Как скачать mac os big sur на windows - Доктор Windows

Скажу сразу, что вы все делаете на свой страх и риск, поэтому если не уверены в своих силах, то лучше для начала установите систему на виртуальную машину. Об этом мы тоже поговорим. Также будем работать не с последней версией macOS Big Sur (к слову, она уже доступна для установки), а с Beta-версией, которая стабильно запускается на загрузчике OpenCore. Судя по данным пользователей, на загрузчике Clover появляются проблемы во время установки. Я не гарантирую, что Hackintosh на базе macOS Big Sur запустится на вашем компьютере — все зависит от железа, а если вы устанавливаете на ноутбук, то и от его модели.

Загрузчики macOS — специальные программы, позволяющие запустить операционную систему macOS на устройстве не от Apple. По сути, это порт macOS на другое железо. Самые популярные — OpenCore и Clover. Их функционал практически идентичен, за исключением пары моментов. Также на одном устройстве может работать OpenCore, а на другом Clover — когда речь идет за Hackintosh, то все индивидуально, как вам удобно. Но о фишках того или иного загрузчика я рассказывать не буду — сегодня мы поговорим об установке через OpenCore.

Как установить macOS Big Sur на VMWare?

Но перед тем, как устанавливать macOS Big Sur на физический жесткий диск вашего компьютера, разберем, как установить систему на виртуальную машину VMWare. Этот метод хорош тем, что дает возможность попробовать операционную систему Mac без форматирования жесткого диска с Windows.

Установите VMWare — скачать ее можно с официального сайта.
Далее нужно разблокировать функцию установки macOS 11. Для этого необходимо дополнительно загрузить unlocker по ссылке, открыть его от имени администратора (файл win-install.cmd), дождаться загрузки дополнительных файлов и снова запустить VMWare.
Нажимаем на Создать новую виртуальную машину.
Следуем инструкции на экране.
В списке операционных систем появилась Apple MacOS X — выбираем macOS 11.0 или 11.1.
Продолжаем настраивать виртуальную машину. Выделяем не менее 36 ГБ виртуального жесткого диска, минимум 2 или рекомендовано 4 гигабайта оперативной памяти, 2 ядра процессора, а в строке CD/DVD нужно выбрать скачанный образ macOS Big Sur.
Откройте папку с виртуальной машиной и найдите 2-килобайтный файл xxxxxxxx.vmx (где х — это название виртуальной машины).
Откройте файл с помощью Блокнота и в конце вставьте строчку smc.version = «0» и сохраните изменения.
Запустите виртуальную машину.
Должно появиться яблоко, после чего откроется меню установки macOS Big Sur.
Необходимо отформатировать виртуальный диск и установить систему в соответствии с инструкцией.

После установки и первой настройки macOS Big Sur можно заметить, что разрешение очень низкое, его поменять нельзя, а сам интерфейс тормозит. Чтобы это исправить необходимо:

Скачать ISO-образ VMWare Tools.
Зайти в дополнительные параметры виртуальной машины — CD/DVD.
Вместо образа системы нужно поставить недавно скачанный ISO-файл VMWare Tools.
Включите виртуальную машину и откройте файл VMWare Tools на рабочем столе macOS Big Sur.
Нажмите Install VMWare Tools.
Следуйте подсказкам установщика на экране.
После завершения установки будет предложено перезагрузить виртуальную машину — соглашаемся, нажав на Перезагрузить сейчас.

После включения видеопамяти будет выделяться больше и разрешение дисплея виртуальной машины будет соответствовать вашему монитору или экрану ноутбука.

Как установить macOS Big Sur на PC с помощью загрузчика OpenCore?

Создаем загрузочную флэшку macOS Big Sur с загрузчиком OpenCore.

Скачиваем образ macOS Big Sur Beta 2 вместе с загрузчиком OpenCore или (на свой страх и риск) macOS 11.1 Final.
Также загружаем с Интернета утилиту R-Drive Image, которая понадобится для создания загрузочной флэшки.
Берем USB-накопитель объемом не менее 16 ГБ и подключаем к компьютеру.
Открываем программу Выполнить, нажав комбинацию клавиш Ctrl+R, и вводим diskpart.
Вводим команду list disk и нажимаем клавишу Enter.
Появится список подключенных к компьютеру дисков — запоминаем название флэшки (ее можно определить по объему), в нашем случае это disk 1.
Вводим sel disk 1.
Вводим слово clean, после чего накопитель будет очищен.
Открываем программу R-Drive Image.
Нажимаем Далее — Восстановить из образа.
Выберите скачанный образ macOS Big Sur с разрешением .rdr и нажмите Далее.
Нужно выбрать загрузочный раздел и USB-накопитель — выбираем флэшку в качестве источника и приемника (смотрите по объему).
Несколько раз нажмите Далее, после чего Начать.

Настройка BIOS

Теперь, когда мы создали нашу загрузочную флэшку, необходимо зайти в BIOS компьютера. У разных марок компьютеров кнопка входа в биос разная, но зачастую это Del или F12. Теперь BIOS нужно настроить. Найдите и отключите следующие параметры:

Виртуализацию Intel VT-d и VT-x.
Fast Boot.
Secure Boot.
Network Boot.
Установите параметр Boot Mode — UEFI.
Параметр SATA Mode — AHCI.
Укажите в разделе DVMT Memory 128 или 64 МБ.
Установите загрузочный носитель — в нашем случае это флэшка.
Сохраните изменения и перезагрузитесь.

Установка macOS Big Sur на ПК

Начинается самое интересное — вход в загрузчик OpenCore. Ваш компьютер должен загрузиться с USB-накопителя, после чего появится две кнопки: Install macOS Beta и Reset NVRAM. Нажимаем первую. Бывает, что загрузка дальше огромного полотна различных команд на черном экране не проходит. В таком случае, перезагрузите ПК и нажмите кнопку Reset NVRAM, после чего снова нажмите Установить macOS Beta. На ноутбуках бывает проблема, что после нескольких команд экран становится черным, а сам загрузчик зависает. Решение простое — подключите к ноутбуку внешний монитор или телевизор по HDMI-кабелю, а после установки выберите нужный дисплей для отображения картинки. К слову, если что-то не получается, вы можете перейти по ссылке и найти проблему — здесь собрана целая электронная книга по OpenCore. Продолжаем устанавливать macOS Big Sur на ПК.

Когда загрузчик прошел, на экране появится яблоко, а после чего привычное окно приветствия с выбором языка.
Далее нужно зайти в Дисковую утилиту.
Нажмите Вид — Показать все устройства.
Выберите жесткий диск и нажмите Стереть.
Сначала дайте ему имя, например, Macintosh.
Далее выберите тип форматирования — APFS.
Если форматирование прошло, закройте дисковую утилиту и нажмите Установить macOS.
Следуйте инструкциям на экране.
После выбранного диска начните установку. Произойдет копирование файлов, после чего ПК перезагрузится.
После перезагрузки нужно нажать кнопку macOS Installer.
Установка продолжится еще на некоторое время.
Снова компьютер перезагрузится, и снова нужно выбрать macOS Installer.
Далее macOS Big Sur запустится и необходимо будет произвести первую настройку.

Настройка конфигуратора OpenCore

Я рассказал как установить бета-версию, но система сможет обновиться и до финальной сборки. Вы можете в любой момент настроить значения загрузчика, в том числе, изменить название компьютера или произвести некоторые изменения в конфигураторе загрузчика. Чтобы это сделать нужно зайти в папку postinstall, которую необходимо перенести с корневого раздела флэшки на рабочий стол. Теперь обязательно нужно произвести некоторые манипуляции с конфигуратором загрузчика, чтобы запускать macOS Big Sur без USB-накопителя.

Найдите в папке postinstall файл OpenCore Configurator.
Необходимо вмонтировать в ОС загрузочные разделы флэшки и жесткого диска с системой.
Вверху в панели меню находим соответствующий значок конфигуратора, нажимаем и в контекстном меню возле каждого диска нужно кликнуть по mount partition.
После монтирования жесткого диска на рабочем столе появится накопитель EFI с одноименной папкой, которую нужно перенести в загрузочную область HDD.
Теперь можно запускать систему без использования USB-накопителя.

Часто после установки не работает сеть и звук в системе. Чтобы это исправить необходимо:

Снова монтируем раздел EFI в панели меню.
Находим специальные файлы .kext для вашей сетевой и звуковой карты в папке postinstall. Если не подойдет, тогда нужно найти в Интернете специально под ваше оборудование. Иными словами, это как драйвера в Windows.
Переходим по пути EFI/OC/Kexts и туда скидываем файлы kext.
Теперь запускаем в папке postinstall файл config с помощью системного редактора или проводим все действия сразу в OpenCore Configurator.
Во вкладке NVRAM, открываем третью строчку и в параметр bootargs дописываем значение alcid = x (где х — это значение именно вашей модели звуковой карты, все значения конфигураторов под разное железо можно найти на GitHub или другом ресурсе, связанном с Hackintosh).
Заходим в раздел Kernel и перетаскиваем файл kext сетевой карты из папки EFI/OC/Kexts.
Сохраните изменения, закройте конфигуратор, выгрузите EFI-разделы в панели меню из системы и перезагрузите ОС.

Итог

Как видим, установить macOS Big Sur на обычный ПК может показаться сложной задачей, но если к ней отнестись ответственно, то она будет успешно выполнена. Дам совет: найдите все kext-файлы и значения параметров на GitHub заранее, чтобы потом не возникало никаких проблем. Также предлагаю вашему вниманию инструкцию по установке macOS Big Sur на ПК, где все понятно рассказано.

На этом инструкция, как установить macOS Big Sur на ПК закончена.

Steps to Install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox on Windows

Install VirtualBox on Windows PC
Install/Update VirtualBox Extension
Create a New Virtual Machine & Customize it
Run VirtualBox Code to the Command Prompt
Start the Virtual Machine
Perform Clean Installation of macOS Big Sur
Summary

Important Note:

Before we get started, make sure your system can support Virtualization Technology (VT), and it is enabled from BIOS so that you should be able to run Virtualization software like Virtualbox or VMware. Also, you should have a 64-bit Windows operating system with at least 2 GB Ram and 20 GB of free storage, however, we recommend you at least 4 GB of RAM or higher so you can store more files and install more apps on macOS Big Sur.

Furthermore, if you have an SSD, it’s highly recommended to use it as storage because SSD is much faster then mechanical hard drive (HDD ) and macOS run on SSD very smooth. Anyway, it is not 100% compulsory but if you have, don’t hesitate to use it.

Required Files

Download Virtualbox
Download Virtualbox Code
macOS Big Sur Beta 11.0 (20A4299v) Dev Beta 1
macOS Big Sur Beta 11.0 (20A4300b) Dev Beta 2
macOS Big Sur Beta 11.0 (20A5343j) Dev Beta 4/Public Beta 1
macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 (20B29) Initial public release Latest

Note: You can create macOS Big Sur ISO Image.

Recommendation: It’s highly recommended to create a new drive on your Windows PC and install macOS Big Sur on that drive.

Step 1: Install VirtualBox on Windows PC

From the “Required File” section of this post, you should have downloaded VirtualBox as well and if you didn’t, download VirtualBox’s latest version and install it on your Windows system. If you’ve already installed VirtualBox, then you can skip this step. Other than that, double click on VirtualBox Setup and click Next for a couple of times and you’re done with the installation.

Step 2: Install or Update VirtualBox Extension

This step is not 100% percent necessary but it’s highly recommended to do this step because macOS Big Sur might not be compatible with VirtualBox and for this reason, it will cause a problem during the installation. Download VirtualBox Extension and follow the steps below.

#1. Open up VirtualBox, navigate to Tools>Pereferences>Extensions.3

#2. Click on Plus icon and select VirtualBox extension which you’ve downloaded at the beginning of this section. Click Install or Upgrade and then click OK button.

#3. Finally, you should see something like the screenshot below.

Update Virtualbox Extension

Step 3: Create a New Virtual Machine & Customize it

Creating a virtual machine for macOS Big Sur is the same when you create a virtual machine for the Windows Operating system or Linux. We will use the ISO image of macOS Big Sur to do the installation process.

Note: We’ll make the VMDK as well if we receive lots of requests for that. Otherwise, there is no point because you can install macOS Big Sur with iso image as well.

#1. Open up your VirtualBox application and click New.

#2. Type a name for your Virtual Machine. Click Expert Mode and choose the following options then click Create.

Expert Mode

Name the VM
Virtual Machine Location (a separate drive is recommended)
Type (Mac OS X)
Version (Mac OS X 64-bit)
Memory 4 GB (recommended 8 GB or higher)
Create a virtual hard disk

Your setting should look something like the screenshot below.

Create New Virtual Machine

#3. Select where you want to save your virtual hard disk. Also, make sure to increase the size of the disk. From virtual hard disk, type make sure to select VHD. If you select dynamic allocated, your VM speed will not be good but it’s good that does not allocate the specified storage at once, unlike fixed-size type.

Create Virtual Hard Disk

#3. It’s time to customize some of the settings according to your choice. Click Settings and from the pane choose System. On the Motherboard, tab uncheck Floppy disk and move it down. If you’re not happy with your memory setting still, you can change it.

#4. Click the Processor tab and select a minimum of two processors or higher.

Increase the Processor

#5. Navigate to the Display menu then increase the Video memory to 128 MB.

Increase Video Memory

It’s time to select your macOS Big Sur ISO file. Click Storage and then select on Empty. Click on DVD icon and choose your macOS Big Sur ISO file.

Select ISO Image

Make sure your macOS Big Sur ISO file is on the top, not your Disk because if your disk is on the top, your VM might not boot. Just change the SATA port number to 0 for your iso image. It’s not 100% compulsory.

ISO Image SATA 0

Step 4: Run VirtualBox Code to the Command Prompt

Once you’ve created and customized your virtual machine, it’s time to run some codes in order to install macOS Big Sur on VirtualBox.

First, you should notice your virtual machine name because later on, we will use it. Open the VirtualBox code which you should have downloaded from the Required File section of this post.

#1. When you opened VirtualBox code via notepad or any other text editor, use the replace function of the program to replace the VM Name to your virtual machine name. See the picture below to get an idea of how it’s done.

cd "C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox"
VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "VM Name" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac19,1"
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0"
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Mac-AA95B1DDAB278B95"
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"
VBoxManage setextradata "VM Name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1

Replace VM Name

Tip: It’s highly important that you should quit the VirtualBox program before executing the code. If you don’t do it, your virtual machine might not proceed to the installation step.

Exit VirtualBox

#2. Once you replaced the “VM Name” with your virtual machine name, then run the code one by one to the command prompt (CMD). You can open the command prompt by pressing Windows+X key in Windows 10 or click windows key and type CMD and run command prompt as administrator.

Step 5: Start the Virtual Machine

Starting macOS Big Sur with the older version of the Mac Operating system was a bit different, but with new macOS Big Sur still, it’s easy to set it up.

#1. Open the VirtualBox app then click the Start button. A black screen with a few yellow & white text will appear on the screen.

Start Virtual Machine

#2. Once you started the VM then you’ll see some code running in the background. Just wait until you see the Apple logo.

#3. Select a Language and click Continue arrow.

Select Language

#4. Select Disk Utility and click Continue.

Select Disk Utility

#5. Select your main Virtual Disk and click the Erase button. Make sure to check the size of the disk and you should not erase the wrong disk.

Erase Virtual Disk

#6. Name your Disk that you want to install macOS Big Sur on it. I’ll name here macOS HD. Once typed a name then click the Erase button.

Name the Virtual Disk

#7. Close Disk utility.

Close Disk Utility

#8. Select Install macOS and click Continue.

Install macOS

#9. Click Continue.

macOS Big Sur Beta

#10. Agree to terms and Conditions.

Agree to the Terms & Conditions

#11. Select the installation disk and click Continue. Once you click continue it’ll take around 29 minutes to complete the first part of the installation.

NOTE: If you get the Operation Couldn’t be Completed BiErrorDomain Error 3 then follow this step by step guide below.

Fix the Operation Couldn’t be Completed BiErrorDomain Error 3

This is a very common error with macOS Big Sur beta version 1 that most people have faced. Just use our VirtualBox code and it should work without any error.

Fix the Operation Couldn’t be Completed BiErrorDomain Error 3

Installation Disk

Step 6: Perform Clean Installation of macOS Big Sur

Once you hit enter, a whole bunch of code will run on the screen, but you should not worry about it. Wait for a few minutes, and you should see the macOS Big Sur installation window. Have a cup of coffee until the installation complete because it’s going to take around 29 minutes to finish.
Once the installation part complete, your system will reboot, and after the restart, you should see macOS Big Sur Welcome page.
Select the following options. You can change most of the settings later on, so don’t worry about that for now.
1. Select your Country and click Continue.
2. Choose a Keyboard Layout and click Continue. If you don’t agree with preset options then you customize it. Just click Customize Settings.
3. You can turn on the Accessibility features now with macOS Big Sur. You’ve several options with accessibility like vision, motor, hearing, and cognitive. If you don’t want to set up right now just click Not Now button to skip them.
4. Read Data & Privacy and click Continue.
5. Now, you can transfer your data from your previous Mac or from your Windows PC. If you don’t want to transfer anything right now, just click the Not Now button to continue.
6. Click on Set Up Later then Don’t Sign In. You can add your Apple ID later.
7. Click Agree to the Terms and Conditions and click Continue.
8. Fill out the Full name, Account name, Password, and Hint then click Continue.

A Hackintosh is a non-Mac computer system, made with PC parts, that runs the macOS operating system. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a Hackintosh.

You will learn how to install macOS Big Sur (or any other version of macOS) using OpenCore.

The main benefit of a Hackintosh compared to an official Macintosh computer, is that it is WAY cheaper. I created a Hackintosh computer that matches the Mac Pro specs for about 1/3rd the price of a Mac Pro. Some people have been able to create a Hackintosh for under $100.

This tutorial will focus mainly on how to install macOS on your hardware. I also created a video version that shows how to build a complete machine and then install macOS on it.

The video shows how to use a computer with macOS to create a macOS installer for your Hackintosh. In this written tutorial, you will learn how to create the macOS installer using macOS or Windows.

You can watch the video here:

It is not illegal to create a Hackintosh for personal use but it does go against Apple’s End User License Agreement. So don’t plan on taking this into an Apple store for repair. And in many places it is illegal to sell a Hackintosh.

The Hardware

Many computer parts work for Hackintoshes. But some do not. Check this website to see what hardware is compatible with a Hackintosh.

In the video above I demonstrate step-by-step how to build a computer that will work as a Hackintosh. In the video description is a list of the specific parts I used.

If you want to be safe, you can use exact parts I used in my build but it is possible to install macOS on a wide variety of hardware.

Downloading MacOS and Creating a Bootable USB Installer

For this step, you will need a USB drive that is at least 16GB. The process is different depending on if you are setting up the bootable USB installer using macOS or Windows. The process is much simpler to do on macOS, but it still possible on Windows.

If you can, find a Mac machine to use to create the bootable USB installer. But I’ll cover the steps for macOS and Windows.

Using MacOS to Create the MacOS Installer

There are a few programs you’ll need during this process so start by downloading them. Here are links for what you will need followed by the download instructions.

ProperTree — Click the «Code» button, then «Download Zip»
MountEFI — Click the «Code» button, then «Download Zip»
OC_GEN-X — Download the zip file for the most recent release.

Open up the App store on macOS. Search for «Big Sur». Click «Get», and then «Download».

Format your USB drive using Disk Utility. To get into Disk Utility, just click the magnifying glass and type «Disk Utility.

Once Disk Utility is open, make sure that the view is set to show all devices.

Click the USB drive, then click «Erase» in the top menu.

Name the drive «MyVolume». Make sure the format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that the scheme is GUID Partition Map. Then click the «Erase» button.

After the USB drive is prepared, open the Terminal in MacOS. You will use a command in the terminal to make the USB drive into a bootable installer for macOS.

If you are installing macOS Big Sur, type the following command:

sudo /Applications/Install macOS Big Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume

If you are installing a different version of macOS, you can find the command for the version you are installing here.

You’ll have to wait a bit for this to install. After this is done, open the OC_Gen-X program you downloaded earlier.

To open the program, you will have to right-click the icon, select «open», then select «open» again.

This is a software wizard that helps us easily prepare what we need to install MacOS on our particular hardware setup. It will go out and get everything we need except the SSDTs and put them in a folder for you.

You can also do this is a more manual method by following the OpenCore Install Guide. But this program simplifies things for us quite a bit and it is not available for Windows.

On this first screen under «System Type» choose the type of processor you have. Look in your processor’s documentation to determine the name of the microarchitecture it uses. Getting this right is very important.

The type of processor I used is «Coffee Lake».

For most of the tabs in this program you can keep the default settings.

Under «Graphics» select «WhateverGreen» and under «Audio» select «AppleALC». Under «Ethernet» select «IntelMausi». These are very commonly used options but there is a small chance your settings will be different depending on your hardware and specific use case.

The SMBIOS is important and you will have to specify the correct System Model on that tab. For my setup I used «iMac19,1» but it could be different for you if you are using a different processor of a different operating system version.

To figure out what System Model to use, go to the Open Core Install Guide.

Select the section on the left side for your processor type (in my case it is «Coffee Lake»). Then find the heading «PlatformInfo». Scroll down a bit and you will see a table with the SMBIOS to use.

After selecting the appropriate System Model, click the «Generate EFI» button at the bottom.

An EFI folder has now been created on your desktop. We will now make some modifications to the contents.

You’ll need to get the SSDT files. This is different depending on your processor.

You can find the list of the exact SSDT’s you need at this link. Just select your processor type and download each of the required SSDTs.

Here are the links for the SSDTs needed for my Coffee Lake system.

SSDT-PLUG-DRTNIA
SSDT-EC-USBX-DESKTOP
SSDT-AWAC
SSDT-PMC

Once all of those files are downloaded, move them into your EFI folder. They should be moved to this subfolder: EFI/ACPI/OC

Now you will will use the MountEFI program downloaded earlier to mount the hidden EFI partition on the USB drive.

Right-click on MountEFI.command and click «open», then «open» again.

Select your USB drive. It should have a name like «Install macOS Big Sur» since we made it into a bootable installer for MacOS. In the screenshot below, it is option 2.

You now have a mounted EFI partition and an EFI folder from OC Gen-X. Drag the EFI folder into the EFI partition.

Open ProperTree.command which you downloaded earlier. Like before you can open it by right-clicking and selecting «open».

Once ProperTree is running, go to «File -> Open». Select the EFI partition, then the «OC» folder, then open the «config.plist» file.

The first thing we need to do is to inject all of the files in the EFI folder into the «config.plist» file.

So go to «File», then select «OC Snapshot». Make sure you’re on the EFI partition. Go to the «EFI» folder, then the «OC» folder. And click the «Choose» button.

A dialog box could pop up here about what version to use. If this happens, click «Yes».

Now go back to «File», then select «OC Clean Snapshot» and select «Choose».

The OC Gen-X program helped simplify all the required setup. At this point you should verify that everything is setup correctly according the the official install guide.

Here is the guide for Coffee Lake. If you are using a different type of processor, just select your type in the left menu.

You can verify the quirks are set correctly in the config.plist file. They should all be correct.

You need to do additional setup in the config.plist file to make sure the onboard graphics work. Find the «DeviceProperties» section, and then copy the following characters to add.

PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)

Note that this if you processor is not Coffee Lake, the exact thing you need to add under «DeviceProperties» could be different. Search for «Device Properties» in the OpenCore guide for your processor type to confirm what to add under «DeviceProperties» in the config.plist file.

Under «DeviceProperties», click on «Add». Then right click and choose «New child under ‘Add’ (+)».

Double-click where it says «New String» and just paste the text into the field and hit enter. Then select in the next column where it says «String» and make sure that it is set to «Dictionary».

Next, we need to add more children under it and it should eventually look like this:

Below is the text from the image above that you need to add (if you system is Cofee Lake).

Name	Type	Value
AAPL,ig-platform-id	Data	07009B3E
framebuffer-patch-enable	Data	01000000
framebuffer-stolenmem	Data	00003001

Now in the config.plist file, find the NVRAM section.

Update the «boot-args» so the text is «-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=1».

Now we’ll change the language to English. So next to where it says «prev-lang:kbd», change «data» to «String» and set the value to «en-US:0» and hit enter.

If you want a different language just go to this link to find what language code to use.

The config.plist file is now done. So go to «file», then «save». You are now completely done setting up the bootable drive. So just eject the drive, and then you can plug it in to your Hackintosh.

Skip the next Windows section and go to the heading «BIOS Setup».

Using Windows to create the macOS Installer

The first step to creating a macOS installer on Windows is to download OpenCore. Make sure to download the zip file for the most recent release.

Unzip OpenCore and then go to /Utilities/macrecovery/. Next copy the folder path for the macrecovery folder:

Source: OpenCore Docs

Open a Command Prompt and change directories into the macrecovery folder that you just copied using the command cd [PASTE_FOLDER_NAME].

It should look something like this:

Source: OpenCore Docs

Now in the Command Prompt, run one of the following commands depending on what version of macOS you want. If you don’t already have Python, you will have to install it first.

This will take some time, however once you’re finished you should get either BaseSystem or RecoveryImage files:

Now open up Disk Management and format the USB drive as FAT32. Follow these steps from the OpenCore Docs:

Right click the Start Button on your task bar and select Disk Management.
You should see all of your partitions and disks. On the bottom half, you’ll see your devices. Find your USB.
You’ll want to format the USB to have a FAT32 partition.
If you have multiple partitions on the USB, right click each partition and click Delete Volume for your USB.
Right click the unallocated space and create a new simple volume. Make sure it is FAT32 and at least a gigabyte or two big. Name it «EFI».
Otherwise, right click the partition on the USB and click Format and set it to FAT32.

Next, go to the root of this USB drive and create a folder called com.apple.recovery.boot. Then move the downloaded BaseSystem or RecoveryImage files. Please ensure you copy over both the .dmg and .chunklist files to this folder:

Now grab OpenCorePkg you downloaded earlier and open it:

Here we see both IA32(32 Bit CPUs) and X64(64 Bit CPUs) folders, choose the one that’s most appropriate to your hardware and open it. Next grab the EFI folder inside and place this on the root of the USB drive along side com.apple.recovery.boot. Once done it should look like this:

At this point you will have to continue setting up your EFI folder. Because of the complexity of this step and all the different possible options depending on your setup, you should follow along with the official documentation for the next few steps.

Here are the links to the instructions for the next steps when using Windows to create the bootable USB installer. Note that the screenshots in the documentation show a mac but the steps apply to Windows as well. For setup using a mac, you don’t have to go through these steps because there is a wizard that does all of them automatically.

Adding The Base OpenCore Files

Getting started with ACPI

BIOS Setup

I’ll show you how I setup my BIOS for my Hackintosh. The BIOS software is specific to my motherboard and yours may look a little different. If yours looks different, do you best to find equivalent setting in you software, if yours looks different. Note that BIOS setting are easy to experiment with and you don’t have to have all the same settings as me to get everything working.

Boot the computer up and then hit the «Delete» key to get into the BIOS.

Most setting can be left as the default. Here are the settings that should be updated:

Under Advanced, «Above 4G Decoding» should be Enabled.

Under Advanced, and then under Serial Port Configuration, turn «Serial Port» to Off.

Under Advanced, and then under USB Configuration, set «XHCI Hand-off» to Enabled.

Under Boot, and then under Boot Configuration, set «Fast Boot» to Disabled

Under Boot, and then under Secure Boot, set «OS Type» to Windows UEFI mode.

The final thing you need to do is to go under Boot > Secure Boot > Key Management. Then select «Clear Secure Boot Keys».

Now go to Exit and select «Save Changes & Reset».

MacOS Setup

After the computer restarts, hit F12 to get into the boot menu. Choose «Install MacOS Big Sur (External).

The next few screenshots are a little blurry since I was videotaping my monitor and did not focus correctly. Sorry about that.

After it loads, the macOS Utilities screen should appear. Select «Disk Utility».

Click the dropdown menu toward the top and click «Show All Devices». Then select your hard drive and click «Erase» at the top.

You can name the drive anything you like. For Format, make sure to choose «Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and for Scheme choose «GUID Partition Map»

After the drive is erased, close Disk Utility and select «Install MacOS Big Sur». You will have to choose the hard drive you just formatted. And then you will have to wait as macOS is installed.

The computer should restart back into the boot menu. Select «MacOS Installer».

At this point you will set up the computer just like you would a brand new Mac computer. After the setup, macOS Big Sur will load.

There is one more thing left to do. You have to copy the EFI folder from the hidden EFI partition on the USB stick to the EFI partition on the hard drive you installed macOS on.

On the new Hackintosh, go to the web browser and download MountEFI. This is the same program you used before, if you created the installer on a mac. After clicking the link, click the «Code» button, then «Download ZIP».

Go to the downloads folder and and right click on MountEFI.command and open it.

Use the program to mount the EFI partitions from both the hard drive on your Hackintosh and the USB drive called «Install MacOS Big Sur». First select one, then the other.

After both partitions are mounted, you will need to copy the EFI folder from the USB EFI partition over to the hard drive EFI partition.

At this point you can restart the computer and take out the USB drive. The Hackintosh is complete!

A Hackintosh is a non-Mac computer system, made with PC parts, that runs the macOS operating system. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a Hackintosh.

You will learn how to install macOS Big Sur (or any other version of macOS) using OpenCore.

This tutorial will focus mainly on how to install macOS on your hardware. I also created a video version that shows how to build a complete machine and then install macOS on it.

The video shows how to use a computer with macOS to create a macOS installer for your Hackintosh. In this written tutorial, you will learn how to create the macOS installer using macOS or Windows.

You can watch the video here:

The Hardware

Many computer parts work for Hackintoshes. But some do not. Check this website to see what hardware is compatible with a Hackintosh.

In the video above I demonstrate step-by-step how to build a computer that will work as a Hackintosh. In the video description is a list of the specific parts I used.

If you want to be safe, you can use exact parts I used in my build but it is possible to install macOS on a wide variety of hardware.

Downloading MacOS and Creating a Bootable USB Installer

If you can, find a Mac machine to use to create the bootable USB installer. But I’ll cover the steps for macOS and Windows.

Using MacOS to Create the MacOS Installer

There are a few programs you’ll need during this process so start by downloading them. Here are links for what you will need followed by the download instructions.
