OpenCore Guide for Hackintosh Users

OpenCore is a boot loader that prepares systems for macOS installation on x86 PCs by injecting SMBIOS, ACPI tables, and kexts to enable security features like SIP and FileVault. This guide focuses on installing macOS on PCs and teaching users what makes their hackintosh work. It is not a one-click install and requires reading to learn and troubleshoot issues as OpenCore is still in beta with frequent updates.

#What is OpenCore and who is this guide


for
OpenCore is what we refer to as a "boot loader" – it is a complex piece of software that
we use to prepare our systems for macOS – specifically by injecting new data for macOS
such as SMBIOS, ACPI tables and kexts. How this tool differs from others like Clover is
that it has been designed with security and quality in mind, allowing us to use many
security features found on real Macs, such as System Integrity Protection (opens new
window)and FileVault (opens new window). A more in-depth look can be found
here: Why OpenCore over Clover and others

This guide specifically focuses on two main things:

• Installing macOS on an X86-based PC


• Teaching you what makes your Hack work

Because of this, you will be expected to read, learn and even use Google. This is not a
simple one-click install setup.

Please remember that OpenCore is still new and currently in beta. While quite stable,
and arguably much more stable than Clover in pretty much every way, it is still being
frequently updated, so chunks of configuration change quite often (i.e. new quirks
replacing old ones).

Lastly, those having issues can visit both the r/Hackintosh subreddit (opens new
window)and r/Hackintosh Discord (opens new window)for more help.
