macOS Big Sur 11.4 on Core 2 Duo

macOS Big Sur 11.4 on Core 2 Duo

After a tremendous amount of time I finally install Big Sur on my old core 2 duo system without using a vm I'm happy what I accomplish today as a beginner on hackintoshing !

Note: Don't do this kind of project on your main system always do it on your backup system.

what steps I used to install Big Sur 11.4

I Used 2 HDD For This Installation But This Is My Preferred Procedure cuz sometimes I'm to clumsy I always forgot what I'm doing, You can use one HDD if you want :)

  1. Download High Sierra on Windows
  2. And Flash It Using BalenaEtcher
  3. Boot and Install High Sierra
  4. Install The Required Kext For High Sierra
  5. And Use USBMap to map your USB This is important unless you will have a no functioning USB on Big Sur 11.4 Since 11.3 Broke XCHIPortlimit and USBInjectall.kext
  6. Now This is the fun part!
  7. Follow Dortania's OC Guide "Note you will need to use Open Core Legacy Patcher for the Legacy Video Patch"
  8. Install your kext to EFI/OC/Kext
  9. After That Boot Your USB
  10. Then Select Install macOS Big Sur
