This version of macOS 10.15 7 cannot be installed on this computer hackintosh

Download macOS and Catalina/Mojave patcher from this page:

Apple has certain hardware requirements for installing macOS Catalina and Mojave. So if you download macOS on an unsupported Mac, you get and error message “this version of macOS [10.15.7 or 10.14.6] cannot be installed on this computer” depending upon the OS that you are trying to install. Here in this video, I’m showing the way I fixed the said error message in the App Store by using Catalina Patcher app by dosdude (Collin).

I have successfully installed macOS Catalina (10.15) on my iMac 2011. My iMac has an AMD GPU and because of this graphics card is not functional on my system. But if your Mac has a non-AMD GPU (5xxx or 6xxx) you can use this method to run Catalina and Mojave on unsupported Macs, and that too with GPU support. So in this way could effectively bypass “this version of macOS cannot be installed on this computer” error messages for App Store downloads, and macOS installer app.

I'm trying to install Mojave on a SSD within my laptop. I followed the guide "Booting the O SX installer on LAPTOPS with Clover" from @RehabMan. When I get into the PHASE 1 installation the computer automatically restarts at about 25%. After this I choose to boot from USB in order to get into Clover, then I select: "Boot macOS Install from ...", which is my target disk and I get this message: "macOS could not be installed on your computer".

I already tried with AptioMemoryFix-64 but the only way I can get into the installer is using OsxAptioFixDrv-64. On every try I repartition and erase the target disk according to the guide using Disk Utility.

Your Clover misc/preboot.log proves you did not completely re-partition (it shows signs of a Windows install).

That is my secondary drive. It is a HDD. I'm trying to install Mojave on my primary drive which is a 256 GB SSD.

Does your laptop have a sata HDD drive? I had the same problem, its because of SSD. You need to find a ssd patch. Or you can copy my way of first installing it on HDD and then using a cloning software and clone the HDD to SSD and boot from the SSD. That worked for me.

Yes it has. But I can't use it because it has some partitions and important information. Even a Windows partition.

Make sure you start over from the very beginning each attempt.
Try without EmuVariableUefi-64.efi.
Try with AptioMemoryFix-64.efi instead of OsxAptioFix*.efi.

I tried all those options. When I use AptioMemoryFix-64.efi I can't get into the installer, it shows a forbidden sign in place of the apple logo.

On what hardware did you create your USB installer?

I downloaded the macOS installer from the Mac App Store using another hackintosh install which I have in another HDD. It is Yosemite 10.10.3, and it is the same hardware. But I had to follow this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...cted-mac-os-x-installer-is-incomplete.249330/ in order to obtain the complete installer.
