Video Description

In this video, I will go through the process in preparing and installing macOS Sequoia on a Windows-PC. This will be done a Dell OptiPlex 5070, mainly using Dortonia's OpenCore guide. Once we maanged to install Apple macOS, we will do some post-installation steps, followed by some benchmarks to compare the performance with Windows.
