WELCOME………….

Pre-Requisite:

Windows OS:10/8.1/8/7 [Only and ONLY 64 Bit OS is supported]

RAM: 4 GB+ [Please do not try installing MAC OS X if you have less than 4 GB RAM. The Virtual OS will simply crawl.

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core/i3/i5/i7/Celeron [AMD ATHLON PROCESSOR IS NOT SUPPORTED NORMALLY, THERE ARE WAYS, HOWEVER THOSE ARE ONLY FOR GEEKS]

Free Hard Disk: 40 GB for MAC OS X and another 2 GB for needful software. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE 40 GB IN C:/ DRIVE.

Note:

Download Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended trial for Mac to create powerful images and discover new dimensions in digital imaging. Adobe illustrator cs5 trial social advice Mac users interested in Adobe illustrator cs5 trial generally download: Adobe Illustrator 24.3. Create distinctive vector artwork for any project. Used by design professionals worldwide. Adobe illustrator artwork 16.0. Download cs5 trial for mac. Free adobe premiere cs5 download mac. Audio & Video tools downloads - Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 by Adobe Systems Inc. And many more programs are available for instant and free download.

1. Actually later you will understand that the location you will choose for the virtual machines virtual RAM will need maximum 8 GB space. [THOUGH THIS DEPENDS UPON HOW MUCH RAM YOU ALLOCATE FOR MAC OS X – HERE I ASSUME YOU WILL MAX ALLOCATE 4 GB RAM TO MAC OS X]

2. Also the OS X 10.11 El Capitan Retail (VMWare virtual disk file with .vmdk extension) file size is 9.64 GB. THIS IS YOUR MAC OS X HARD DISK. WITH TIME WHEN YOU WILL UPDATE YOUR MAC OS X FROM VERSION 10.11 TO 10.11.5 (Latest as of June 2016) THIS FILE SIZE WILL INCREASE.ALSO WITH TIME IF YOU PLAN TO INSTALL MAC SOFTWARES THIS WILL GET LARGER AND LARGER UP TO 83 GB (MAXIMUM LIMIT).

So in brief:

MAC OS Hard Disk without update to 10.11.5 & 4 GB virtual MAC RAM=25 GB will do.

MAC OS Hard Disk with update to 10.11.5 & 4 GB virtual MAC RAM=30 GB will do.

MAC OS Hard Disk with update to 10.11.5 & 4 GB virtual MAC RAM + Software > 40 GB needed.

HOWEVER, THE MAC HARD DISKS LIMITATION IS 80 GB.

IF YOU ARE NEWBIE TO MAC OS X THEN IT IS SAFER FOR YOU TO CHOOSE ONE OF YOUR WINDOWS PARTITION WHERE YOU CAN CREATE FOLDER/S OF ATLEAST 40 GB SIZE.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHOOSEN WINDOWS PARTITION WILL NOT BE DELETED OR FORMATED.

NOTE THAT WE HAVE INCLUDED BOTH VMWARE WORKSATION 12 PRO & VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PLAYER – THE NON-COMMERCIAL FREE VERSION OF VMWARE WORKSTATION PRO.

THOUGH THE PRO VERSION IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN THE PLAYER VERSION, IF YOUR OBJECTIVE IS ONLY TO VIRTUALIZE THE MAC OS X OPERATING SYSTEM – IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PLAYER WHICH CONSUMES LESS SYSTEM MEMORY BUT YIELDS THE SAME RESULT FOR VIRTUALIZING MAC OS X – EL CAPITAN.

VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PRO IS REALLY A RAM CONSUMING SOFTWARE. UNLESS YOU HAVE PLENTY OF RAM FOR YOUR WINDOWS AND VIRTUAL MAC OS X IT IS RECOMMENDED TO GO FOR VMWARE WORKSTATION 12 PLAYER.

THE CONFIGURATION IS SAME FOR BOTH THE PRO AND FREE VERSION.

Step One:

Start or Restart your Computer.

Now go to UEFI or Bios setup.

Find for ‘INTEL VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY’ and Enable the option.

Save and restart computer.

Boot to Windows.

Step Two:

Earlier this week I was very excited to release OS X El Capitan. The OS upgrade is highly recommended as it significantly increases Macs ‘ performance (which can run Yosemite). However, I did not have a pleasant experience in the upgrade process. I have been able to upgrade my Mac only a few hours ago. This was six times in a row after the MAS download and I wasted 15 GB data on a one-time 6.08 GB download.

Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Overview

There are many reasons for this radical decision. You decided to download an older version of Mac OS X. Initially, some applications might not (or just crash) work properly on newer operating systems. You might also have realized that the performance of your Mac fell immediately after the last update. Last but not least, if you want to run a parallel version of Mac OS X on a virtual machine, it will take you to install the file of an older Mac OS X in a functional manner.

The 2015 release Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 aims primarily at providing greater safety, efficiency, and reliability. This Mac OS X release is a full package for stability, privacy, performance and file search simultaneously. Many technological improvements along with improved tweaks are made and the desktop is more smartly organized. This is a very well equipped release with many attractive characteristics such as the split view for the screens to be divided as needed. Mac OS X El Captian 10.11.6 is designed to make many bugs fixes possible in addition to dependency and security.

There are a lot of improvements to OS X El Capitan 10.11.1, such as improved installer reliability when upgrading to OS X El Capitan. Microsoft Office 2016 compatibility was also significantly improved. The update also solved an issue that prevented messages and mailboxes from being displayed in the mail. The reliability of VoiceOver has also been greatly improved. With full Unicode 7.0 and 8.0 support, over 150 emoji characters were added. The problem has also been resolved that prevented the proper operation of Audio Unit plugins. Was there a problem with JPEG images in the previous version that appears in the preview in grey and green? And in this update, this problem was fixed. you can also check out the Logic Pro X Free.

Warning: Please follow these instructions at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage or information loss that could result from following this guide. Also, note that installing OS X on PC is illegal. Please buy a real Mac if you're satisfied with your Hackintosh. This guide is for evaluation purposes only.

Requirements

  • An Intel-based PC with UEFI bios
  • A USB flash drive with at least 16GB capacity
  • A dedicated hard drive (SSD highly recommended)
  • A computer running OS X (10.9 or later) for preparing the installation USB flash drive

I chose to avoid the UniBeast installer (by Tonymacx86) because of its commercialized nature, as described here. Here is a vanilla guide to installing El Capitan on your PC!

Preparing the USB Installation Drive

First things first. We need to prepare a USB thumb drive that will contain the installation files as well as the bootloader and custom kexts for our specific Hackintosh build.

Download El Capitan from the Mac App Store

Head over to your existing OS X environment running 10.9 or later and open the Mac App Store.

Search for 'El Capitan' and click Download. The download is completely free if you're running OS X 10.9+.

Wait for the download to finish (this could take some time).

Format the USB Drive

Open Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities and locate your USB device. Make sure you've backed up anything important on that drive as it will be erased forever.

Select it, and then on the right, click the partition tab.

  1. Click Curent Layout and change it to 1 Partition.
  2. Set the Name to USB.
  3. Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
  4. Click Options and select GUID Partition Table.

Click Apply to format the drive.

Copy the Installation Files to the USB Drive

Now that we've downloaded the installation files from the Mac App Store and formatted our USB drive, let's copy the installation files to it.

Run the following command in the Terminal (Applications/Utilities):

The command will run a script inside the Install OS X El Capitan application that will copy the installation files to the USB drive.

This process takes about 15 minutes. Go out for a quick run, or a hamburger, or both. When you come back, it should have finished.

Installing a Bootloader

If you tried to boot from the USB drive as is after the previous step on a PC, it wouldn't work. We need a bootloader that makes it possible to boot OS X on x86 and x86_64 PCs.

There are 3 popular bootloaders to choose from.

  • Clover
  • Chameleon
  • Chimera

I went with Clover as it seems to be the most popular choice among other El Capitan installers, mostly for the following reasons:

Clover is an open-source EFI-based bootloader created on Apr 4, 2011. It has a totally different approach from Chameleon and Chimera. It can emulate the EFI portion present on real Macs and boot the OS from there instead of using the regular legacy BIOS approach used by Chameleon and Chimera. For many, Clover is considered the next-gen bootloader and soon it will become the only choice since BIOS in being replaced by UEFI in every new motherboard. One big feature of Clover is that iMessage, iCloud, the Mac App Store works along with Find My Mac, Back To My Mac and FileVault since Clover can use the EFI partition. (Read more)

Install Clover on Your USB Drive

Installing Clover on your USB drive is relatively easy. It involves running an installation wizard and selecting some options.

Download the latest Clover installer from here.

  1. Run the installer.
  2. Click Continue twice.
  3. Click Change Install Location and set it to your formatted USB drive.
  4. Click Customize and check the following options:
    • [x] Install for UEFI booting only
    • [x] Install Clover in the ESP
    • [ ] Drivers64UEFI
      • [x] OsxAptioFixDrv-64 - fixes memory map created by AMI Aptio EFI. Booting OS X is impossible otherwise.
  1. Click Install and wait for the installation to finish. It shouldn't take more than a minute.
Copy Essential Kexts to the USB Drive

Next, we'll need to copy some kexts (kernal extensions, similar to drivers on Windows) to the USB drive.

  • FakeSMC.kext - open source SMC device driver/emulator developed by netkas. Tricks OS X into thinking it's installed on Apple hardware. Absolutely required for Hackintosh installation.
  • NullCPUPowerManagement.kext - disables AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext which may cause kernel panics when you try to boot from the USB drive. It's optional, copy it only if you get an AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement-related kernel panic.
  • ApplePS2Controller.kext and AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext - adds support for PS2 devices (such as PS2 keyboard/mouse). They're optional, copy them only if you still use PS2 devices.
Free

Download these files from here and copy them to the EFI mounted volume at /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.11/.

Now that the installation USB drive is ready, let's install OS X El Capitan!

Boot from the USB Drive

Mac Os X El Capitan Free Download

Restart your computer and boot from the USB drive (Press Esc/F8/Del to access the boot selection menu).

Use the arrow keys to select Boot OS X Install from Install OS X El Capitan (It should be selected by default). Press the spacebar and select Boot Mac OS X in verbose mode. Verbose mode means that you'll be able to see exactly what's going on under the hood as OS X attempts to boot up its installer. You'll be able to see the exact error message if booting fails.

Press Enter and cross your fingers. Clover will now boot the installer from your USB drive. This could take some time, in my case, it takes around 5 minutes (Don't worry -- the startup time is around 5 seconds after installing on an SSD).

Did it fail?

It's more than likely that the boot will fail. Don't panic (ha-ha), as kernel panics usually mean that you forgot to copy an essential kext to the EFI partition. Look up the exact error you're getting before the boot log comes to an end and search Google for a solution.

Once you find an additional kext that your system needs, you'd attempt to copy it to the EFI volume, only to discover that it's gone! Not to worry, it's just unmounted and hidden. Follow this guide to mount the hidden partition, and then, follow the Copy Essential Kexts section above to copy it to the USB drive's EFI partition.

Format the Target Hard Drive

Once the installation wizard boots, the next step is to prepare the hard drive that you want to install OS X on.

Mac Os X El Capitan Free Download

Click Continue, followed by Disk Utility.

Select the target drive to install to (not the USB drive!) and click the Erase button. Make sure to back up anything important on that drive, as it will be deleted forever.

  1. Set the Name to El Capitan.
  2. Set the Format to OS X Extended (Journaled).
  3. Set the Scheme to GUID Partition Map.

Click Erase to format the drive.

Install OS X to the Target Drive

Exit the Disk Utility and click Install OS X.

Click Show All Disks and select the drive you just formatted to install OS X on it. Finally, click Install.

The process takes about 25 minutes. Be patient. For me, it hung at the end ('1 second remaining') for around 5 minutes. Don't be tempted to reset or cancel the installation.

When that's done, the system will reboot. Make sure to boot from the USB device again, and select Boot OS X Install from Install OS X El Capitan once again, in verbose mode. The installation is a two-part process that continues once you re-boot into the USB drive.

Os X 10.11 El Capitan Free Download

Finally, after about 25 more minutes, OS X El Capitan should be successfully installed on the target drive.

Boot into El Capitan via the USB Device

After the second reboot, boot from the USB device once again, but this time, select Boot OS X from El Capitan, and select verbose mode.

Os X El Capitan 10.13.6 Download Free Download

Press Enter and cross your fingers again. If all goes well, you'll be presented with the setup wizard:

Take a minute to set up your new Hackintosh. Once you're done, there are a few things you need to do to finish off the installation.

Reinstall Clover on the Hackintosh Drive

In the previous step, we used Clover on our USB drive to boot our Hackintosh. This is fine, but most of us aren't going to keep that USB drive plugged in forever. Let's make it possible to boot El Capitan independently by reinstalling Clover on it.

Go back up to the Install Clover on Your USB Drive section and follow the steps again, but this time, select your El Capitan volume instead of the USB drive.

Once again, copy the essential kexts to the EFI partition that shows up after installing Clover.

Finally, make sure to add Clover EFI boot options which is possible by pressing Clover Boot Options in the Clover boot window (if there are 2 boot options -- find the one for your SATA drive). I literally spent 3 hours figuring out why Clover would not boot when I disconnected the USB drive before I figured out that I need to manually add the EFI boot options.

Now you'll be able to boot directly from the El Capitan hard drive, as it should be!

Audio and Networking

If you're lucky, audio and networking will work right out of the box. If not, you're on your own from here. You'll need to research your exact hardware (by using System Information in Applications/Utilities) and searching Google to find the right kext or installer to make it work on El Capitan.

Clover Themes

The default Clover theme is pretty ugly (no offense). Check out this theme database to improve Clover's appearance.
