OSx86 Project



OSx86 is a computer hacking project that allows users to run Mac OS X (and its successors, such as macOS) on standard Windows PCs by installing specially prepared software from a downloaded disk image file.

A non-Apple computer running Mac software from the OSx86 Project is referred to as a Hackintosh, replacing "Mac" with "Hack". Similarly configured notebooks are known as Hackbooks.

History
This project started soon after the 2005 Worldwide Developers Conference, when Steve Jobs announced Apple's transition to Intel processors.
