The Hardware
Not all PC's can run Macintosh, you will need a good pc to run Mac. AMD CPU's are not recommended for this, as they don't run Mac's well. You can also build yourself a PC to get your Mac running on it.
Things Required
You need a quite a few things to install Macintosh on your system, and here s the list of things needed:
- Yosemite Zone 10.10.1 (Free): Yosemite Zone is a OS X Yosemite that has been modified to work with PCs. You will need to use a bittorrent client to download the disk image file containing Yosemite Zone, which is a little less than 6 GB in size. You must register on the Hackintosh Zone website to be able to download anything. Important: Make sure that you download the DMG version of the macintosh, the DMG version is for the direct installation and the ISO is for virtually running the OS.
- An empty USB drive (6 GB or larger): In this guide, you will write Yosemite Zone onto a USB drive, and boot your computer from that drive to install OS X Yosemite. The USB drive must be at least 6 GB in size. Since you will need to erase all of the files on the USB drive, make sure to back up its contents first. You can reuse this USB drive for normal stuff after you finish installing Yosemite.
- TransMac: you need to use TransMac to write the disk image file onto your USB drive. You can just download the free trial.
- Multibeast (Free): Multibeast is a collection of kext files that your Hackintosh will need to run properly, after the initial installation. Be sure to download the newest version 7 of Multibeast, not the older versions 3, 4, 5, or 6 (which are for Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks respectively
