I'm trying to get a hackintosh running via my laptop.

I'm following the instructions on tonymacs86.com and it says to download El Capitan through the app store.

Since I don't own a mac, I downloaded a VMware image and successfully booted it up.

I'm downloading the image through the App store now.

Is this the correct way of doing this for my situation or is there an easier way of doing this?

What laptop?
Hackintoshing laptops are harder and requires more trouble shooting. El captain doesn't seem to even have a full version of multibeast, I would stick with Yosemite until you see support for el captain.

the correct way of doing this is dump your asus piece of shit in the garbage and go to your closest Apple Store to buy a real Macbook

nope just laughing at you OP. you probably turned your nose up at apple products when you bought that asus piece of shit like it was some act of defiance against evil trendy hipsters. now look who's suffering some serious buyers remorse and trying to get on the apple bandwagon LOL

the launch price of the UX31E is more expensive than the base 13" MBA...
>>
>>51466132
nope. there's a logical threshold i posses where buying something becomes too expensive. In this case, 1,500 is too much for a laptop. also I bought my laptop in 2013 and osx was shit back then

you're retarded, OSX has been awesome since Lion or even longer. also the 2013 MBA is the haswell model which has 15 hours of battery life and shits all over the pathetic 6.5 hours your UX31E gets. LOL

>osx was shit back then
you think OS X has gotten measurably *better* since 2013? In what way?

Everyone who's been paying attention has consistently said that OS X has either stayed roughly the same or gotten worse. Maybe you're conflating "OS X has gotten better" with "Windows has gotten worse". They're different

bump bcuz no attention

OP, carefully google "your laptop + hackintosh", check the forums for kexts (basically drivers), and prepare to spend not only this evening, but maybe also a couple more to make it work.

I've literally spent 10 hours before I could say "yup, everything is working and I'm sure the OS will boot next time I turn the computer on".

But once you do this, it's stable as fuck.
