macOS Hackintosh on Hyper-V

This repository aims to provide support for macOS on Hyper-V

Archived as I no longer have a device capable of testing Hyper-V nor do I have the time to properly maintain this project. @Qonfused at https://github.com/Qonfused/OSX-Hyper-V has a project that supports autobuilding and is more actively maintained. I recommend using that project instead.

Credits

Thanks to @acidanthera for creating the software, kexts, and patches, required to even begin to make this possible. I take no credit for any of this development and only seek to make an easy to use method for getting macOS running on Hyper-V.
