What does this do?

This program allows for macOS modification/installation on almost any PC (Of course after a Bootable macOS Installation USB has been made). Ill be releasing a guide for my main build when I get it done for this. Basic idea is to dual-boot macOS High Sierra and Windows 10, but others do it to mainly cross over to one operating system or the other. Ill probably be the only one up****** this section for Mac and Hackintosh related subjects.
