Hello everyone!

I want to install OS X on my old HP 620 (Delphi D40). I know that it isn't a powerful laptop, but I just want to try how can it run OS X just for fun. I have two working Hackintosh desktops, both are installed with Clover, but I have never installed OS X on a laptop before (except of my MacBooks of course :) )

Can anyone help me? Where should I start with this?

From looking at HP website that laptop doesn't have discrete graphics. It only has Intel GMA graphics which won't work in OS X. But you can run OS X it just won't have QE/CI & OpenGL.

GMA 4500MHD graphics are not supported by any version of OS X.
 
I see. Just another quick question, should I use Clover for the installation?

Clover is the only bootloader supported for 10.11 here.

But installing OS X on your hardware is pointless. Your graphics device is not supported.
