Install macOS Monterey on Supported PCs - A guide to preparing a USB installer for macOS Monterey using the OpenCore or Clover Bootloaders courtesy of tonymacx86.
Install macOS Monterey on PCs Guide - This quick tutorial from the long term Microsoft-focused site Redmond Pie covers how to install macOS Monterey on a PC using BalenaEtcher and other tools.
macOS Monterey Reader Reports - macOS Monterey installation experiences on a variety of Hackintosh systems from Reddit users.
Note that official hardware support for macOS Monterey (macOS 12) is more limited than its predecessor, macOS Big Sur (macOS 11) and many of the major features do not work on systems with Intel processors, but only on proper Macs with Apple Silicon processors. Be sure to confirm hardware compatibility before upgrading an older Hackintosh to this version of the macOS or buying hardware for a new one.
Lets try this :)

ReplyDeleteHello, I have this laptop, any of you would have the EFI for Monterey or Ventura, if it can be installed
I currently have catalina running very well but it stays a bit old hahaha lenovo ideapad 300-15isk i7-6500u skylake architecture
Hello fellow! Upgrading to macOS Monterey or macOS Ventura on your Lenovo IdeaPad 300-15ISK with an i7-6500U Skylake architecture is possible. However, I can't provide you with specific EFI files as they are typically specific to each individual system configuration.
DeleteTo install either macOS Monterey or macOS Ventura on your laptop, you'll need to create a compatible EFI configuration for your hardware. Here are the general steps you can follow:
1. Research compatible EFI configurations: Look for existing EFI configurations for Skylake-based laptops similar to yours. Websites and forums dedicated to Hackintosh communities, such as tonymacx86 and InsanelyMac, can be good resources to find EFI configurations for your specific hardware.
2. Download the necessary files: Once you find a suitable EFI configuration, download the necessary files, including the bootloader (e.g., OpenCore or Clover) and any additional kexts or drivers required for your hardware.
3. Configure the EFI: Configure the EFI files according to your hardware specifications. This involves editing configuration files, such as the config.plist file, to match your system's hardware settings, including CPU, graphics, audio, and network.
4. Create a bootable USB installer: Use the EFI configuration files to create a bootable USB installer for macOS Monterey or macOS Ventura. You can use tools like gibMacOS or createinstallmedia to create the installer.
5. Install macOS: Boot your laptop from the USB installer and proceed with the installation of macOS Monterey or macOS Ventura. Follow the on-screen instructions and select the appropriate options during the installation process.
Remember that installing macOS on non-Apple hardware (Hackintosh) may require additional troubleshooting and customization, and results may vary depending on your specific hardware configuration. It's essential to research and understand the process thoroughly before attempting the installation.
Additionally, always make sure to back up your data before performing any system modifications or installations.
i have a dell optiplex 7010 dt, 12gb ram, i5-3540, 2 amd radeon hd 7470 graphics card, i tried installing monterey using opencore guide, but i got stuck at "please go to https //panic.apple.com to report this panic". i cant proceed any futher becuase i cant find a solution😔
ReplyDeleteHey there! The "https://panic.apple.com" error usually points to a kernel panic due to incompatible EFI settings or missing kexts. Here are some steps you can try to fix it on your Dell OptiPlex 7010:
DeleteUpdate OpenCore and Kexts: Make sure you're using the latest OpenCore version and up-to-date kexts (especially Lilu, WhateverGreen, AppleALC, and VirtualSMC).
SMBIOS Settings: Use an SMBIOS compatible with Ivy Bridge, like iMac13,1 or iMac13,2. Open config.plist and set PlatformInfo > Generic > SystemProductName to one of these.
Disable Unnecessary Features: In config.plist, enable DisableIoMapper under Kernel > Quirks (helps with older systems) and disable AppleCpuPmCfgLock and AppleXcpmCfgLock if CFG Lock can’t be disabled in BIOS.
BIOS Config: Go into BIOS and set SATA mode to AHCI, disable VT-d (if present), Secure Boot, and CFG Lock if possible.
Handle Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7470 might be causing issues. Use -wegnoegpu boot argument with WhateverGreen to disable unsupported GPUs temporarily or try running with only one GPU if possible.
Verbose Mode: Add -v to boot args (in NVRAM > Add > boot-args in config.plist) to boot in Verbose Mode and get more detailed error messages.
Extra Quirks: For Ivy Bridge CPUs, set ProvideCustomSlide to true under Booter > Quirks.
After applying these changes, rebuild the EFI on your USB and give it another try. If you still get panics, check the Verbose output for any specific error messages – they can help pinpoint what’s wrong. Good luck!
