I created with the app in the 5,1 and put it in my 2019 Mac Pro and it booted no prob which prooves the 5,1 is the problem, the app was not the issue, it's an issue with my 5,1 and maybe the latest Windows 11 build. I can still install Windows 11 using my 2022 Rufus created thumb drive on the 5,1 and get it up to date.
Lance, can you tell me if you look at the list of hardware and drivers in windows - does everything work correctly for you? Are there about 100 incorrect drivers for internal equipment like mine? I've been following your reviews on YouTube for many years, and I make many decisions only after carefully studying the experience of many people from the Macrumors community. I thought about it for about half a year and decided that it was time to upgrade to Mac Pro 7.1 (I bought two identical 7.1 instead of my two old 4.1/5.1.)
Now it's been almost a month since I've been trying to get all the programs working correctly. I couldn't do a simple SSD transfer with Windows from a 5.1 cmp to a 7.1 smp (it only worked for me with OpenCore - I configured the OCLP). But I immediately found about 100 non-working drivers in Windows - for pci and many many others, ethernet does not work - and neither bootcamp nor brigadier helped with this huge list. After working for almost a month, I decided to try to install a new version of Windows 10 Pro on a spare disk and see if there would be a list of non-working equipment. Sergey's program is very intuitive - despite the fact that I followed the discussion for six months - while deciding to buy a Mac Pro 7.1, but I did not have the task of installing Windows, and completely setting up all the programs and licenses from scratch. Today I decided to test the installation using Sergey's program: I carefully read the chat again in full, so as not to repeat the mistakes of everyone who took part in the beta testing.
1. as I expected, despite the fact that Sergey's program prepared disk for installing Legacy windows correctly, the installation process itself did not start on the Mac Pro - nowhere in the discussion did I find in which cases it is necessary to install UEFI, and in which cases Legacy. My cmp 7.1 simply did not start the installation - it does not consider this disk bootable
2. I confirm that the installation of Windows UEFI using CMP 7.1 with the help of Sergey's program was quick and correct ( in mac settings i set completely unsafe boot of any operating systems, and set boot from external usb)
3. despite the successful new installation and installation of bootcamp drivers, I have a huge list of non-working equipment, including the non-working Ethernet
as macschrauber mentioned:
if the opencor bootloader is used, then after updating windows it registers the boot folder - and then when you press alt and the boot option appears, in addition to loading opencor, there is also a direct boot to windows - and if you mistakenly click on direct boot, then a blue screen of death appears (Before loading you need to remove extra boot)
I completely damaged my Windows system disk with this error, I had to reformat it and clone it from my old working one.
another thing I found is that in EFI on the windows disk, when there are crashes and reboots, the apple folder is somehow written. and if it is there, then I also cannot boot into windows
I can't remember now all the cases and difficulties that I experienced in the process of setting up new cMPs. But what I can state is that Sergey's program is a very good and very simple solution for attentive and careful users.
