How To Run Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.x On A Microsoft SurfacBook
WARNING: If you plan on running EL Capitan or Sierra do not install any BIOS or UEFI Updates as these patch the ability to use stolen memory which is required for running Mac OS X using Clover Bootloader it may be possible to patch memory on newer UEFI but I am unaware of how to do so
Mac OS X loader bar Will Not Show Up
If on newer UEFI version you must use OpenCore and target macOS Big Sur or Monterey
Last Known Working Version
Surface UEFI 90.137 “approx”
Latest Version 92.3748.768
Having Windows Version H2H2 will update BIOS just having it installed as during first boot it will pull update files using the windows boot manager
Advanced: BIOS on Surface UEFI v90 stores a second copy of EFI partition In The Motherboard But It Isn’t Accessible to make small changes. This Was Confirmed After Installing a Blank SSD Clover Still Booted This did not happen on UEFI v92
This Guide Will Also Cover macOS Sierra 10.12.x
Specs Of Device Used
Microsoft SurfaceBook 1 2015
Intel HD Graphics 520
Intel i5 6300U Processor
128GB SSD 8GB Ram
What You Will Need (Links Below)
USB Drive With 8GB or Storage (16GB Recommended)
Unibeast, Or TINU or Mac OS X Terminal - To Make Bootable USB
Clover EFI Bootloader - To Install Bootloader (This Tutorial Requires v2.4 r4988 Although Others May Work) v5070 Has Been Tested to Work but during earlier testing presented some errors
I recommend getting it working with r4988 making a backup and then updating to r5070
Install Mac OS X El Capitan.app Or Install macOS Sierra.app Downloaded From App Store or Google
A Mac OS X Virtual Machine Running 10.7 Or Above Or A Real Mac Computer
Kexts And Drivers Required To Boot - I Will Also Include My EFI Folder
External Keyboard And Mouse (Optional) - If Using My EFI Folder
EaseUS Partition Manger (Paid) - Only Use If You Cannot Use Windows Computer Management
What Works
Keyboard - Backlight and Speaker Shortcuts Work
Trackpad - No Gestures; Although You Can Still Click And Drag
Audio - Speakers Work , Haven’t Tested Headphone Jack
Microphone Works
Intel HD 520 Graphics - 1536MB Video Ram
Internal SSD - Possible To Dual Boot Windows
What Doesn’t Work
TouchScreen - No Response Whatsoever
Fron/Rear Camera - Does Not Work In FaceTime - Shows Not Installed
Bluetooth - Although A USB “dongle” Should Work
Wi-Fi - A USB “dongle” like Edimax Or Such Should Work
Things To Note
Do Not Create Partition In Mac OS X If You Plan On Dual Booting Windows You Cannot Use Boot Camp In Hackintosh Environment This May Lead To Data Loss You Must Create Partition In Windows Environment And Format Later
If You Are Using A Device With VERY Low Internal Storage The Absolute Minimum Required To Install Mac OS X And Run On It’s Own Is 12GB You Will Not Have Any More “Usuable” Storage Left For Apps And They Will Need To Be Stored Externally (Not Recommended)
You Need OsxLowMemFix And VBoxHFS(Not Included In Clover) Drivers One Will Allow Boot Process To Start. One Allows You To Actually See Your External HFS Formatted USB Flash Drives/SD Cards In Order To Even Start Installer
Before Clicking Installer Partition In Clover Bootloader; You Must Change Graphics ID To 12345678 This Can Be Left Alone Once El Capitan Is Installed - Will Cause Installer To Not Boot
It It Recommended To Hit The Spacebar Over Installer Partition And Disable Reboot After Kernal Panic And Enable Verbose Boot This Will Allow You To Diagnose Any Errors That Occur During Boot
Before You Start The Installation It Is Important To Note As It’s 2020 And El Capitan Is 5 Years Old September 30, 2015 If You Start The Installer Before Changing The Date To Somewhere Around 2017 Whether You Have The Correct Date Set Or Your Computer Is Set To The Year 2001 You Must Change It The The Year 2016 - Will Cause Installation To Fail Approx 1 Min Into Install; Error Given, No Packages Are Elible For Install And Will Prompt A Restart
Terminal Command
El Capitan
date 0612122316 This Will Change Date To June 12, 2016 12:23PM
Sierra 0112122317 This Will Change Date Jan 12, 2017 12:23PM
If Using Dark Status Bar And Dock Theme You Must Change Display Profile To sRGB Or You Will Not Be Anle To See Text In Top Left Corner And Some Places In Some Apps
It Is Recommended To Install Kexts Provided As Soon As Possible As You Will Not Have Any Graphics Drivers; CPU Temps, And Battery Usage Will Be High As Well

How To Run Windows 95 On iOS Using DOS 2, PowerDOS
This Guide Will Show You How To Install And Run Windows 95 In iDOS 2, PowerDOS, DOSPAD, Or DOSBox; This Guide Will Be Based On The Mobile Versions Of DOS That Can Be Found In The Apple App Store, And Google Play Store. This Will Work On Desktop Computers But The Process Is Slighty Different (Tutorials Coming Soon For That).
This Guide is constantly being updated. New information or changes to this blog may occur at any time. Please check back frequently for the updates. These guides take a lot of research, time, and development to produce.
How To Get Windows 95 To Run On iOS Using DOS [Jailbreak] On Device Tutorial
Link To YouTube Video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwH5gspNODw
Step 1. Download The App
Note* If Downloading PowerDOS you will mount Drives in the D;/ Drive
Note* If ‘downloading I iDOS 2, iDOS, or DOSPAD you will mount Drives in the C:/ Drive
Step 2. Remove [autoexec] from App Config File (Requires Filza, iFile)
Note* This will stop the App from Auto Executing the PLAY.BAT Command File At Startup And allow you Mount and Drive or Run any Command; instead of playing the Preinstalled Games, and Software.
Note* If You would like to enter this menu manually (PLAY.BAT) Simply relaunch the app and type “play” and hit enter.
Step 3. Download the Windows 95 .img Image File (Google Search = win95.img download)
Note* I cannot Provide this File for Copyright Reasons but there are other sites that do
Step 4. Create a Batch File .bat (Optional)
Note* Makes it possible to run Windows 95 or Run any Command simply by typing the name of the Batch File
Note* Because we are working with DOS Filenames CANNOT be longer than 8 Characters not including the File Extension Type. For example...racecamp.exe, If you do create a File Longer than 8 Characters you may not be able to type what DOS has shortened it to.
Note* in DOS All Filenames will appear all caps but in the Operating System (Windows 95) retain real filenames.
Note* They are not case sensitive when it comes to executing .exe’s or launching Folders but is Case sensitive when running Commands in DOS. For example in Windows 95 Racecamp.exe would appear in DOS like RACECAMP.EXE
Note* You Can make a copy of the PLAY.BAT file and rename it to WINDOWS.BAT niether has to be all caps. That’s just wha DOS will Display them as.
I have included a .zip Folder on my Google Drive with a bunch of pre-made Batch (.bat) Files that are essentially One and Done; Keep in mind that if you are using PowerDOS or iDOS you must change the Drive it mounts from.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tmkZjZOdtTKe73TurEgU-P9j6Zs9ZkPK
These are pre-made for PowerDOS as PowerDOS works and looks better on iOS 11.x while iDOS 2 works best on iOS 10.x, 9.x, and older.
Step 5. Place Windows 95 .img Image File in the ‘apps’ Folder of the application in a Folder we will call ‘Win95’.
