Have you tried InsanelyMac, or TonyMac? They're probably the two most detailed sources about OSX86 machines. Make sure you know everything about your PC's specs, since it simply may not be compatible and another operating system may have to be selected in replacement of OS X on Windows. It's not an easy thing to install for the most part, but good luck and check both of those sites. They both have forums as well and the regulars on them should know a lot more about what you want to do than the majority of us. :)

I had the same problem on my toshiba, I used multi beast Lion version and installed kexts for keyboard and mouse and it's fixed

So how do u used the multi-beast when your touch pad and keyboard werent working...

You may also want to check the osx86project website. I got a lot of information there when I was doing this. Finally gave up and bought a MacBook Pro, though. However, I can understand why you are trying to do so with your VAIO.

Thanks for understanding..actually i have tried OS X Lion on vmWare and i fell in love with it..i mean the app accession, the fluidity of the OS is superb!

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
