    OpenCore Legacy Patcher not working on imac 18,3 (imac 2017)

    I tried installing opencore legacy patcher on my imac 18,3. When I get to the step to install opencore, it is greyed out. I am assuming this is because my iMac is not supported by opencore 0.6.8...Can anyone tell me if that could be the issue? Thanks!
