balag59 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hi, I have a HP Spectre x360 from 2015 and here are my specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-5500U GPU: Integrated Intel HD 5500 Resolution: 1920x1080 1.I couldn't find any thread or guide for my particular laptop so I was wondering as to which would be the best guide to follow to install Mojave on this laptop. I'm currently thinking of following RehabMan's guide on booting the OSX installer on Laptops with Clover. If you feel that there might a different guide more suitable, please do let me know. 2. Before I wipe my hard disk and install it on that, is there any way to check if it would work on my system by running the OS from USB maybe like Linux allows you to do? Or would it be possible to install and run it on a different high storage USB maybe? I already have Windows running on my laptop and would love to confirm that it works before I wipe it clean. 3. Would it be possible to retain my current Windows installation by creating a partition and installing MacOS on that? 4.Also, if anyone has had success with this particular laptop or something very similar and have any specific advice (maybe kexts that the normal guide might not talk about) then that would be great too! 5.This is my first time here and attempting a hackintosh so I welcome any comments, especially if I'm missing anything in this post. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyroskor Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 My wife has the same exact laptop. I have built Hakcintoshes for Desktop and laptops (homebuilt PC, Sony Vaio SVS13, Fujitsu-Siemens amilo and ASUS EeePC) for years, but I have not managed to install Mojave (I even tried Sierra) on HP Spectre x360 2015. The best I was able to do is to reach to the screen for language selection and then it gets stuck there forever. Now, about your questions 1) I have not found ny guide for this particular model. I have found for 2016 and later model but it doesn't help because they have different GPU and that means different kexts and patches in the config.plist 2) Yes you can test the installation from an external USB disk 3) No. macOS must be on the first partition of the disk. You must create 2 partitions, the first for macOS and the second for Windows, but it's better to use 2 different disks, which is not possible on Spectre. In my case (Sony Vaio) I was lucky because it had a DVD writer. So I took it out, found a caddy that goes in the same place which takes a disk inside and so I kept the original Windows disk and installed macOS on the new disk. 4) There are guides for Spectre x360 2016/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
