Got back at Hackintoshing

So a while ago, I wiped my drive clean and went back to a windows 10 only system.

Now that I have had some free time on my hands I figured why not use the spare SSD I had floating around and hackintosh it.

The first time I hackintoshed it didn't go that fluent. I didn't know what I was doing... eg; When I had no audio, I figured, just install all kexts that have something to do with audio sure one of them should work.. Well it messed up my install and it just was a bad experience.

So today I gave it another shot, and I installed El Capitan (Yes, I know sierra is also hackintoshable but my dads old iMac can't download sierra from the app store) the installation went like freaking breeze. I followed the tonymacx guide and after that installed the needed drivers. And installed the following kexts to get audio working.

In under 3 hours I went from an empty drive, to a fully working El Capitan setup!

I made this post to motivate other people whom like me may have had a bad first experience. Just give it some time, don't use this hackintosh as your daily driver (At least not at first.) and play around with it a little bit.
