Hello,


I am planning to build a Hackintosh on my system, and I would like to ask for your advice, especially about whether I can install macOS Sequoia and use it for iOS app development. My goal is to have a dual boot setup with Windows + macOS.


My device model:


  • Acer AN515-51-78ML

My system specs:


  • CPU: Intel Core i7-7700HQ @ 2.80 GHz
  • RAM: 32 GB
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 (4 GB)
  • Storage: 2.77 TB

Here are the things I would like to know:


  • Is it possible to install macOS Sequoia on this system?
  • Will I have issues with the NVIDIA GTX 1050 regarding display output, graphics acceleration, or general usability?
  • Can Xcode run stably enough for iOS app development?
  • What should I pay special attention to when setting up Windows + Hackintosh dual boot?
  • Do you have any recommendations regarding BIOS settings, disk partitioning, OpenCore configuration, or SMBIOS selection?
  • Since this is a laptop, am I likely to face issues with touchpad, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, or battery indicator?

I want to make sure the setup is as stable as possible, especially for iOS development. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance.
