generally speaking trying to run a MAC os on an intel based computer is an exercise in futility

Let me rephrase that..MAC OS required very SPECIFIC hardware to run on.. any deviations is a no go for MAC os.

look you asked the question I answered it, even provided two different links to conversation and resources of people that have tried and done this before you. and answer clearly your question if you bother to read a few page of either links... but if it was simple and easy, there would a lot more PC mac OS on the market 😛

You can usually get OS X installed on any PC. However, certain devices will almost always need hacks to get working (if you can get it working). Audio, WiFi card, SD card reader, etc. OS X is just a modified variant of BSD Unix, so there is a fair level of community support for this sort of thing. But most people wishing to run OS X on a PC research which components/laptops are compatible, then buy the hardware. Not the other way around.

If you don't need to run OS X natively, you can try running it in a virtual machine. Hardware device support tends to be a bit better in that case since the virtual hardware is standardized. The major VM programs put in software blocks at Apple's request to prevent you from doing this (their license only allows OS X server to be run in a VM). But there are hacks available to remove these blocks.

OS X and Windows are mostly incompatible in terms of filesystems (Windows cannot read nor write HFS+, OS X can read but not write to NTFS), so there's very little benefit to running OS X natively vs in a VM. In terms of sharing files between the two systems, it's easier if you're running the two concurrently (Windows natively, OS X in a VM) and just share files via Samba / Windows file sharing. Otherwise your best option is an exFAT partition, but I wouldn't want to install either OS on that.
