Hey guys! I want to share my new PC for work at home... Im apple fan from 10 years of using MACs before 1 week... I tested new iMac Pro (hi-end custom build) and Custom PC configuration and guess... PC win! :( But after one week ot using that machine I love fastest speed, but when I explore, copy, paste, move and another things inside Windows all Is very slowly :( I totally hate Windows and wanna migrate to Mac again... and this maybe a only way to be happy, only when to install Hackintosh. Maybe here in forum have a solution but I am not good to read all for that migration. Here my specs and please can anyone tell me how to setup bios and others software to run Hackintosh?


Tell me what to do, please!

Best, regards!

Asus Wireless/wifi is not compatible. Apple use a very narrow spec of hardware for wifi/bluetooth.

Off the shelf supported wifi/bluetooth hardware is listed under accessories in the Buyers Guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/august/2018/#Accessories

It is also covered in the network section:

There are other options, many folk use hardware that is compatible and used by either Apple or other PC vendors:

For installation, look at users with the same board, processor type (I7-8086K is just special edition model), put the board model number into search;

Some best practice advice, install macOS to barebones setup (remove printers, external drives, USB habs and all additional stuff that can slow down and complicate a fresh OS installation. Connect to a monitor at 1080P if possible. macOS does not support HDMI 2.
Use the main install guide for reference and general process, but with additional info from folk using the same board and similar GPU model. UEFI BIOS settings are given in the main guide. Specific UEFI/BIOS advice may also be in user guides with the same motherboard.

Good luck
