Looking for some info

[Lewdicrous]

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone tried hackintoching this specific laptop.
I've seen other posts of people doing so with a similar laptop, but those had different hardware (CPU and whatnot), but I didn't see one with the hardware that I have. Did anyone try to do it on this? If so, what were the problems that you had to deal with? (during/post install)

I would also like to know if there's a way to create a bootloader from windows or Linux, cause I don't have access to any apple product (I can get the OS from my parents laptop, but I can't use them to create the boot stick)
I've been looking for ways to make a bootoader from Linux (Ubuntu), but all I've been getting was how to boot Linux on a mac.

Thank you

Notes:
1. I want to install High Sierra on said laptop.
2. I'm still reading through the many threads on here, but I don't have the time required to fully understand everything.
3. I tried looking for a way to create a boot stick on windows/Linux, but didn't find a result.

Use search.

You will need a Mac or existing hack in order to access the Mac App Store.

I did, but the ones I found had different CPUs, unless that doesn't make any difference if the chipset is the same.
I can get the High Sierra OS from a Mac, but I can't use said Mac to download the bootloader
I've read some of the thread you linked previously, but I'll try to finish it.

Thanks

Specific CPU does not really matter.

Why not?

Oh I see, was a bit confused, thank you

Why not?

It's belongs to my parents, so i don't want to download a lot of things on to it.
I was gonna build my own vm from the OS I get (from the Mac), but i read somewhere on here that using a vm won't give a clean install or something like that. Is that correct or did I misread it? (Lost the thread so I can't share a link, sorry)
I'll look for a workaround either way.

Just delete what you download after you're done.

I'll look into it.
Thanks for the help
