Introduction

This EFI uses OpenCore 0.8.6 and is used for install Hackintosh Monterey 12.6.1. Please make sure the system matches to the one you want, before using it.

One of the most important reason I choose MacOS Monterey 12.6.1 is the stability. Currently Hackintosh with MacOS Ventura 13.1 is still unstable.

Version

macOS Monterey 12.6.1 OpenCore: 0.8.6 (RELEASE)

Dual Boot with Windows 11

1. Download the Windows 11 iso from windows official website

2. Make the USB installation drive.

3. Install Windows 11

   • By default, Windows system cannot use the Broadcom WIFI/Bluetooth card. Therefore, at the stage connect to internet you cannot find any wifi, if you don't connect your PC with a LAN cable.
   • However, there is no button for skip this step by default. You can solve this issue by pressing Shift + F10 to open the terminal and inputting OOBE\BYPASSNRO to skip this step.

4. When you finish the installation, download the file win_10_64_bcm_driver.zip, and install the drivers for bluetooth and wifi individually.
