Yes you can, all you need is your current running system.
And not without help
I'm always glad to help. (I just like manners)
This is way off topic, and I should instead probably write a complete Post on understanding the Hackintosh basics.
Explaining what a DSDT is and so on.
I'll try to make it short.
You can understand the DSDT and SSDTs as kind of Computerprograms, not like your Browser or Games or stuff like that, but really really low level. They are telling OS X how to talk in 1s and 0s to your screen or usb ports for example.
They kind of translate "dim the screen to setting 3" into what the actual hardware understands, the "bits and bytes"
And they are all unique! Every PC has it's own version of translation, because it uses slightly different components.
They can even differ from one another on the same PC after you update the BIOS (aka today the UEFI).
The DSDT in this case is the main Translator, which has the most important translations in it.
The SSDTs are add-ons.
To visualize it, when someone talks basic english they may be able to translate an english sentence into their own language.
But if they have to translate slang (something you might find on urbandictionary) which they don't know, they need someone who explains this special version of english to them. This someone is the SSDT.
Although your Laptop may have the same CPU, the main translator (DSDT) is very different to the one I have and the SSDTs are as well.
I hope this kind of helped you understand a little why you need to create your own versions of DSDT and SSDT.
Back to "Topic".
You need to boot El Capitan, and follow the instructions here, and be careful to follow every step: https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh
This way you can create the SSDT for your CPU.
After you have done this read the whole article about DSDT and SSDT patching: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/
Read it carefully, completely, read it twice, try to understand what you have to do, read it once more and then follow the steps.
Try to really understand which of the steps are important for your system (for example, you don't have a skylake laptop so if the guide states anything that is skylake specific you skip that.)
Trust me when I tell you it takes a lot of time to really understand it (especially if you are not a native english speaker, like me back when I started with Hackintosh).
The first time I installed my PC with Mac it took me a whole week to get it barely running and another week to improve it.
So take your time, do your own research wherever you can, ask specific questions (nothing along the lines of "my system doesn't work, help"), currently I think you did well.
You didn't know why to create your own DSDT or SSDT so you asked specifically why you need to create them.
If you keep on this way you will succeed with what you want to achieve, which currently is installing OS X.
Try to do everything I told you to and then you can report back to me and ask me more questions.
You are trying, that's the most important part.
Just, be nice, be kind, be smart.
Trust me, it will help you, not only here
