Help me.
I cant make step 8. Anyone help me this step.
 
I have an Alienware Steam I purchased NEW from GameStop for $379 (heck of a deal for an i7 Quad Core) in December 2016. I tried the Hackintosh at first it didn't work but, I tried the El Capitan install. After that, I loaded the Sierra OS version 10.12.4, it worked/installed flawless. The only thing is that when I have my external USB plugged in it seems to lock up sometimes but if I leave it out it's rock solid.

I have the i7 Alienware Steam Machine. I had to send it into Dell/Alienware for the "Yellow Flash of Death" and Dell/Alienware replaced the mainboard and it's been fine ever since. I also had about 2 months left on the warranty and told Dell/Alienware that it was purchased before Christmas and I should have at least 1 year of support. I faxed the copy of my receipt and they added the 1 year warranty giving me support until 12/2017.

My version of Sierra is running on an external 64GB SSD I purchased from MicroCenter years ago. Its their rebranded Sandisk SSD G2 Series Solid State Drive With SandForce 1222 Controller. I F12 in UEFI mode and select the 64GB SSD, Clover loads and boot right into my Hackintosh. There was an issue with a game I have on Steam, "The Witness" does not play, the graphics seems to not be working but that might be an issue with the game since they just released it for OSX April 3rd??

I am thinking of making a YouTube video showing my steps to get it Sierra installed but that is yet to be determined?

My Bluetooth headphones, mouse and Steam controller work without mods so I use my Beats Bluetooth headphones for audio because I have mine connected to a 25" HP monitor not TV. I was thinking of getting a Logitech 980-000910 Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Bluetooth Streaming or anAvantree aptX LOW LATENCY Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver 2-in-1 for my studio monitors to use Logic Pro X for music production. I only wish that they had made this unit able to support multiple drives or had enough space to install dual hard drives...let the mods begin!

Thanks tonymacx86, you guys rock!! Also thanks to the guys that are the testers and posters with information helping others set their systems up.

Did you make a video? If not, can you at least write the steps. I have the same computer and would like to install Sierra even High Sierra if possible:) Thanks!

If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard (Mobo).
