For more info use the following link:

P.S I'm posting the same here because nobody answered me on Mac's forum.
Maybe it shouldn't work as I installed Mac on My Toshiba Satellite C665 SinglecCore but it didn't work great you can try if you have windows to install again if not work..
This thread is not the right section.
You should go post this in the Hackintosh subsection of the OS X section.
This section is specifically for these questions.

My era of providing technical support and malware removal on HackForums is over, so you can stop PM'ing me about it. Sorry.
http://www.hackintosh.com/ - However it takes quite specific hardware
Short answer is NO you can not install an Apple released MAC O/S on your PC, it requires specialized hardware and firmware. You can run it as a Guest O/S in a Virtual Machine under a Windows/Linux/Unix Host O/S or attempt to run an older and dated, highly modified Apple O/S called OSx86 http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Personally I'd just use any of a number of Unix and Linux distros that have a Mac GUI look and feel. After all the Apple operating system is a certified UNIX O/S with just the Apple Finder front end.

Take care
Considering the fact that your laptop is, well, a laptop, your motherboard is likely not compatible with Mac OS.
Also, @Polymath, OSx86 is not outdated whatsoever. It's the latest version of MacOS with a program that you run to apply a few patches and drivers.

I also found installing a MAC OS difficult but with this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3910 it is easy to install MAC OS on computers.

Try you will definitely able to install it.

Change MAC Address

Change MAC Address

He wants to install Mac OS on a normal "PC," not on a Mac,
Also, Mac is not an acronym, it is an abbreviation of "Macintosh." Don't capitalize all 3 letters in it.
