So my hardware is just a generation away from being supported? Well that's sad, I still can't get passed the original error though. Plus, most things it says to disable aren't even features of this device.

Well it is supported, but yes with the iGPU. Pretty much everything after that generation has full support besides 11th/12th gen (you'd need an AMD GPU for that). You should use this if you want to get it to work at all: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/prerequisites.html

Read the guide, nothing I haven't done. To be fair though, I am using one of those ‘All the drivers, should just work, expect it to’ hackintosh distributions. But I had previously installed perfectly fine on my PC. So, it's probably best to think about the differences between the two devices. The PC has an i5-2400, 12 GB of ram, a Sata SSD. The laptop has a 2nd gen celeron, 4GB of RAM, and a Sata HDD i think. What's gone wrong here?

Don't use any hackintosh distributions.

I'll try making a ISO myself later. But what the distro does really weird, is that it says ‘2 minutes left’ then installs super fast. Gets to 3/4 installed then shows the error. Would this at least bring some extra details?

Distros typically aren't open source and aren't safe to use.

I'm looking at the instructions for creating the ISO alone, and its not very streamlined. This project is going to take 3 and a half more weeks than anticipated.

You can probably find pre-existing EFIs for your device but no graphics accel so you might as well use the Dortania guide.

I'm currently on the recovery downloading part. The recovery image is ~700mb - 2gb correct?

I think so.

Yeah the guide is a little confusing the first time. Basically just get the kexts you want for your device and laptop. In the guide they're grouped (ethernet, wifi, GPU, laptop, trackpad, etc). Download them and put them on the hard drive. Those kexts are required.

i once managed to get mac os big sur running in vmware. it is very tricky and took a very long time and needs exactly the right setup to work. if you want hardware graphics then you will need to get a supported graphics card, a list of which can be found throughout this website.

I can't just go out and buy a graphics card no matter how much I wish I could. I thought Intel Integrated Graphics would work, it does but second gen doesn't.

Huh? I'm guessing this means desktop Sandy Bridge, as mobile Sandy Bridge does have full working iGPU.

Intel HD 2000 has no support.

if you only need to use mac os for occaisional mac-specific things (like compiling things with xcode), then you don't need a gpu. (unless you are doing something very gpu related that only works on a gpu)
