's the only way I know, short of having a friend in the Mac Store...

I've heard you can do it through a virtual machine, right? So I would set up a mac os virtual machine and then download the os from the app store?

Quite a while back, check the community standards.

@DrMacintosh maybe you can help here?

Talking about illegally torrenting an OS is allowed now?

Talking about the torrenting/illegal part might not be allowed, but everything else about Macintosh can be discussed AFAIK.

I found a file that can be used to run a high sierra virtual machine. Can I use this to download a full high sierra os file?

[DrMacintosh]

While I do have the necessary files, the Mods prevent me from distributing said files because you do not own a Mac.

You won't be able to use your Nvidia GPU on Mojave since the drivers aren't out yet; either go with High Sierra or use the Intel IGPU for Mojave

Talk about hardware and stuff like that is allowed. Talk about obtaining images without owning Mac isn't. Thats pure piracy as Apple doesn't have those images available freely like Microsoft does.

Don't use TonymacX86's tools, you'll have problems in the long run.

The steps required would be:
- Burn successfully a MacOS Install into an USB (From windows you can buy TransMac if you found a .DMG with clover already configured on it)
- Install a Clover bootloader in the EFI partition of that USB

- Configure Clover and install all the required kext for your PC including eventually ACPI patches

- Install MacOS

- Install Clover and copy ALL the kexts and the patch from the USB EFI to the system EFI partition

Running Mac VM is absolutely awful because there's no GPU driver support at all for any VM software out there.

Dude, Uncle Billy will send you to hell if you dare install pos MAC OS.  imo
