Story:

I had an old desktop lying around which had Intel Core i3 (first gen) processor and I wanted to build Hackintosh for fun.

So I bought 2x 8 GB RAM sticks, but to my disappointment, the motherboard was not working and I couldn't find any good new motherboards for first gen Intel Core i3.

I did find a second hand Intel Core i5 3470 and a decent motherboard from Ant Esports which I promptly bought and I also threw in an Asus AMD Radeon RX 550.

It took me almost a year of working on it to get all the issues sorted and having a hardware acceleration, but here I am now!

I haven't yet tried signing in with Apple ID, but will try later.

Also, It's saying Video Acceleration unavailable in VideoProc Converter even though I have done the configuration according to this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb5yKRhOtp0

I am still running through the post install process and have to set up/fix power management etc.
