Note: This process is taken from various sources from the google search. I don?t reserve the right of procedure nor I guarantee that it will work in your system. Also, Mac should only be installed in Apple computer as pointed by Apple Inc and this is not the legal way to use MacOS. I only recommend this to people who want to have taste and feel of Mac before actually purchasing one.
Before we start going for installation, download the following items and save it in a folder.
