How to Fix New in the hackintosh space (using XPS 7590)
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Verify your network controller model (Intel, Broadcom, Realtek).
- Ensure the correct kext (e.g., AirportItlwm or BrcmPatchRAM) is loaded in your config.
- Clear network interfaces and reset NVRAM if changes don't apply.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
I saw some video's of a guy turning it's XPS 15 into a mac (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1-oq4Vr41U&t=223s) and I was quite impressed and figured what to expect if I would do it myself. First of all the specs of my XPS:
CPU: i7-9750H
RAM: 8GB
SSD: NVMe INTEL 512GB (SSDPEMKF512G8)
GPU: gtx 1650
WIFI: Killer(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX1650
display: 1080p
QUESTIONS:
1. Can I naively follow this tutorial (using a repo which is mad for XPS 7590) and expect it to work?
2. I do not expect the GPU to work, however would this by possible to achieve (given that I am new in the hackintosh space)?
3. If the GPU doesn't work can I disable it to gain some battery life?
4. If I dual-boot could the GPU be disabled for only MacOS and not for windows?
5. Do figures like iMassege, (wifi) or airdrop work?
6. Who could I update MacOS safely?
7. What are things I need to know before starting my journey?
I really want to try MacOS and if it is really better then windows. Thank you so much every one who can answer some of my questions to get into the hackintosh space.
