LEARN HOW TO INSTALL MACOS ON A PC
Before you
start, there are a few things you’ll need. Firstly, you’ll need a compatible
PC.
The general
rule is you’ll need a machine with a 64-bit Intel processor. You’ll also need a
separate hard drive on which to install macOS, one which has never had Windows
installed on it. If you want to run more than just the basic OS, you should
have at least 50GB of free space on the drive.
In order to
create the macOS installer, you’ll need a Mac on which to download it from the
App Store. Any Mac capable of running Sierra,
the latest version of macOS, will do. And if you're not sure if your Mac
is capable or not, check our guides to identifying your Mac or checking its specs.
Finally,
you’ll need a tool to create the installer, and a USB stick on which to put it.
Make sure its 8GB or bigger.
One of the
most popular installer creation tools is Unibeast. It’s a free Mac app
that creates an installer for macOS on a USB stick which is capable of being
installed on an Intel PC. You’ll need to register on tonymacx86.com to download it, but once you’ve done
that you’re ready to go.
How to
create the macOS installer and install on a PC
1. On your
Mac, go to the App Store, search for Sierra, and download it. When it’s
finished, it will automatically launch the installer. When it does this, press
Command-q to quit. Check that the installer is in your Applications folder.
2. Go to tonymacx86.com, register and download Unibeast. When it’s
downloaded, install it as you would any other app.
3. Plug in
the USB drive on which you want to install macOS and launch Disk Utility. Click
on the Partition tab and leave the partition setting at one partition occupying
the fully capacity of the drive.
The
Partition should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Give the partition a name.
Click on options and make sure the partition scheme is set to ‘GUID Partition
Table.’ When you’re ready, click Apply to start formatting the
drive.
4. Launch
Unibeast and, in the first window, select the USB drive you just formatted as
the destination for the installer. Click Continue and step through the pages of
the app until you come to the one that asks you to choose the OS you want to
install. Click on Sierra.
5. On the
next page, you’ll be asked to choose between two boot modes, UEFI and Legacy.
In most cases, you should choose UEFI. The exceptions are PCs that have an
older motherboard that uses BIOS and not UEFI. If yours does, choose Legacy.
