πŸ› οΈ Post Install (Recommended)

After installing macOS, it's recommended to adjust certain settings for optimal performance:

  • iGPU Memory: Increase the iGPU memory allocation in your BIOS settings to at least 1GB. For better performance with demanding applications, consider setting it to 2GB.
  • YogaSMC app: Get more control over your system, Fan Control, Backlight,
βš™οΈ BIOS Settings (Mandatory)

To ensure your Hackintosh functions correctly, configure the following mandatory BIOS settings:

Config Tab:

  • Display
    • Boot Display Device -> Thinkpad LCD

Security Tab:

  • Memory Protection -> Execution Prevention -> On
  • Secure Boot -> Off

These settings are crucial for the proper operation of your Hackintosh system.

πŸ”‘ Important Information

Please note that individual results may vary. The configurations and performance can differ based on your hardware and software environments. Specifically, I have replaced my trackpad with a glass replacement, which may not be the case for your setup. This could lead to differences in trackpad issues and performance. Use this guide as a starting point and tailor the solutions to fit your specific needs.
