Salutations hackintosh community
I have just recently acquired an HP laptop and a few other things and wondering the best way for me to get to el capitan+?
I bought a new 1TB hard drive (not yet in use) to put in, a logitech gaming mouse and an 8GB thumb drive.
I own a macbook at with Lion on it and a physical copy of a Snow Leopard DVD
Build specs are in signature/profile in a moment. BUT i am slight confused of what it is i have exactly... I have attached a few png snips of CPU-Z and sytem preferences at the bottom.
Plans are to have an eGPU and monitor for gaming purposes/extreme video editing
What I am most certainly confused with is the process. From my understanding I have found this:

1?. Put in new 1TB HD into Laptop?? (I am so confused on this step as i have never done this before and wonder if i can just insert the snowleopard dvd and install onto blank HD with windows laptop??)
OR i put in new HD, reinstall windows 7 on HD and go onto step 2?
2. iBoot and UniBeast process with Snowleopard DVD (Do i use my macbook for this?)
