To do this, you will need a compatible non-apple PC, as well as access to a Mac computer. A Hackintosh is the popular term for installing Mac OS X onto a non-Apple device such as a normal PC. The OS will work much the same as on an Apple but within a virtual machine.
Most of the people in the world have Windows based machine. I also have the same. I am using Windows for about 15 years and I got bored with the same.
Then I thought of using Mac but those are pretty expensive out here. So I was thinking if we can install Windows on any custom build hardware then why can't OS X? Then I searched about it on internet a lot and I do found a way to do same too but problem is that all the guides of installing OS X on PC are done with the help of Mac. So if I had Mac then why would install it on anything other.
I have gathered information from various guides and tutorials at internet and prepared an easy and simple method to install OS X on Windows PC without the help of Mac. So follow the guide below if you want to create a hackintosh system.
Note: All the processes can even damage your hardware so be careful and do it on your own risk. Installing Mac OS X on other hardware is against company's policy unless you bought a retail DVD for the same.
Requirements
Before we start installing OS X in your PC you need following stuff without which it is impossible to do so.
