The mac is not freeware
Yes it will cause legal problems, especially if it is NOT your laptop and is a company owned laptop.
The "hackintosh" movement came from field testing allowed by the developer community - some people had to write drivers and things - for the original base OS kernel and things that Apple sanctioned porting BSD UNIX for a Macintosh base OS - then it became and continued as a movement that Apple has not said much about because it is in reality building them a new product line and following - HOWEVER; it is NOT freeware nor the Apple licensed product.
A Windows license is NOT an Apple license, and the owner of the laptop or computer is responsible for what is on it.
So YES it could cause legal problems - and WOULD cause legal problems of a very costly nature if the company was found to have unlicensed software on it's equipment.
It does not take a Lawyer to figure that out. If you buy a Retail copy, get the companies permission and do it - that might be a different story - HOWEVER - apple is not a fan of unauthorized equipment running the MAC OS. Google "apple sues over mac clones" and see how unpleasant this is in Apples' eyes.
Duh . . .
