If simple virtualbox is not enough, there are plenty of guides online. search for y500 maverick, y510p maverick, y510p yosemite etc etc

You have to make bootable usb OS X (so you have to have some os x working) then istall osx and do some post installation work. I am not sure if I can post link to other forum so search for y510p yosemite and do everything but with lion distribution.

I hackintoshed my y510p and it went over pretty well . Only the wifi and the brightness dont work. Surprisingly, the intel bluetooth chip does actually work so you can always tether to a phone in a pinch!

well, this is quite an outdated thread, I have no luck with this notebook. Managed to install 10.14 Mojave, spent a whole month trying different methods, but it is impossible to make 750m work, I can only boot in vesa mode and that's all

I am trying to install mojave into this laptop y400, which is similar to y500 but running on GTX 650M with bootloader from latest clover. but I encountered kernel panic as shown in the attached picture.

 

I realized mojave doesnt support Nvidia, my best bet is high sierra, but this is installation boot up that is failed. so i heard that optimus is an issues for this laptop, but there is no disable internal intel GFX in the bios option, so i presumed the Nvidia would load just fine, with nv_disable=1, I tried other build of macOS build bootable USB (by changing the config.plist), it restart itself with the screen turn black and high spinning cpu fan.

 

so I don't know if anyone already got this laptop succesfully running hackintosh?

thanks.

do you mind to share your config.plist? I have no luck with mojave or any other macOS, it always reboot itself into black screen with high cpu spinning fan or turn into kernel panic. thanks
