Help needed! Hackintosh - IGuessNot - 01-03-2018
Hello!
I've got a question regarding making a hackintosh. Is it possible to buy a second hard drive and install macos on it, so I'll have 2 hard drives(Windows 10 and Macos) and I can choose which to boot from? I don't know if my pc is compatible for macos, I will post some of its specs below.
SPECS;
Gpu: nvidia gtx 1060 3gb (gigabite geforce gtx 1060 mini itx oc 3g)
Cpu: amd ryzen 5 1500x quad core
Motherboard: asus prime b350-plus
Ram: 8gb ddr4 2133mhz dual channel

You can have two OSs and hard drives, but good luck running MacOS on an AMD CPU.
Seriously, MacOS doesn't work well at all on AMDs, and likely won't boot.

Thx for the reply! Is there any way to find out if my pc is able to run macos?

Theoretically, it can.
Practically, it can't without using a VM or something.

Ok so I could run a vm on my system to check if its possible. Thx for the help bro! I will try it out!

A VM works In It's own Isolated environment.
What he's Indicating, Is that you can run the MacOS In a VM on your host physical system, but not check for compatibility between the MacOs (VM) and the Host.

It works fine, but you need to patch the CPUID check out of the kernel (manually), and the kernel tends to use the IMA optimizations that obviously aren't present in AMD chips. these can be patched into software in most cases though, since you're already messing up the SHA1 check

I doubt you'll get an AMD processor running MacOS you can check around YouTube and hackintosh forums tho.
RE: Help needed! Hackintosh - mothered - 01-05-2018
If It were me, I'd save myself the headache and Install It on a VM.
If the PC's specs are very respectable, there will be very minimal difference In performance (with the VM) to that of the physical system.

It's possible, I've done it. There are very specific things you need to do, as I've detailed in this thread. the gist:
patch out CPUID check
write SSE4 handlers and use the exceptions to trigger your code
do the same for MMX
manipulate the TLB to use the proper addresses
