Can i install catalina (hackintosh)

[Rocky kavi]

Hey bro, 

I have asus i5-2450 @2.50ghz

8gb ram  with

Nvidia  geforece 610m 2gb and

Intel graphics 3000  (laptop) 

I want to install catalina macos 

Will it be supported?

Thank you

Please, no "bro" here, it's considered disrespectful. No support for distros here either so if that's the path you choose, I invite you to seek assistance elsewhere (the one you mentioned has its own forum after all).

 

Before you even contemplate engaging on this Hackintosh road, please note that:

• GeForce G610M is based on Fermi GF119 and would not be properly supported beyond El Capitan (if supported at all given you're using a dual-GPU laptop and that Optimus is not supported on Hackintosh)
• HD3000 graphics has no support beyond High Sierra 10.13; it's not compatible with Metal and was therefore dropped in Mojave (there are tricks to run HD3000 in Mojave/Catalina with OpenGL graphics acceleration only but it's increasingly difficult and complex to support and not bug free; I discourage it).

 

So, if you want to run macOS, I recommend that you:

• proceed with a vanilla-only installation
• call on a dedicated SSDT table to disable your nVidia dGPU and save battery
• stick to High Sierra, it'll run perfectly or so, HD3000 being a little buggy at times in macOS

Good luck.
