Hervé 2,048 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Pretty sure the best you'll be able to run will be macOS High Sierra. CPU: no issue at all, your Sandy Bridge CPU can support all versions from Snow Leopard to current Catalina HD3000 iGPU: no support for HD3000 beyond High Sierra, at least officially although there are tricks to run this old iGPU in OpenGL-only mode in Mojave/Catalina. However, given that HD3000 tends to get buggy over time, it's probably best to stick to versions that natively support it. AMD Whistler (Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M) dGPU: there is no support for dual-GPU on Hackintosh laptops but if you can set the laptop to run on the dGPU only (through BIOS for instance), you may get this supported up to macOS High Sierra. There will be no support whatsoever in Mojave/Catalina. Audio: should be Ok with all versions once you identify the exact codec and apply the relevant config (i.e. correct layout-id with AppleALC kext). LAN: should be Ok with all versions with the appropriate Realtek LAN driver (the necessary kext is available). WLAN: Intel used to be totally unsupported but new developments brought support for some cards. Can't say if yours is in the list; if not, you'll have to replace it by a supported model. Disk: no issue whatsoever, just make sure disk mode is set to AHCI, not RAID, in BIOS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
