Hi guys,
My girlfriend has a Macbook Pro 2014 Retina model and after suffering whilst watching her use Yosemite, whilst my successful Hackintosh build runs Mountain Lion is just downright painful to me and I attempted to downgrade that thing to 10.8.
After reading up I found out that I couldn't downgrade to an older OS because it didn't have required drivers to support the newer hardware to which I thought "If a legit install doesn't work, let's Hackintosh it!".
And so I'm here to ask a possibly very silly question: Will a Hackintosh work on Apple's own hardware in order to downgrade the OS? And how safe will this be? I want this to be as successful as possible before I try anything because warranty will no doubt we voided if we do this and I can't exactly take back a Hackintoshed machine to the genius bar and expect help.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
