How to use

1. Make your USB installer with this guide sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ YOUR\ VERSION.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --nointeraction
2. Clone the repository and paste "BOOT" and "OC" directories into your's pendrive "EFI" folder
3. Download GenSMBIOS to generate unique SMBIOS information. Run it and follow all steps, as the model select MacBookPro15,4 1.
4. Boot it!

You CAN NOT use SMBIOS from this repository, it MUST be unique for every macOS installation

Steps

• BIOS:
  • Turn off Secure Boot

Post Installation

• Move your OpenCore EFI folder to a MacOS drive: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/oc2hdd.html#grabbing-opencore-off-the-usb

Hints

• If you've dual boot:
  • To enable macOS-only SMBIOS injection (disabled for Windows 10):
    • Kernel → Quirks → CustomSMBIOSGuid → True
    • Platforminfo → UpdateSMBIOSMode → Custom
  • To have UTC clock and fix Windows 10 issues : DualBoot/UniversalTimeFix.reg
  • Disable Fast Boot on Windows 10 : DualBoot/DisableFastBoot.reg
  • NTFS r/w support : brew install --cask osxfuse; brew install --cask mounty
