Do you want to install a newer version of MacOS than Catalina on your system? If so, officially the newest version that is supported on your system is MacOS Big Sur. Monterey and later dropped support for the HD4000 CPU integrated graphics. OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) is a software designed...

Ventura requires an Intel CPU with AVX2 to use supported AMD graphics cards. Your CPU does NOT support AVX2. Perhaps that is the reason for your problems. I suggest falling back to Monterey with your Sandy Bridge system.

What is the disk that you use to install MacOS Ventura? HDD or SSD? Is the disk recognized in the BIOS menu?

I know that VMware Fusion 12 and 13 use Apple's hypervisor and I fully expect they won't work with AMD CPUs. However : Do you actually mean to say that VMware Fusion 10 / 11 (which still uses its own hypervisor) should work with AMD CPUs when running a compatible version of MacOS (e.g. on...

Using iPad as second display : https://support.apple.com/en-us/102597 I have not used Sidecar myself, but according to its requirements, you have a problem as you said you can't log in app store. If you actually are unable to sign in with your Apple ID on your hackintosh, then you can't use...

In addition, the 6700 XT is not supported on MacOS. Edit : Well, not natively, anyway. It might work with NootRX but is not guaranteed to.

Yes, but is it a SATA SSD (requires data and power cables) or a NVMe M.2 drive (install directly onto the motherboard)? If it is a NVMe M.2 drive, there is a problem. Samsung NVMe M.2 SSDs are known to have serious issues with MacOS Monterey, Ventura and Sonoma.

I have recently come to this realization that unlike Clover, you can't change the boot arguments in the OpenCore picker. You have to edit the corresponding config.plist file to change boot arguments. While OpenCore definitely seems to work better than the old Clover with MacOS, I can't help but...

Using the Run dialog again? I would just right-click the Start button and then click "Disk Management". At least it works that way in Windows 10 / Windows 8.1 / Windows 7. If like me you installed a start menu replacement like Classic Shell or Open Shell, then hold down the Shift key and...

Good to see that you NEVER had one SSD failed on you. I am telling you, however, that SSDs can fail, either suddenly or slowly. In my case, for example, I had a Kingston KC2500 M.2 NVMe that I was using in my system for some time. It was used very lightly. However, one day when I switched on...

Not with your current configuration as the CPU integrated graphics is no longer supported. That ship has sailed. Unless you spend extra to get a supported AMD graphics card (e.g. RX 580 / RX 6600), forget about Sonoma (or Ventura by the way). And remember, the current AMD cards like RX 7600 are...

I see. Massively downclocked so as to not generate too much heat. Otherwise I don't see how such a cooling fan will be sufficient.

Interesting product, provided you can get it. I wonder if the cooling on this card is really sufficient for a RX 6600?

The CPU in your system does not support AVX 2.0. Therefore even if you get a supported AMD graphics card, you will still be unable to run Sonoma (and Ventura) since the AMD graphics drivers in Ventura and Sonoma requires AVX 2.0. The furthest your system will support is MacOS Monterey, and then...

If you already have a Intel Mac mini and want to use VMware Fusion to run Intel virtual machines, that will be (mostly) fine as long as your Mac has sufficient RAM and disk space (to hold the virtual machine files). But if you want to use that 12th generation PC to run Intel virtual machines...

The Nvidia GTX 1660 Super is NOT supported on MacOS. Replace it with a supported AMD card like the RX 580 or RX 6600 (Monterey or later) and then you should be able to install and run MacOS on your system. Apple never used AMD CPUs in real Macs, so AMD CPUs are NOT supported. However, you...

This may be a bit irrelevant to the thread, but I respectfully disagree with the "very good" assessment, especially with the newer versions of Workstation (past 16.1.2). As a long time user of VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion, I am still staying with Workstation 15.5.2 (Windows Server 2019...

As already mentioned, I don't think you can, since the CPU integrated graphics is not supported on MacOS, and the limitations of your chassis probably barred installation of suitable graphics cards (unless you can find a small suitable one). Note also that Samsung NVMe SSDs like your 980 Pro...

Your graphics card is based on the Pitcairn architecture, which was before the Polaris cards (RX 460 / RX 470 / RX 480 / RX 560 / RX 570 / RX 580). As far as I know, it is NOT supported on MacOS Sonoma. It should be supported on MacOS Catalina up to MacOS Monterey though.

CPU integrated graphics of this system is NOT supported. You need a supported AMD graphics card to install and run MacOS on this system.
