If your laptop or desktop is a full Intel support, then you are comfortable to go and install the missing drivers, but again you have to know about your system detail like audio supported for your system name and model to choose later on the tasks. Though you don’t know, so no problem search google for that, and one thing more I have to mention is, many parts of devices aren’t compatible with Mac OS, and you are unable to install the drivers for it and make that working. Like Lenovo z50-70 laptop’s wifi card is not supported and to use WiFi on the laptop, you need to buy WiFi card for that. Note: This particular guide is generally for all laptops and desktop. So there are many ways, I will cover here the most important that I can do for you guys. If you found something wrong or a better way to fix the issues, then please let others also acknowledge by the comment section below.
Installing & Fixing macOS Sierra Bootloader, Ethernet, Audio Problem & Post Installation of Hackintosh
There are many ways to fix such kind of problem for each laptop or desktop PC. Now follow the steps you like to fix your issue after installing macOS Sierra, like the most important is installing a bootloader to boot into macOS Sierra that installed on your PC without the USB installer by the disk itself.
#1. Post Installation with MultiBeast
MultiBeast is the ultimate post-installation tool for configuring Mac OS X whiter it’s El Capitan or Sierra on PC hardware. It is an all-in-one post-installation tool designed to enable boot from hard drive, and install support for Audio, Network, and Graphics. The good thing is that it has been updated to version 9.0.1 for macOS Sierra. You can download Multibeast from the link down below:

Step #1. Download and run Mulibeast from the links above then open it. Step #2. If it’s your first time installing a bootloader, then click Quick Start then choose your boot mode. UEFI Boot Mode is recommended for 7/8/9/100 Series laptops & desktops and all UEFI capable systems. Legacy Boot Mode is recommended for 5/6 laptops & desktops and all BIOS-based systems If your system does not have UEFI boot mode then select legacy. Also, there are several kext that is a must, and by default, it installs when you choose to install a boot mode with MultiBeast, mentioned in the shot below. Note: Here choose the option that you create the USB Installer If you have installed macOS Sierra by UEFI then select UEFI if no then select Legacy. Step #3. After that, go to the Drivers section and choose the proper audio and network options for your system. Choose the one that your system support. For most of the system FakeSMC is critical, So for this make you sure that you have selected it from Misc options. Step #4. On the Customize section, select your graphics support. For Nvidia graphics 700, 900, Titan does not select Inject Nvidia. Also from here, you can change your system definition if you need to change. Step #5. Also from here, you can change your system definition if you need to change. Step #6. After making all the settings then click on the Build section then select where you want to install this environment and finally click Install. Step #7. Then Agree to the terms and license then type your password and finally click Install Helper. Step #8. Wait for several minutes to install the bootloader, drivers and other configuration that you applied then finally when you get the screen below, restart your PC to get the result. Result: So the drivers and bootloader are installed on the disk then after restarting your PC, to make sure the drivers are working. Like, the bootloader that you have installed must work, and after this, you should be able to boot in macOS Sierra drive without the USB installer. (like a shot below) So after the restart, you can check what’s working and what parts are still disabled. If you aren’t sure that you have installed the drivers correctly while choosing, then you can install it again to make that working. Yet for all the parts, I will try to make a special guide for fixing everything like audio, Trackpad, and other problems.
