## What it is
An OpenCore bootloader configuration project for running macOS as a guest on Windows Hyper-V, built with the OCE-Build manager and the MacHyperVSupport package. It provides preconfigured EFI/kext setups supporting macOS versions from 10.4 through recent releases on Intel and AMD hardware.

## Use cases
- run macOS in a Hyper-V VM on Windows
- set up a hackintosh virtual machine with OpenCore
- boot macOS Sequoia or Sonoma on Hyper-V
- configure OpenCore EFI for AMD or Intel CPUs in Hyper-V
- test macOS software on Windows without Apple hardware

## When to choose
- you want to virtualize macOS on Windows Hyper-V specifically
- you need a maintained OpenCore config with broad macOS version support
- you want a reproducible, build-managed EFI configuration

## When to avoid
- you want to run macOS on bare-metal hackintosh hardware
- you use VMware, VirtualBox, or QEMU instead of Hyper-V
- you need GPU acceleration or full macOS performance in a VM
- you need legal certainty about Apple's macOS licensing on non-Apple hardware

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: active
- function: configuration-management, build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: apple-ecosystem, windows, operating-systems, hardware
- platform: windows, cross-platform
- tags: hackintosh, opencore, hyper-v, macos-virtualization, efi, kexts, oce-build, virtualization
