I ask this question as I don't know anybody with a Mac and I want to try a Hackintosh. I've seen a poster on here with a similar laptop to mine (I have Thinkpad Yoga S1) do a hackintosh with Yosemite installed. I have access to Mac's at college that I don't really use but I think they're locked down and I don't have any Admin rights (do you need Admin rights to get all the stuff you need for an Hackintosh? e.g. download Yosemite and what ever else you need to do?)
Anyway if I need right's I was thinking my next best option is to buy a mac mini from a Apple store and if possible download Yosemite, get set up and then return the Mac Mini back to Apple within their return period. I know the last Mac Mini came out in 2014 but I believe that they now ship with Seirra so i'm not 100% sure if the old Yosemite can be downloaded or not? Also I don't want to invalidate anything where I would have to keep the Mac Mini as it looks like quite poor value for money.
