My first *successful* Hackintosh! Running Big Sur and OpenCore 0.6.4.

Hardware:

  • CPU: Intel Core i7 6700HQ
  • GPU: Intel HD530 (Nvidia GTX 1060 Max-Q not functioning)
  • RAM: 16GB
  • Laptop model: MSI GS63VR-6RF
  • Audio Codec: ALC 898
  • Ethernet Card: (uhhh idk but I broke it oops)
  • Wifi/BT Card: Intel Dual-Band Wireless AC-8260
  • What guide/tool followed: Dortania's OpenCore install guide
  • Touchpad: ELAN

Not working:

  • Continuity features EXCEPT FOR handoff (due to intel wifi card with airportitlwm 1.1 beta kext)
  • HDMI and DP mini (theoretically) ports due to them being attached to unsupported dGPU
  • RGB on laptop keyboard (no drivers duh)

Everything else working fine, using a Thunderbolt Display dock to run my second monitor and I just use a cable when I need sidecar.
