The PC you’re going to be using using needs to be an Intel dual core processor 64bit with at least 4GB of ram,  and at least 10GB free of HDD space.

1. First download VirtualBox, also download the extension pack.

2. Go to hackintosh.zone downloads page and download the Niresh Yosemite iso.zip. Once downloaded extract it and double click on the extracted file.

Additionally you would need BitTorrent client to download the 5 GB file. This process can take a while.

4. Then assign a name, make sure that Mac OS X (64 bit) is selected as follows:

5. Now assign some ram to the virtual machine, 2GB is the minimum that you can assign.

6. Create a “virtual hard drive” for the virtual machine. Virtualbox will ask you what type of drive you want to create just choose VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image), Dynamically allocated drive. Then assign more than 10GB to that hard drive.

7. Then select your newly created virtual machine and click Settings.

8. Once the settings open up, go to System and uncheck the “Enable EFI” box.

NOTE: For Haswell processor or for newer processor bought since 2013 you would need to trick VirtualBox into thinking that is an older model processor. To do this open the command prompt as admin

and type the following command:

cd “C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox”

Once in the VirtualBox directory enter the following command:

VBoxManage modifyvm “Name of virtual machine” –cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff

Replace “Name of virtual machine” with the name of your virtual machine as shown on the image underneath (no quotation marks). You can find the name of your VM in the left side of the Virtualbox main window.
