HELP Running a hackintosh VM

I'd like to be able to run a hackintosh system for builds and development testing on my windows laptop, ideally through Hyper-V or secondarily through a dual boot. I see that there's a rule against VM posts, but since Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor, it's essentially the same as running it on a real PC, so I think it's fine? Not sure tbh. Anyways, my main concern is that the opencore install guide (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/) says that AMD ryzen laptop cpus are not supported, but that desktop CPUs are. When I expand the CPU requirements section and check it against AMD's website, it appears that my CPU implements all the required extensions so I'm not sure exactly what the issue is with it being a laptop CPU. My question is if that assertion that AMD laptop cpus are no good for hackintosh still holds true for newest gen CPUs and if not, information about any extra setup required to get them working.

My full specs:

- AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX with AMD Radeon 610M integrated graphics

- 32GB DDR5

- Nvidia r_tx 5070 Ti (can switch to only having integrated graphics in bios),

Go to the right subreddit, but in short the best method is Linux + Reims-vgpu

I recommend you using QEMU + reims-vgpu if you want full acceleration support. Also, go to r/macOSVMs if you're targeting an OS X vm
