Boot Installer - Boot Opencore, select installer, and Install Big Sur. (Youll have to Create a MacOS Big Sur installer) ## Notes - The NVME Drive that comes with this Laptop is a SKHynix 512GB which is not supported by Mac OS, Please replace it as it will not boot with it installed. (I bought a WD SN750 500GB that worked great). - If the system Crashes, Kernal Panics, or you manually shut it down you will have to re-enter BIOS settings above. (Havent figured out how to save them even if it kernal panics) - Fixed - Graphics glitches when booting then is completely fine after the first 10-20 or so seconds. (Fixed Thanks to 1OldSWguy) ### Working - WIFI - Bluetooth - Sound - Graphics Acceleration - Keyboard - Trackpad - Battery Settings - Webcam - USB-C - Brightness Keys - USB ### Partial Working - USB-C (Sleep Crashes with dock) - might be fixed with latest, dont have a dock to test - Sleep ### Not Working - Thunderbolt - HDMI - FingerPrint Reader ## Credits - Thanks [Opencore community](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg) - Thanks 1OldSWguy - Thanks daniyo27
