There's no harm in Googling your particular model and seeing if there are compatible settings, but the more viable solution would be to run through them one by one starting with OsxAptioFix3Drv, OsxAptioFixDrv, then AptioMemoryFix. More than likely there may already be a solution for your particular laptop, desktop, or motherboard.

Other times I would select my boot drive to install MacOS, then get a memory error right away.

Yet later on it didn't work again, but the OsxAptioFix3Drv driver did work! What would happen is I would boot to the flash drive, see the options for loading, select my boot drive, see a bunch of text appear on the screen and scroll quickly (known as verbose mode, totally normal), but it would reboot instead of stopping showing me where the error was.

Somehow when I tried the OsxAptioFixDrv driver instead, that got me through to the MacOS screen where I could then install MacOS to my test hard drive. My i5 section had a OsxAptoFix3Drv driver, but when I installed it to the booting flash drive using one method, I was getting memory issues when attempting to select my flash drive after booting. When rewriting the book I was using my i5 Hackintosh on the Windows side to start from scratch, but using the kext and driver folders from the Hackintosh side as a starting point. ROADBLOCK! The section for Memory fixes is tricky. I'll also cover preventative measures for protecting files so you'll have a working backup if things go wrong.

The vanilla install also results in a few slimmer files compared to somewhat bloated files from the website. While the vanilla process is more involved than the techniques used in previous version of my eBook, it's also more open to learning how things work and gives the builder more control over their hardware and software. The majority of this info was taken from the Hackintosh Vanilla Desktop Guide and was crucial in getting my previous systems working much better than before.

The steps to create a bootable installer using Clover on a Windows computer are different than that on a Mac computer, but if you've come to this page you already have a Mac and want to stick to the familiar OS you know, or use Windows and may just want to get a preview on how MacOS looks and feels.
