How to install Mac OS on a laptop: Instruction

The operating system from Apple is deservedly considered exemplary. And indeed it is. The combination of an ideal appearance and amazing performance has always made "Mac OS" much better than Bill Gates's offspring. And this is not discrimination, but a statement of fact. Operating systems from Microsoft have always lagged behind the Macs in terms of design and performance. One day Apple decided to switch to Intel processors. From now on, it's possible to install "Mac" on an ordinary PC. However, not all so simple. Installing "Mac" on a PC or laptop can lead to a severe nervous breakdown, because not all the hardware is supported by "Mac". And to get him under it is very problematic. But we will still try. So, before you the instruction on "Installing Mac OS on a laptop".

What are the risks when installing on a PC

There are a lot of risks, because this operating system is not intended for our wooden computers.

  • First, some "vital" components of the PC may not work. It turns out that they can be launched or not.
  • Secondly, the installation of "Mac OS" on a PC or laptop is accompanied by an increased expenditure of nerve cells, which can lead to equipment breakdown (the first time you will not have anything installed).
  • Thirdly, to establish "Mac" on a computer different from the original "Mac", is a punishable offense. But if it does not frighten you, then please.

And installing Mac OS on a laptop is always fraught with risks - laptops are for the most part problematic devices for Mac. If the PC can somehow change the configuration to a compatible one, then with laptops such a focus will not work. A full-fledged launch of the "Mac" on laptops is possible only with the help of numerous "crutches". And the more "crutches", the more unstable the system will behave. So, do you still want to try installing "Mac" on a laptop or PC? Then we will continue.

What you need to install

To begin with, you need a computer with a compatible processor. Without this, nothing will come of it. Currently, Intel processors from the Core and Atom families are supported. The processor must necessarily support Ivy Bridge and a set of SSE instructions. If you do not have such a processor, it's better to immediately abandon this idea. Now about the owners of processors from AMD. Theoretically, you can get "Mac" to work on these processors, but stability is not guaranteed. Moreover, the probability of frequent departures and reloads is very high, since AMD is not intended for the "Mac".

If your laptop has a suitable configuration, you can start preparing the USB-media to install the operating system. It is recommended to have a flash drive with a capacity of 16 gigabytes or more (in most cases, an image of the installed system will be deployed to the flash drive, and it weighs about 10 gigabytes). And the last thing you need to stock up is free time and patience: installing Mac OS on a laptop with a USB flash drive (if you do this for the first time) will take 4-6 hours and will spend your nerves. The installation itself will pass quickly, but not everything is obtained from the first time. And the setup of the system requires a lot of time. So, let's go.

Preparing the flash drive and the distribution image

Since we will put the original "Mac" with small crutches, you will first have to download the system image from the App Store. At the moment, the most sane version is Mac OS X Yosemite. We will establish it. As practice shows, the best way to create bootable media is to create it from under the "Mac OS" installed. But not all have it at hand. So, it is required to put it on a virtual machine (at least) and already under it to make a bootable medium. Suppose that the "Mac OS" is installed on the machine. What is the next step?

The next step is to download special programs (crutches) that will help cheat the system and make it believe that it is being installed on an Apple computer. These programs are called UniBeast and MultiBeast. Next, we format the USB flash drive in the format Mac OS X Extended (magazine). Then run UniBeast and click the Continue and Agree button, until we get to the OS version. Here we choose our distribution and include support for laptops (Laptop Support). After that, click Continue and Install. The image will be recorded within half an hour. Now go to the next step in the " How to install Mac OS on a regular laptop" instruction.

Before installation

There are several useful pieces that you should know better before starting the installation. First of all, we'll have to poke a little with the BIOS (if you do not disable some of its options, then the installation will fail). So, go to the BIOS and disable AHCI support completely. Then turn off the discrete graphics card (for those who have Optimus), because it will not start, no matter how you dance. Well, we put the boot from the USB-drive in the first place. With BIOS like everything. Some may ask how to install the Mac OS on an ASUS laptop, if the BIOS can not be turned off in BIOS. The answer: just do not disconnect. It does not start.

It will also be useful to check memory and disk for errors before installing. "Mac" is a very capricious system. The slightest mistake can lead to sad consequences. Do you want it? If there are no errors, then you can proceed to the installation process, pre-stuck the USB flash drive into the connector on the laptop. Yes, we do not forget before resetting the AHCI and the video card to reset BIOS settings to standard ones. Believe me, it will be better.

Installation

First, the Chameleon shell is loaded. It offers to choose a way of loading: from a flash card or from a hard disk. Choose the way to boot from the flash drive, but with the display of the installation log. So it will be easier to understand what kind of error arose (if it occurs) than in graphical mode. After loading the required files, the Mac OS installer is loaded. Now you need to format the partition. Choose "Disk Utility", the desired partition and format it in "Mac OS X Magazine". Click "Next" and the installation process begins.

If nothing has flown out, then after creating the account you will be thrown immediately to the desktop of the installed system. If the installation is stopped for some reason, it is important to find out what the reason is. In most cases, the installation is locked due to the video card. Then you need to reboot the laptop and when selecting the boot from the flash drive, register the key GraphicsEnabler-Yes. After that, everything should go its own way. Many are interested in how to install the Mac OS on an Acer laptop with hybrid graphics. The answer is the same. By disconnecting the discrete video adapter.

After installation

If the installation went without a hitch without a hitch, then it's time to start setting up the installed system. This is absolutely necessary. If this is not done, then after rebooting the system simply will not start because of the lack of necessary kekstov. To configure the "Mac" you need to start the previously downloaded utility MultiBeast. It is she who will help us in customization. How to install Mac OS on a Lenovo laptop and then configure it? Similar. Although with "Lenovo" there are some features that will be useful to learn. Some models are supplied with such Wi-Fi transmitters, which do not run under "Mac" in general (BCM 4313). This will only help to replace the adapter.

If at us not "Lenovo", we continue adjustment. In MultiBeast you need to select the drivers required for our laptop. In addition, you need to choose the DSDT-sheet of the laptop from Apple, which is most suitable for our specifications. Then you just need to click on the Build button, then Install. After the required files are installed in the system, you must restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

What categorically you do not need to do while using "Mac" on the laptop

First, do not try to update the operating system using the Apple store. Since each new version requires its own cakes, your computer will not turn on after the update. Secondly, if everything is working fine, do not try to experiment with kekstami. Due to lack of experience, you hang the system very quickly. I'll have to refer to the instructions "How to install Mac OS on an HP laptop" (or what's behind your laptop). Third, never use the NTFS system for the second hard disk partition. It is not supported in Macs. And the programs that implement such support on the "Hackintosh" are unstable. So do not take chances.

One of the things that you do not need to do is also the process of cleaning up the "Mac OS" from unnecessary debris using special programs. Remember, "Mac" is not "Windows". It does not have a registry! And there is nothing to litter there. And programs like CleanMyMac can seriously damage the system. Further, do not expect that powerful software packages like ProLogic will start up. As a rule, they have serious problems with launching on "non-native Poppies". You can just kill the operating system. Well, do not install programs from unknown sources. Viruses under the "Macs", of course, a little, but they are very tough and can kill your system for one or two.

What to read for familiarization with the principles of installation and configuration

To understand how to install the Mac OS on a laptop, some study of the "materiel" is required, because, as practice shows, it is impossible to establish a system with "half a pint" from anyone. Certain mistakes happen. And it's good, if not serious. In order not to fall asleep on the first funny mistake, you need to read the information on the forums "hakintoshnikov." These comrades have already eaten the dog on the "Mac" on the PC. If that, they can even help with some problems. Although not really want to understand this.

There are also a lot of resources on which it is thoroughly chewed, how to install Mac OS on a laptop. Also, there are described ways to solve the most common mistakes. Find these resources is very simple. Some craftsmen can even customize DSDT and kekstov for you. Of course, for a fee. But it's better to understand the installation and configuration process yourself. Especially since it is not so difficult.

Which distributions should not be used

Do not try to use distributions already prepared for installation on a PC. As a rule, they are very crooked, because they tried to make a universal system out of an individual system. But this does not happen. It's better to learn how to install Mac OS on a laptop, and create a distribution kit for your machine from scratch. Stability will be much higher.

What to do if it did not work out

If you have thoroughly studied all the information on how to install Mac OS on a laptop, learned all the errors and you know how to fix it all, and you still can not install it, it means that your laptop is absolutely not suitable for "Mac". Change back to "Windows", with "Mac" you will not do anything.

Conclusion

This manual is not a reference. It describes an approximate algorithm for installing the "Mac" on laptops. The exact steps depend on the model of your laptop and its configuration. So you still have to read the additional information. Dare, the future "makovodov" - and all you will succeed. Do not forget to strictly follow the instructions "How to install Mac OS on a laptop".
