Hi,
I want to turn my desktop computer into a Hackintosh - Windows for games & plex, MacOS for music production, programming and light video/photo editing. Doing a clean install of Windows 11.
Current setup:
- i5 10600K with artic freezer 34 esport duo CPU cooler.
- Asus Prime z490-P motherboard.
- 16GB ram - g.skill ripjaws 2x8.
- RX 570 4GB - PowerColor Red Dragon.
- TP-Link Archer T9E.
- I have two 250GB SSD's and two Barracuda 2TB 7200 rpm hdd's.
- 34" ultrawide monitor.
Things I plan on upgrading:
- Fractal Design Pop Air RGB or possibly another (but cheaper case).
- x2 KC3000 Kingston NVME 1TB M.2 SSD's.
I'll (any thoughts on this? not that good at understanding how to use drives most efficiently...)
- either use both M.2 for MacOS, one for OS, apps, project files & the second as a working drive for sound libraries and related content; One 250 GB SSD for Win 11, one barracuda for games, second barracuda for plex. Then last 250 GB SSD for a piece of standalone music gear I own for samples.
- or use one M.2 for MacOS for OS, apps, project files, some sound library content + both 250GB SSD's for additional sound library; Second M.2 for Win 11 with HDD's for plex and games.
Questions:
- Recommended MacOS version? Ventura or Sonoma?
- Will wi-fi work on Sonoma? If wifi won't work and I use an ethernet cable, will that work?
If it has an affect on advice, I'll mostly use the MacOS part of the build, probably 70% of the time.
Thanks!
