macOS 10.4 hangs on Apple screen
I am installing macOS 10.4 Tiger on a Windows 10 host. Initially, the VM went to a UEFI bootscreen with [shell: |] on it but I fixed it. Then, it took me to a screen that said "Press any key to install" or something like that. So I pressed a key. Then it took me to a screen with a gray Apple logo and a gray "loading" circle on a light gray background. It spun around for a while and then it just hung. Then I turned "nested paging" off as suggested in some other post on another site (that one wasn't actually answered), and did the same thing but no loading symbol appeared. Just the Apple logo.

Re: macOS 10.4 hangs on Apple screen
It appears that you are trying to run a macOS guest (aka a Hackintosh) under a Windows 10 host on non-Apple hardware. This is not supported and is also a violation of Apple's End User License Agreement (EULA). More details can be found at: Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest
If you are someone who has actually installed Windows 10 onto genuine Apple hardware and are now trying to install macOS as a guest, which (to use another British expression) is rarer than rocking horse droppings, then you will need to prove that before we can provide any support.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
