### Credits

Thanks to [@acidanthera](https://github.com/acidanthera) for creating the software, kexts, and patches, required to even begin to make this possible. I take no credit for any of this development and only seek to make an easy to use method for getting macOS running on Hyper-V. You can find original sources at the following links: [OpenCore Bootloader](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg) & [Hyper-V Support](https://github.com/acidanthera/MacHyperVSupport).
