I need help to determine if my laptop is compatible for installation of OS X.
If so, which OS X to install?
I like to run OS X with Windows 7 x64 on the same hard drive!
If anyone already installed OS X on same or similar hardware, please share video or writing tutorial.


Thanks :)

Yosemite should work. You can actually install any of Lion (10.7.5) through Yosemite (10.10.x).

- Can I hold with this tutorial link .

It is good to be familiar with the procedures in that guide, but laptops require special care: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...aller-laptops-unibeast-chimera-chameleon.html

I recommend using Clover: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...oting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover-uefi.html
 
I try
but not work. i created usb-installer but my pc not support UEFI (only capable) :) HP have everything locked :yawn: !

I get to installer with cpus=1 command, but I get Stretched Install Screen !

I need DSDT patches right or can I just copy paste some file ?? What to do? I can use mac for editing!

You forgot to fill out your profile with detailed specs.
 
Ok I fill it.

Read the guide carefully. You have a 1600x900 screen. Requires DSDT patches...

Your chipset remains unspecified (although it is likely HM6x).
