Here is the standard method used by the community to deploy the Top Olarila Big Sur image.
Instead of hunting Olarila's broken links, use this pre-made EFI folder that is 100% compatible with Big Sur on the above hardware:
It is important to note that macOS is licensed only for Apple hardware. Installing macOS Big Sur on a non-Apple PC via Olarila or any method violates Apple's EULA. The Olarila community does not condone piracy (you must download Big Sur from the App Store legitimately if you own a Mac to create the image; many Olarila images circumvent this).
Proceed at your own risk. This guide is for educational purposes regarding system architecture and bootloaders.
After booting the Olarila USB, if you see "Waiting for root device" or "Still waiting for..." — your USB port is not 2.0. Use a USB 2.0 flash drive in a USB 2.0 port (black plastic tab). Big Sur's installer is very picky.
If you need the direct download link for the Olarila Big Sur raw image (or a step-by-step USB creation guide), let me know and I'll provide it.
Installing macOS Big Sur using Olarila is a popular method for creating a "Vanilla" Hackintosh. This approach uses pre-made Olarila installer images and hardware-specific EFI folders to simplify the process for standard Windows PC hardware. 1. Core Requirements
Before starting, ensure you have the following hardware and software ready: USB Drive: Minimum 16GB.
Olarila Image: Download the specific macOS Big Sur DMG file from the Olarila Forums.
Flashing Tool: Use balenaEtcher to write the image to your USB.
EFI Folder: Download the EFI folder that matches your processor generation (e.g., Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Alder Lake) from the Olarila EFI Collection. 2. Creating the Bootable USB This process can be done on either Windows or macOS: macos big sur olarila top
Flash the Image: Open balenaEtcher, select your Olarila Big Sur DMG, select your USB drive, and click Flash. Mount the EFI Partition:
On Windows: Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to assign a drive letter to the EFI partition on the USB.
On macOS: Use Clover Configurator or OpenCore Configurator to mount the EFI partition.
Replace EFI Files: Use Explorer++ (on Windows, run as Administrator) to delete the existing EFI folder on the USB and replace it with the hardware-specific EFI folder you downloaded. 3. BIOS Configuration
Your PC's BIOS must be configured correctly for macOS to boot: SATA Mode: Set to AHCI. Secure Boot: Must be Disabled. Boot Mode: Set to UEFI. VT-d: Disable (if applicable). Fast Boot: Disable. 4. Installation Process
Boot from USB: Restart your PC and select the USB drive from the boot menu.
Reset NVRAM: In the bootloader (OpenCore or Clover), select the Reset NVRAM option first.
Format Target Drive: Open Disk Utility from the recovery menu. Select your target SSD/HDD, click Erase, and format it as APFS with a GUID Partition Map.
Install macOS: Close Disk Utility and select Install macOS Big Sur. The system will restart several times during this phase. 5. Post-Installation
Once the setup is complete, you must move the EFI folder to your internal drive so you can boot without the USB: Here is the standard method used by the
Mount the EFI partition of your internal drive and the USB drive using a tool like ESP Mount Pro or OpenCore Configurator.
Copy the EFI folder from the USB's EFI partition to the internal drive's EFI partition.
Drivers (Kexts): Update or add specific kexts for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or audio as needed for your specific hardware.

Before diving into the Olarila Top method, why aim for Big Sur (11.x) instead of Ventura or Sonoma?
Trying out macOS Big Sur (Olarila build) on PC/VM — prepatched image with kexts and bootloader tweaks for broader hardware support. Backup first, prepare a 16GB+ USB, disable Secure Boot, and follow the included EFI instructions. Not official Apple software; use at your own risk.
