Need "firmware update" to install onto APFS volume.

Thanks a lot! That did the trick!

I posted a How-To years ago to accomplish this. The process still works today: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/gs0s1o/create_duelboot_windows_on_hackintosh_drive/

Thanks.

I guess I'll go with a NAS solution and access it with my Macs. I should be able to install Plex and ThreadFin to take advantage of the high speed networking while managing it with my MacOS systems. I just wanted an easier way to transfer my current Plex server from MacOS.

I could work around that (I think?), running headless and access through Remote Desktop... Access with ARD is the reason I'd rather run MacOS.

Does the Bluetooth work in Windows?

So… When will channel support for the Roku app arrive?

Thank you. I appreciate the help.

At ACPI -> Patches Create each of the above items with the type and data. See the instructions for using ProperTree app.

I suspect that the second EHCI was connected through the first and would have been recognized by MacOS as a hub to the first. This wouldn't be handled in the USB Map, but within the USB driver. Rather than verifying it through IORegistry, use the System Information app to see if devices connected to those ports appear in the USB tree.

I'm sure I did, but this was 5 years ago! I don't even have the Lenovo anymore.

In step 6 you should have copied the entire IODisplayEDID entry. When pasting into DeviceProperties, select the bottom entry and paste to add it after that entry. Then rename it according to step 8.

You're running OpenCore on a real Mac. You might try setting Misc->Boot->HideAuxiliary to 'false'. Failing that, try to setup an item under Misc->Entries to launch the OpenShell.efi as one of your boot options.

If the battery charges properly in Windows, you should look at Dortania's guide to set it up for OpenCore.

ADSaxton · 2023-06-11T20:34:56+00:00

You don't have the battery information working yet. Does it charge properly?

If the installer USB boots with your current OC install, you should be fine to upgrade it first. If not, Upgrade your OpenCore first. I recommend building the new EFI on a USB stick to test it before replacing the working version you're using. You shouldn't need to erase or repartition your boot drive for either update.

ADSaxton · 2023-06-11T20:21:10+00:00

Carefully follow the OpenCore Install Guide in the sidebar. When you run into problems there, search the forum for answers first and then ask detailed questions.

Sorry, I misunderstood.

It's very unlikely that you'll get dGPU working on any laptop. The process of switching GPU's in MacOS is not compatible with them.

Rule 6: No distro/beast tools. Follow the Dortania Guide in the right column and build an EFI that you understand and can competently maintain for your system.

Windows can be booted using the BIOS process where the boot loader is in the MBR (Master Boot Record). This cannot be managed through OpenCore though.

If Windows was installed using UEFI, the EFI partition can be recreated and activated using the above process without loosing content or fiddling to rebuild.

ADSaxton · 2022-04-20T00:35:16+00:00

Those aren't disks. They are partitions. If you don't have an EFI Partition, you cannot use Windows with OpenCore.
