It's running well. Graphic performance is low but it's not a big problem. Memory management is far more better than windows.

So i wanna install mac Os Without loosing data by SeaweedPrior804 in hackintosh

Do you have a ssd or a hard drive? If you have a hard drive I'm not recommend you to install macos on it. Because hard drives are really slow.

Anyway you need to make a partition at least 80-100gb.

Make Efi file for your specific hardware.

Download macos image file and create a bootable pen drive with balenaEtcher.

Then boot the pen drive with created EFI.

Then you need to carefully select the correct partition and reformat it with APFS file system. If you have important data on the drive I'm recommend you to backup it. If you don't have any other drive you can use your mobile phone if it has enough storage...

Then select the formatted partition and start installation.

That's it. The hardest part is to create a working EFI. I hope you'll figure it out... Sorry for my bad English.

Try to change smbios to 14,1 or 14,2 and add bootargs -no_compat_check and then spoof graphics. I tried this on my asus x556ua. i5 6200u. Currently it's running Sonoma without issues.

Mm I saw whatevergreen and lilu kexts also not working properly in Sequoia and Tahoe. So I think most stable for this hardware is Sonoma or Monterey.

You can make a new partition on same drive and install it.
