Lion

Amd A10 Hackintosh

To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs: iMac (Mid 2007-2020) MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) Is Mountain Lion free for Mac users? As with Lion, my experience has been that for the typical Mac user with a broadband connection, the process of purchasing, obtaining, and installing. This is how to install Mountain Lion version 10.8.5 on any unsupported Core 2 Duo Mac. This will also work on Core Duo/Solo Mac Minis and iMacs that have bee.

MacPostFactor v2.0
This version is huge! It features many improvements everywhere! Anyway, in this version, you'll find:

I know this is not a common scenario, but for the few people that upgraded a Mac originally equipped with a Core Duo processor to a Core 2 Duo processor, here is the procedure. I have an iMac version 4,1 that I upgraded years ago, and it worked. The person who found the solution had an upgraded Mac Mini. You will need a second computer that is Lion capable for this tip to work.
As always, Make sure you have a backup of the original install! This worked for me, but always be prepared for the worst.
I made, and used, a Lion Mac OS X Install ESD on a thumb drive. Instructions to make one can be found all over the Mac centric web sites. Then follow this procedure:
  • Put the unsupported Mac in Target Disk mode and plug it into a Lion supported Mac.
  • Run the Lion installer and make sure to choose your unsupported Mac's hard drive. Let the install finish.
  • Boot back into the supported Mac's OS, and put the unsupported Mac back to target disk mode.
  • Delete the PlatformSupport.plist at /System/Library/CoreServices on the unsupported Mac's hard drive.
  • Reboot the Unsupported Mac and it should boot into Lion normally.

Install Mac Os Mountain Lion

I don't have the equipment to try this, but it seems plausible. As recommended in the hint, have a complete system backup handy in case something goes awry.]
