Dear Tonymacx86 community, it's time to upgrade!
Back in 2018 I built my first and only hackintosh – High Sierra 10.13.4: it took me a lot to get it fully functional but, since then (5 years!), it never gave any problems
Main components:
- z370 extreme4
- i7 8700k
- Geforce gtx 1060 gaming 3gb
Objective: to update graphics card for gaming on windows ssd parallel to hackintosh ssd.
After some research I'm about to buy an AMD RX6650 XT; I've read that the 6600 series is supported from Monterey onwards and that it's possible to spoof the 6650 with a 6600. I've read that geforce is no longer supported after High Sierra.
And so, before making unrecoverable mess, I would like some advice on how best to operate.
First of all I would do this: clone ssd with working High Sierra using Carbon Copy Cloner (doing so I should make an identical copy, right?)
And then, what do you think is better?
1 – upgrade slowly from working High Sierra up to Monterey? My problem will be that the Geforce won't be recognized anymore from a certain point on, and then I'll have to switch from Geforce to AMD anyway.
2 – attempt a fresh installation of Monterey from scratch; my fear is getting stuck trying to get my hardware to work optimally.
3 - add rx6650 and use it only with windows to the z370 and leave the 1060 with today's High Sierra. But I don't really know if it's possible and if it is a good solution.
In any case I also have to understand how to add the boot for windows on another ssd (I'm reading a few things now)...
Thanks a lot everyone!
