# macOS on HP Z640 (Haswell-E)

OpenCore-based EFI for HP Z640 (Haswell-E)
<img align="right" src="./Docs/HP-Z640.png" alt="HP Z640" width="460">

**Status: Fully Working | Stable | Daily driver**

[![macOS](https://img.shields.io/badge/macOS-Sonoma-green.svg)](https://www.apple.com/macos/sonoma/)
[![Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/14.5-green.svg)](https://support.apple.com/en-us/109035#macos145)
[![OpenCore](https://img.shields.io/badge/OpenCore-1.0.0-blue.svg)](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/tag/1.0.0)
[![Model](https://img.shields.io/badge/Model-Z640-grey)](https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04496994)

This project was created from scratch using the [Dortania](https://dortania.github.io/getting-started/) guide specifically for the HP Z640, but should work on the Z440 and Z480 with a few [adjustments](https://github.com/HJebbour/Z640-Hackintosh/tree/main#pre-installation).

**DISCLAIMER:**
As you embark on your Hackintosh journey you are encouraged to **READ** the entire README and [Dortania](https://dortania.github.io/getting-started/) guides before you start.

This Z640 Hackintosh project aims to be an all-in-one maintained hub for Opencore-based hackintoshes on the HP Zx40 family. In short, this Z640-Hackintosh is very stable and is currently my daily driver. I fully recommend this project to anyone looking for an old Mac Pro alternative.

This OpenCore-EFI should work as is with macOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma and Sequoia (DP1).

You can find a wealth of knowledge on [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/), [TonyMacX86](https://www.tonymacx86.com) or [Google](https://www.google.com).

**Important:** In order to upgrade to macOS 14.4+ the value of `Misc -> Security -> SecureBootModel` must be set to `Disabled` in config.plist until the upgrade completely finishes.

Should you find an error, or improve anything, be it in the config itself or in the my documentation, please consider opening an issue or a pull request to contribute.

**I am not responsible for any damages you may cause.**

## Introduction

<details> 
<summary>THIS IS NOT A GUIDE!</summary>

This is not a guide. It shoud only be used as a reference. I provide some tips and tricks I learned on my journey in building a hackintosh. The best way of using this is as a supplement to the OpenCore guide. If you have questions about how to setup your specific hardware, are unclear about what to do, or would like to see the settings I've used.

I understand that some may simply add the OC and Boot folders to their EFI folder. For clarity the EFI partition needs a folder called EFI that contains the Boot and OC folder.

```EFI
EFI (drive)
	EFI
	├── BOOT
	├── OC
```

It should work and your HP Z640 should boot and work fine. **You will at minimum need to generate SMBIOS values if you want Apple services to work.** Note that all error reporting/logging has been turned off in the config.plist. You will have a difficult time trouble shooting with the setup provided. You can easily turn on the error reporting and logging if you follow the Dortania guide. Best of luck.

> **NOTE** if you simply wish to copy my EFI please do the following:
>
>1. [Generate SMBIOS values](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config-laptop.plist/coffee-lake-plus.html#nvram) and add them in the config.plist (Use MacPro7,1 or iMacPro1,1)
>2. Ensure the value of `showpicker` is  `true` in the config.plist file to provide the opencore menu when booting. 
>3. Prepare your install [USB](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/)
>4. Move the entire EFI folder (with your modifications) to the proper partition on your [USB](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/mac-install.html#setting-up-opencore-s-efi-environment) (or [SSD](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/oc2hdd.html) once the install is complete).
>5. [Install](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installation/installation-process.html#double-checking-your-work) - You'll need to select Escape to get the boot menu options and **boot from the USB each time the computer restarts** until you've copied the EFI folder onto the hard drive. You may also need to select the correct boot option during install.

## Post-Installation

<details><summary>OpenCore Installation</summary>

1. Move the entire EFI folder from the prepared USB (with your modifications) to the EFI partition on your hard drive or SSD.
2. If you have a Broadcom wireless card (Wi-Fi & Bluetooth) use the [OpenCore Legacy Patcher](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases). The EFI folder is already prepared for OCLP.
