Rzaaeeff Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi, everyone. I'm so sorry if it's not right place to ask this question. But i need answer immediately and as i know this is one of the biggest Hackintosh communities. I want to install Yosemite as a main OS. Please, tell me, if i can install it, and what i'll be able to use directly or with any additional driver. So, let's get started with the detailed information about my hardware: Name: HP Pavilion dv6 6c55sr CPU - Intel Core i7 2670QM @ 2.20GHz - Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology RAM - 8,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard - Hewlett-Packard 17FA (CPU1) Graphics - Generic PnP Monitor (1366x768@60Hz) - Intel HD Graphics 3000 (HP) Optical Drives - hp DVD-RAM UJ8B1 Audio - High Definition Audio Device - Beats Audio I once installed Mavericks, but couldn't use Wi-Fi, handle brightness. It seemed to drain all battery out in less than 1 hour. Network: Realtek PCIe GBE Family ControllerChip: Realtek Semiconductor RTL8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet AdapterQualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11b|g|n WiFi AdapterChip: Atheros Communications AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter Note: I'm big fan of Mac OS, but as a student i don't have money to get Macbook. So, please help me... Again, which devices will i be able to use directly, or with additional drivers? Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Sorry bro, but the only way is buy another card. The AR9285 is a good option, and works in Yosemite. Or you can buy a USB dondle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
