ok,i'll make a link here and your ID will be includedThe guide from post #1 is not 100% up to date but it should do. You can translate it if you want to (with a link to this thread).

I followed the guide, my laptop(Inspiron 7559 16GB + m.2 ssd) is almost 100% working,
the only thing that is not is the webcam, any clue?
Nope, the webcam isn't showingDoes it show in System Information -> USB?

1) everyday use is excellent. I use this laptop in university running macOS (better productivity etc). At home, i run Windows 10 when i want to game (dual boot on a 256GB SSD).Just finished reading all 79 pages of posts over the last two days. RehabMan, you have the patience of Job. My profile is out of date, as I do not have any current hackintosh builds.
I am getting ready to open up my wallet to buy the gear required for this build, but have a few questions, if you will indulge me.
1) I know forums like this focus on solving issues with a given build, but it is hard to get a sense if there are a good number of folks who are happy with it for everyday use. I plan to swap out the ODD to add a 2nd drive to dual boot Windows 10 so that I can use this machine as my daily work (Windows required) and everything else (Mac) machine. Have ppl found this to be a nice stable machine?
2) I plan on buying this i7 model from Amazon and installing the other 8GB stick. Not sure what value the 8GB SSD adds tho...
3) I plan on swapping the ODD for an SSD as described in post #2. Will this adapter work? Do I need the 9.5mm or the 12.7mm version?
4) BCM94352Z - This the right one? No issues w AliExpress these days?
5) Need to run a 2nd monitor. Anyone had success extending desktop via HDMI to external monitor from OSX?
6) Will use iMovie a fair amount to edit/splice video. This machine up to it?
Thanks very much for any insight. I plan to follow the guides to the letter and look for answers in the thread BEFORE I ask questions!
HiThanks dodvip123.
So, you dual boot to a 256 GB SSD and use the 1TB for shared storage for both OS. One partition for each, or no? Did you use this guide?
I built a Hackintosh desk top back in 2011 but have not done anything since. When I was done I remember thinking how much easier it would have been "if I knew then what I know now" and how much less hair pulling frustration figuring things out and asking stupid questions to the forum.
Now that the wounds I'm sure you incurred during your build have healed, any tips/tricks/warnings to share?
Thanks so very much.
