There is no support for Pentium processors and their integrated graphics.
 
I have seen some post, where mountain lion is working. On same laptop and processor

That's great. You should try Mountain Lion then.

However, it is true that Apple has never used the Pentium CPU/iGPU in a real Mac as @P1LGRIM says, and there is no native support in OS X / macOS.

There are ways to "spoof" the CPU -


- but NOT the iGPU. So unless your laptop has another GPU ...
