Basic installation with Iboot and Snow Leopard doesnt work

[Roffe57]

Hi everybody
I had ElCapitan on my old computer, but now Ive replaced the motherboard and cpu and graphics, and the old installation doesnt work anymore, it just doesnt start.
So, Ive decided to make a fresh install and download High Sierra.
But when I try to install the retail disc Snowleopard, it just doesnt start.
It starts but stops after a while.
Im using IBoot and retail Snowleopard.
Motherboard: Asus Prime Z270-A
Cpu: Intel I7 7700K
Graphics: Amd 7970

Your hardware is too new to be supported in Snow Leopard.

There's no chance that Snow Leopard (2009) will ever install on hardware that new. Just not possible.

Ok, thanx. So, basically thats it?
What should I do then?
I still have my old installation with El Capitan on the harddrive, but it wont start.
It was made with a Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard, and a Intel Core Quad cpu. Recently, I upgraded to the above mentioned.

What should I do then?

Install Windows 10 on your Asus Prime system. Then follow this guide by Feartech to get a version of macOS that you want to run on it. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-installer-using-opencore.296375/post-2108796

HS, Mojave, Catalina or Big Sur should all work. If you have a working Mac with at least a Core 2 Duo CPU that could be used as well.

Ok , thank you, I will check this out

Im sorry, but this is way over my head.
Isnt there an easier way, on all of your guides except the latest , you recommend Snow Leopard or Lion from scratch, how is this. Most people have new systems.
Couldnt I just use my friends Imac 2012, and download High Sierra or Mojave and create the usb installer?

Buy a used Mac. Borrow a used Mac from a friend to download High Sierra. If you already have macOS Mt. Lion or newer running on a Mac it is super easy to run the gibMacOS.commnad in Terminal and get HS or whatever you want newer than that. See my guide for how to do that.

When your Mac is ineligible to download Catalina or Newer macOS versions If your Intel Mac is from approximately 2011/12 or older (see post #2) you won't be able to download Catalina from the Mac App Store. Follow the instructions in these videos to enable the download of Catalina or newer...

Here's an example of a Mac mini that works to create a HS USB installer to use with your Z270 PC.

After you're done with it, resell it to recover the money. Keep it or give it away. All are options.

If I just do what I suggested before, then I could follow your instructions on "Guides"
Borrow my friends Imac and download High Sierra or Mojave, and create the usb from there, using multibeast and Unibeast, as Ive done before.
This gibMacOs thing seems to messy for me.
Im not that good on computers
