Hi everyone, thanks for an amazing forum and community here! I've recently (2-3 weeks ago) built my first hackintosh. Since it's so recent, I opted for 10.13.3 and got everything to work, even the supplemental update (which crashed my nvidia card) after a few tweaks. It's finally working!...
...however: I've recently discovered some serious osx lag with moving windows around, opening and closing finder/internet windows, and general other small lags. I've read on these forums that this is due to High Sierra having some issues with the new drivers, and with some recommendations from the forum, saw others downgrade to Sierra to solve some issues until the tech is figured out later this year to smooth it out. Unfortunately, I've discovered I am completely terrified at trying this out on my own without proper instructions due to a fear of completely ruining my machine.
So - here are my questions:
1. Is there a guide/post on here that I'm not seeing that properly does a step-by-step process for downgrading? I've never done it before and I'm new to clover/hacking all this and REALLY don't want to mess up everything up and start all over with HS.
2. Considering I am working on a ssd (500gb) that already has an OSX installed, I imagine the process is different then the guide for Installing Sierra on intel computers via unibeast. Can anyone concur or shine some light? Would it be better to remove my current SSD and use a clean blank SSD (250gb)
I'm sure I'm not the only newb on here who's experiencing this problem, and any help, guidance or information to keep me learning and doing this the right way would be great appreciated. Without you smart and helpful folk, none of us would be able to get better and help others. Thank you.
