macOS-t460

A kit to install macOS on the ThinkPad T460 (Powered by OpenCore)

How to install it?

Requirements

An USB flash drive of 1gb minimum. (this is because we will download the 600MB recovery environment and not the full 16gb macOS image)
Lenovo ThinkPad T460 (since this kit is made for that laptop)

Note

I'm not responsable of any damage made to your computer by installing macOS on it.

1 : Format the USB

Open Rufus and select these options :

Boot selection : Not bootable
Filesystem : Large FAT32

2 : Download the macOS Kit

When downloaded, extract it into your USB flash drive.

2.5 : Download the macOS recovery environment

I recommend following this guide by Dortania.

3 : Restart your laptop

While on the BIOS screen (a Lenovo logo with the "To interrupt normal startup, press Enter" text) and spam the F12 key. This will get you into the boot menu.

Now, select the USB flash drive. (should appear as "USB HDD: <your usb flash drive's model>")

This should spawn the OpenCore boot menu. (a Mac-like boot nenu)

Select the orange drive (it should be named with the name of your FAT32 partition).

Then, the Apple logo should show.

4 : Format your internal hard drive to APFS

When on the "macOS Recovery" screen, select Disk Utility.

On the new window, select your biggest partition of your internal drive (the one where Linux or Windows is installed) & format it to APFS (Apple File System)

Then, close the Disk Utility

5 : Connect your laptop to the WI-FI

This is required for downloading macOS.

5.5 : Install macOS

Select "Reinstall macOS". It should spawn a new window with the OS's name & icon (example: "macOS Ventura*).

Select Next and accept the license.

Finally, select your internal hard drive and click on Install.

6 : Setup your "MacBook Pro"

Set it up like any other Mac on Earth.

7 : Install the bootloader

Now, we installed macOS, but we still need our USB stick to boot it...
