Setting up a Hackintosh on Acer netbook

[szymunk]

Morning fellows,

I've heard that you can install MacOSX on any device, not essentially a macbook. I have an old netbook that I very rarely use so I thought that maybe I could try doing it on my own. First thing, am I even allowed to ask about this on forums? Another thing, does any of you use a Hackintosh on their netbooks/laptops/etc and could tell me if it works well? I mean, what about drivers, wifi and other stuff.*
The reason I thought about it was because I wanted to try out MacOSX before actually buying a Macbook (never had one).
I've been browsing the web for more infos the whole day but I couldn't find any in-depth guides how to do it properly.

Thanks in advance,
SIMON

I've installed Windows on a Mac before, but not the other way around. Sorry. Having said that, hopefully someone who has will provide you with some great tips soon. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your weekend...

Sorry, I have no idea about this. It's probably worth a Google if no one with more knowledge responds.

I have a hackintosh, I will try to help you. So first things first, you need a bottable OS X usb. (I installed El Capitan on my pc) So first I downloaded VirtualBox and Niresh Mavericks. I installed it on my virtual machine, then I downloaded "El Capitan" from the AppStore (took me a week, because slow internet in VirtualBox) and when it finished downloading I downloaded Unibeast and connected my usb to my virtual machine. Then I started making the bootable usb. I created a new NTFS partition in Windows (100 GB) then I downloaded Paragon NTFS-HFS converter program, and converted that 100GB partition to HFS. Then Rebooted my pc and booted from the pendrive and installed El Capitan. Then I downloaded MultiBeast and installed the clover bootloader. And right now I have Windows 10 and El Capitan on the same HDD.

And here's some tutorial videos:
