Successful Ventura Hackintosh on Lenovo T480

​

Windows running on my T480

MacOS running on my T480

Successful Ventura 13.6.5 installation on a Lenovo T480. This is my first hackintosh and thankfully it was relatively easy (at least to get macOS installed and running) thanks to the plethora of help online about hackintoshing the T480.

MultiBoot: I was able to successfully multiboot MacOS and Windows 11 by installing Windows 11 first, and then making an NTFS partition that would have the designated space for my MacOS partition. Then I booted into my USB installer and wiped the NTFS partition I just made and installed macOS onto it. There are a few more steps you have to do after that so I would recommend watching this youtube video about how to do it. By default my laptop boots into Windows since I have Windows Boot Manager at the top of my boot order and when I want to boot into MacOS I just select to boot from my drive instead.
