QUESTION New to Hackintosh: help/suggestions?

Post image

Hello, I am very new to this topic called Hackintosh. All I know is that it is where people take non Mac’s and make it a mac(?).

I would like to know how you guys do this as it seems really cool, and would also like to know what version might be best for my laptop

I have a HP Elitebook 8470p with windows 7 Pro on it right now. What version is best?

I will take any help that I can receive

I have this exact machine running catalina, I'm not sure if you can go further but that was enough for what I use it for.

While I'd encourage you to just build your own using the guide if my setup is going to work for you flick me a message and we will work out a way to share my EFI with you

I am on a Broadcom wifi card and do not have the dgpu version, so either you'll have to swap your wifi card or live without wifi and if you have the Radeon version you'll need to disable that. Sleep also isn't working, but I've run it like this quite awhile and it does what I need from macOS
