Fix Dual Boot
I use macos and window 10 on the same ssd
In my case, windows 10 was installed earlier so I must place mac partition in between efi partition and windows partition
First EFI partition | Second is Macos partition | Last Windows partition |
---|
To dual boot mac and windows you should change \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
to \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw-orig.efi
Then OC should be detect your winows 10 efi in Boot menu
IF OC Bootloader NOT AUTO DETECT WINDOWS 10 EFI follow below steps:
-
In your config.plist at
Misc/BlessOverridedd
add new child\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw-orig.efi
-
Then reboot you should see your EFI partition appear, but you can not rename this entry.
-
First you should add
OpenShell.efi
in yourOC\driver
and add it toconfig.plist
to find Pciroot -
Boot Into OpenCore and Select
OpenShell.efi
, you’ll be Greeted with Screen like this (image from another one).
-
Select your EFI Partition (The first entry of your boot drive. In my case it FS0:, the first ssd entry)
-
Enter
map > \map_table.txt
to save your drive map data. Remember which FS drive your EFI is! -
Now exit from OpenShell and boot Mac OS.
-
Get into your EFI drive (I'm assuming you're old hat at this by now) and open map_table.txt Note the device string that identifies your EFI drive.
-
Edit your
config.plist
file with the following changes: -
At
Misc -> Entries
create a new item with the following:Key Type Value Comment String Windows 10 Entry Name String Windows 10 Enabled Boolean YES Auxiliary Boolean NO Arguments String Path String Your EFI Device String/\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw-orig.efi As an example, this is my Path string:
PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x17,0x0)/Sata(0x0,0x0,0x0)/HD(1,GPT,000001B3-2A80-3AAD-A6DE-D50166030000,0x800,0x64000) /\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw-orig.efi
Remember space before
/\EFI\

Misc -> Boot -> LauncherOption
