I am wondering if my laptop will be compatible to install mac os on to it.

Specs:

i7 6700hq with Intel 530 Graphics
970m Nvidia GeForce Graphics Card (Uses GTX 970 Drivers)
1TB 7200RPM Drive (Mac OS will be installed on this drive)
128SSD (I have windows installed to it)
16GB DDR4 Ram
Killer Networking Wireless Card



I also have another question. Can I dual boot windows and mac? Windows on my SSD and mac on my HDD.

not a desktop, moved to laptop compatibility

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

your nvidia won't be compatible, but you can disable that via DSDT/SSDT edits

also, your hardware profile is nonsense, please update accordingly

Ok Thanks. I have one last quick question. I heard that Hackintosh bootloaders edit the UEFI Rom chip and can potentially brick your motherboard. Is it possible that I can possibly ruin my computer?

Clover does not "edit the UEFI Rom chip" (whatever that means).

By Disabling it, you mean in clover I need to only inject intel. Correct?

Read the FAQ. The topic of Nvidia in Optimus is covered.
