Hello there, After hackintoshing 3 Optiplex 7010 thanks to tonymacx86, I would love to build an up-to-date computer from the ground up. What I want : a working hackintosh with as much as possible out-of-the-box compatibility. Don't need WiFi or Thunderbolt, but would like Bluetooth to work...

I want to start over clean, installing Windows first on a specific SSD with the over unplugged, following this guide. The thing is that if I start by making the Bios settings first, disabling legacy booting, I have only a black screen and can't do anything at boot. Windows doesn't boot, Clover...

I spoke too fast. I replaced bootmgfw.efi in windows file by cloverx64.efi from clover file. But now, it can no longer boot in windows : if i select windows at clover boot screen, it will relaunch clover without any choice this time. I guess I did something wrong.

No, it is Macintosh HD, the name of my macOS drive.

It does still work if I unplug Windows' SSD. To be frank, I've red almost everything on the forums about this issue and I think I did all correct. My Windows installation was not legacy but UEFI, and I did not overwrite the Clover's EFI partition on disk0. The only issue I keep having is the...

So, do you think I should redo the full installation of macOS as well ?

Actually, yes, I didn't unplug the first SSD in the same time. Is it an issue ? I might reinstall windows from scratch to make sure i wont have troubles if you think it can be. Haven't used windows yet but will become part of my work computer to use windows only softs.

Yes, you just have to add them in clower in the Hide part ! I have same 8300 HP as you and it worked well :) EDIT : nervermind, you already figured it by yourself ! I followed your solution, it works so far but I don't know for how long, as if i understand correctly, any windows update will...

I'll just add something that is kind of strange. I installed a second SSD with Windows 10 on it, using a tonymac guide. Weirdly, I checked my BIOS settings, and they were back to default (port A enabled, legacy supported, etc.) But (1) everything works fine and (2) if I change it back to...

Thanks. Would it work in windows if I want to double boot on a second SSD ?

Hi there ! Thanks for the guide. What are my options if I want a working and fast wifi in my HP 8300 Elite SFF ? Is there any other choice than a cheap usb dongle with low speeds or a Apple native card about 100 bucks ? Thanks :)

Thanks for the quick answer. Seems as the RX 560 LP is the only viable choice for Mojave with a bit of power for games,, but it's really hard to find in France.

Would a GTX 760 fit in a SFF HP Elite 8300, with basic alimentation ?

I keep geting "Your computer has detected a potential problem" on every boot after 10/15 min use. Anyone has them or found how to disable them ? I always click not sending to apple, but would be glad to stop them from appearing in the first place

This was probably easier than my 2 previous builds on Optiplex. All working in 1h30. Thanks for your guide, try96, clear as usual.

So far, I'm stuck on a weird issue : I'm at step 6 but don't understand why I have a shitty resolution and no other choice than 1024x768.... I'm using HD4000. I did Mojave install. EDIT : maybe has something to do with the fact it's unusual ratio ? (21/9). But it does work on Mojave on Optiplex...

Hi trs96. As I couldn't find any good deal to build another Optiplex 7010 on your other guide, I started looking for HP 8300. I made a steal deal yesterday. HP Elite 8300 SFF - i7 3770 - 16go RAM 1600Mhz - 256Go SSD. All for 160€ (around 179$). I will follow your guide this afternoon and keep...

Thanks for your fast answer :) I will look for these. I also found a Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3 Go, from what I've seen online, it's Metal compatible as well. It has quite good performance (almost a GT 1050) but has a huge format that wont fit in a SFF. Too bad, cause it was sold for 35 bucks...

Hi there, Still looking for good deals to build another one :). Found a 7010 with i5 3570 and 4GB RAM for 80 bucks. As it does not have HD4000, I am now looking for the GPU options. As it's a SFF, I don't want to go with a heavy buffy choice, as the airflow wont be sufficient IMO. But I would...

Your 2 last deals are absolutely amazing, trs96 ! If I wasn't in Europe with prohibiting shipping costs, I would again buy one or two... These machines are really amazing.
