## Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3rd Gen Hackintosh Guide
Getting Started
To start you'll need the following:
You must have the following items:
- Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3rd Gen (Obviously 😁).
- Access to a working Windows machine with Python installed.
- A pendrive with more than 4 GB (Keep in mind, during the preperation we will format the disk to create the install media).
- an Internet connection via Ethernet.
- 1-2 hours of your time.
Creating the USB Installer
1. To grab legacy installers is super easy, first grab a copy of [OpenCorePkg](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases) and head to /Utilities/macrecovery/. Next copy the folder path for the macrecovery folder.
#
2. From here, you'll want to open up a Command Prompt and cd into the macrecovery folder that we copied earlier:
```cd Paste_Folder_Path```
#
3. Now run one of the following depending on what version of macOS you want(Note these scripts rely on [Python](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/python-39/9p7qfqmjrfp7?activetab=pivot:overviewtab) support, please install if you haven't already):
```
# Monterey (12)
python macrecovery.py -b Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 -m 00000000000000000 download
```
This will take some time, however once you're finished you should get either BaseSystem or RecoveryImage files:
 
#
4. Download [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/en/), set the BOOT selection as not bootable, set File System as Large FAT32, click Start, and delete all file autorun in USB Drive partition.
#
5. Next, go to the root of this USB drive and create a folder called com.apple.recovery.boot. Then move the downloaded BaseSystem or RecoveryImage files. Please ensure you copy over both the .dmg and .chunklist files to this folder:
#
6. Open up and extract the EFI folder archive you downloaded earlier.
7. Copy the folder named, "EFI," to the root of your USB Drive.
8. Restart your computer.
Installing macOS
1. Open the BIOS and disable all the security options. (Security Chip, Intel (R) AT Module Activation, and Computrace Module)
2. Boot via your Flash Drive.
11. Boot the macOS installer.
12. Now open Disk Utility and format your internal or external Hard Drive or SSD as APFS.
13. Follow the on-screen prompts and install macOS.
14. Your system might reboot during the installation.
15. Now after install again boot into your usb drive and then select the drive that you installed macOS on.
16. Now copy the EFI Folder to the EFI Partition and overwrite it with the one system created.
17. Now try booting macOS without the USB drive.
18. Congratulations, you've successfully hackintoshed your Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3rd Gen.
