Hey everyone! After multiple attempts, I finally managed to get macOS Sequoia 15.3 running on my MSI Modern 14 C7M alongside Windows. It was a challenging process, but totally worth it. I wanted to share my specs, what's working, what's not, and my overall experience to help others attempting a similar setup.

Laptop Specs

• Model: MSI Modern 14 C7M
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (2 GHz)
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX Graphics (2GB)
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz
• Storage: Samsung MZVL4512HBLU-OOBTW NVMe SSD (512 GB)
• WiFi & Bluetooth: Mediatek RZ608 Wi-Fi 6E

macOS Version & Bootloader

• macOS Version: Sequoia 15.3
• Bootloader: OpenCore

What’s Working ✅

✔ macOS boots Success fully
✔ Keyboard Backlight
✔ Apple Services (iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.)
✔ GPU acceleration (AMD Radeon RX Graphics)
✔ Audio
✔ Webcam
✔ Keyboard
✔ Trackpad (with gestures)
✔ Brightness and Audio keys
✔ Display at 1920x1080 resolution
✔ Terminal, system UI, and overall smooth performance

What’s NOT Working / Issues ❌

❌ WiFi & Bluetooth: Mediatek RZ608 doesn’t have native macOS support, so WiFi and Bluetooth are not working (unless using external adapters or workarounds)
❌ SD Card Reader: Only supported until macOS Sonoma, so it doesn’t work in Sequoia
❌ Fan & Battery Drain Issue: The fans are spinning 90% of the time, and the battery drains quickly. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Challenges & Fixes 🔧

🔧 WiFi Fix: I plan to replace my WiFi card with an Intel AX210 since it works with both macOS and Windows.
🔧 VRAM Fix: Initially, VRAM was only 512MB, causing laggy animations and poor performance. I accessed the BIOS advanced settings and increased it to 2GB, which significantly improved the experience.

Dual Boot Setup 🖥️

• Boot Manager Used: Currently, I dual boot OpenCore and Windows. However, I plan to keep macOS and Windows EFI partitions separate. As of now, I can only boot macOS using a USB drive. I worry that mounting the macOS EFI on my main disk could cause issues with future Windows updates.
• Windows & macOS Coexistence: No issues so far while dual-booting Windows and macOS.

Final Thoughts 💭

Overall, this was a great learning experience, and I’m happy with the results! If anyone else is trying to Hackintosh an MSI Modern 14 C7M or a similar Ryzen laptop, feel free to ask questions.

I’m also looking for ways to improve power efficiency and reduce fan noise. If anyone has suggestions, please share!
