Mac OS X is the world's second most popular operating system after Windows. Produced by Apple. Most are accustomed to installing Windows and are afraid that the transition to a new operating system will partially or completely fail due to the fact that the installation is difficult and incomprehensible. However, this is not a reason to give up using a Mac.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to check the hardware for compatibility with the Mac. The processor should at least support SSE2, and better, of course, SSE3. This is checked by any diagnostic utility, CPU-Z, for example. The video card must be able to perform hardware overclocking (modern hardware can do this since the days of GeForce 4). The minimum size of RAM for the functioning of Mac OS is 256 MB. For some versions of the system, it is slightly larger. HDD must be connected via SATA socket and support AHCI mode.
Step 2
Mac OS does not support BIOS and only works with EFI. Therefore, it is required to write the EFI emulator to an external media or a free partition of the hard drive in order to avoid the appearance of the Kernel panic screen. You will also need to bypass the Mac PC protection called System Management Controller. The SMC is installed on the Mac board as an anti-tampering device. It is not available on regular PCs. It is checked by one of the system drivers (Kernel extensions), called kext. The pest's name is Don’t Steal Mac OS X.kext. It can be removed from the installer, but it would be better to install an SMC emulator.
Step 3
Now Mac OS needs to be downloaded and burned to disk. In order not to fiddle with kexts, it is better to use an assembly. From under the running Mac OS, based on a clean boot loader image and the kexts you need, you can create your own assembly that will work better. But this requires a working Mac OS X.
Step 4
If the hardware according to the test results for Mac OS is suitable, it is time to prepare the hard drive. If one hard disk will be used for Windows and Mac, it must be divided into partitions. This is done either by system tools, or by programs like Acronis and Partition Wizard. The original Mac image is installed on GUID markup only. For assemblies, MBR is also suitable. It is better to convert the Mac partition to FAT 32 and make it active.
Step 5
When using a generic build, after the bootloader screen appears, go to Customize and select the desired hardware configuration with checkmarks. When using the original system, simply follow the instructions of the installer.
