Hello guys,

i have recently bought a Macbook Air 13" 2016, and i think that macOS (OS X) is awesome.. Now i want to install it on my main PC.

From what i have read my build should be compatible.


My Specs:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 - 2GB
Intel Core i5-4570 @ 3,2GHz
ASrock Fatal1ty H97 or Z97. Im not sure about this, im not at home ATM.

Will it work out of to box, or do i have to tweak some stuff? And what about iMessage? I have read multiple times that people managed to get iMessage for.. do i really need this? I dont use it on my Macbook Air, for what can i use it?

BTW: Im german, so if german people are here they can explain me some stuff in german.. would be easier i think because my english sucks lol

E: and can i install macOS sierra directly? or do i have to install El Capitan first and then update to Sierra? Ive read some stuff that if you install Sierra directly that you will have some problems..


Thanks in advance
Dylan

Thanks for your reply!

Where do i see if my 760 is Maxwell?

And i can only see macOS Sierra Update in the App Store.. Is there another way to download El Capitan? (Legal way)
 
E: i actually do have the following motherboard: ASRock H87 Performance.. Is this compatible?
 
So I've installed everything now, seems like everything is working.. only the sound is not working and I have to boot in manually from the USB Stick. . I don't get it.. The Hackintosh knows what GPU and CPU I use, its written down in "over this Mac"
 
Im using clover just like in the tutorial, and my question now is? Do i have to install clover on the SSD after i ve installed macOS?

I mean, i first install it with macOS on the USB Stick and after that i boot from the USB to install macOS on my SSD, but i always have to boot from the usb stick, so i think i need to install clover on the SSD? am i right?

thanks in advance
