Hi,

AMD integrated graphics are not supported by macOS therefore they are not very suitable to run macOS.

Ok, I have another Older Machine with Intel I7 CPU.
The laptop is an HP DV7 3170 EL.
Intel Core i7-720QM (6Mb, 1.6GHz),
RAM 4GB DDR3 (2 x 2048MB),
2x 500GB SATA 7200rpm,
17.3" (1600 x 900), NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M 1GB GDDR3,
DVD SM DL, 802.11 b/g/n + BT,
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I just need it for Audio Tools like Logic Audio and other exclusive Mac Software.

You should be able to run macOS on the HP laptop with a Kaby Lake CPU. Here is the OC guide for a Kaby Lake Laptop - https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config-laptop.plist/kaby-lake.html

You will have to use the Intel GPU, as the Nvidia GPU is likely to be what is called a 'Switchable' graphics card, which is common on Windows laptops but has never been used in macOS by Apple. So the GT 230M will need to be disabled, either with this boot argument -wegnoegpu or a custom SSDT-DDGPU.aml.

Sorry my mistake it is a laptop with an Arrandale CPU with a discrete Nvidia GPU, not a Kaby Lake laptop. That is a seriously old system, but is still Hackable. It has a limit of running macOS High Sierra at best.

Here is the link to the OpenCore guide for an Arrandale laptop - https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config-laptop.plist/arrandale.html

You may need to max out the Memory in the HP laptop to 8GB (2 x 4GB) to make it work with the software you are proposing to use.
