The minimum requirements for running OS X Mavericks are based largely on the need for the target Macs to have both a 64-bit Intel processor and a 64-bit implementation of the EFI firmware that controls the Mac's motherboard. And of course, there are also the usual minimum requirements for RAM and hard drive space.

Note that official hardware support for macOS 10.15 'Catalina' is modestly more limited than it is for macOS 10.14 'Mojave' that came before it. It also drops support for 32-bit apps entirely. Be certain to verify hardware and app compatibility before upgrading an older Hackintosh to this version of the operating system or buying parts for a new system.

The previous version of the Mac operating system is macOS 10.14 'Mojave'. In addition to more limited hardware support, later versions of the macOS do not run 32-bit apps at all, so this version could be preferable if you have older software. A number of useful tutorials for Mojave include:

Note that official hardware support for macOS 10.14 'Mojave' is more limited than it is for macOS 10.13 'High Sierra' that preceded it. Be particularly certain to verify hardware and app compatibility before upgrading an older Hackintosh to this version of the operating system or buying parts for a new one.

In addition to potential hardware compatibility issues, you also might have 32-bit apps that do not run, or do not run well under newer versions of the macOS and macOS 10.13 'High Sierra' might be preferable. Quality Hackintosh tutorials for High Sierra include:

Install macOS High Sierra on Supported PCs - How to install macOS 10.13 High Sierra on a supported computer from the well-known tonymacx86 using the site's own Unibeast application.

Although official macOS 10.13 'High Sierra' hardware compatibility is the same, you may want to have your Hackintosh run macOS 10.12 'Sierra' for compatibility with specific third-party software like Office for Mac 2011. Quality Hackintosh tutorials for Sierra include:

Note that official hardware support for macOS 10.12 'Sierra' is more limited than OS X 10.11 'El Capitan' that came before it. Be particularly certain to verify compatibility before upgrading an older Hackintosh to this version of the operating system, too.

Because hardware support for macOS Sierra (10.12) is more limited than OS X 10.11 'El Capitan,' you may have hardware that is not compatible with later versions of the macOS but that is compatible with this version. Quality Hackintosh tutorials for El Capitan include:

Install OS X El Capitan on Supported PCs - How to install OS X 10.11 El Capitan on any supported PC from the legendary tonymacx86 using the site's own Unibeast 6 software tool.

Note that although official hardware support for OS X 10.11 'El Capitan' is extensive, support for specific features, such as support for the advanced 'Metal' graphics technology is more limited. If Metal capability (or another particular feature) is of critical interest to you, make sure that it is likely to work with your desired Hackintosh configuration prior to making hardware purchases.

Although official OS X 10.11 'El Capitan' hardware compatibility is the same, you may want to have your Hackintosh run OS X 10.10 'Yosemite' for compatibility with specific third-party hardware or software. Quality Hackintosh tutorials for Yosemite include:

Install OS X Yosemite on Supported PCs - How to install OS X 10.10 Yosemite on any supported PC from tonymacx86 using the site's own Unibeast and Multibeast software tools.

Although official OS X 10.10 'Yosemite' and even OS X 10.11 'El Capitan' hardware compatibility essentially is the same, you still may prefer to have your Hackintosh run OS X 10.9 'Mavericks' whether for software compatibility or simply because you do not like the 'flat' interface design that OS X 'Yosemite' introduced to the platform. Quality Hackintosh tutorials for Mavericks include:
