Back in the day (June 2010, to be precise), this tutorial explained how to install (what was then) Mac OS X on a Windows PC without the need for a Mac. This is no longer possible with modern versions of macOS. Apple strictly forbids the use of macOS on any machines other than its own, whether it’s a modified version or not.
- This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I build a bootable usb hackintosh without a Apple or Mac computer? I have this extra pc I want to build it on but every where I checked states that I need to use software that must be installed on a MAC in order to build my hackintosh. So I am confused.
- First off, thanks to Grosul and the crew for making awesome USB installer for Hackintosh on windows with preinstalled clover. This guide can be used to install macOS Sierra on PC on any compatible hardware.
