I don't have another PC to plug into, looking more into it is 10 i believe on the usb. I just remember something off when I dl it from the site not matching the tutorial. Anywho bootcamp doesn't work here and I don't have another drive to spare atm. I have 5 drives plugged in including the pcie drive which I wanted to partition half of it using apfs since apfs is supposedly shares media between the two drives in bootcamp. however "This Mac does not support Boot Camp."
The problem you'll run into if you try and install 10 (and I assume 11) directly through OpenCore is that it will fail, it can't write to the drive. I know, because I tried that first, lol. Some quick searching showed guys extracting the Windows 10 installer to an exFAT partition (which you can do on your same drive) and others were starting it in VirtualBox and then booting that install directly.
- 0xe00002e2 error after nvrest and blessing it again. Was going to install on partition, already did a expat, and tried to option in to the usb drive i had windows installer on. black screen. nvram reset now i can't load open core. **** this unstable garbage.
I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my main 5,1 to bigsur 11.6.4. I have been testing OC.76 and bigsur in my spare for a couple of months but my main machine has been running dosdude catalina for over a year. So far no complaints, I moved the OC drive across and upgraded the OC to .77 then ran the bigsur installers over my old drive and removed any files that might be a problem manually. Seemed a little slow initially while doing its update things but its all caught up now
Hi overkill338LM, thanks for replying. I'm still on High Sierra and have tested a Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX 5700XT. Which I have finally flashed with EFI MAC. I decided to flash because of an issue I've already raised in OC threads, (I used Martin's OC exactly as explained), but I didn't get a completely clear answer. My question is focused on saying what operating system to install, so as not to have to suffer the damn Warning "incompatible Disk" This Disk uses fractures that are not supported on this version of macOS. You tell me that Catalina will not run natively. Do you know what this is due to? You mean that Big Sur and Monterey will run natively. I am very grateful for your attention.
I've been upgrading using OC through all OS and I am on Monterey 12.2.1. I haven't noticed graphics sluggishness. I use the 5,1 for work and personal activities but don't using it for gaming and such. Using apps like GIMP and some work-related programs that may be graphics light dependent have no problems. The only issues I have is slow boot since BS (from threads due to Samsung NVME 970 EVO SSD) but can live with that as apparent fix is to reformat and clean install, also I have noticed of late that disk access activities like saving a file from within an app are sluggish to display finder window. Not sure yet but may be mostly related to MS Office apps. I have been assuming this is also related to SSD but again not that problematic.
The last version of MacOS that will run natively (no OpenCore or similar) is Mojave. Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey all require a UEFI intermediary to make the installer/OS think it is being installed on supported hardware. This is what OpenCore achieves, providing that interface. It also protects the Mac UEFI by preventing Windows from talking to it/modifying it, which can mess things up.
You are using a Radeon card. My suspicion is that the NVidia driver included in Big Sur doesn't perform as well as the one used for Mojave, but I have no proof of that. Something clearly changed though, because I had issues with dual displays, as have other people, which didn't happen on Mojave. This was also resolved with Monterey, so whatever driver the OCLP folks used to re-enable support must be different than the Big Sur one.
I found disk access in Big Sur to take a hit over Mojave, but that seems to have disappeared with Monterey, which seems to be in general, faster. Like 6DecadesLater, you are using a Radeon card, so I suspect my issue is NVidia driver related.I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my main 5,1 to bigsur 11.6.4.

I will start the Monterey testing soon, but overall i'm happy with big sur. I think the cutsey iphone style graphics in the interface waste a bit of graphical computer power , if i'm not mistaken

Ugh, that sucks. Were you trying to run the Windows installer through OpenCore? If so, that won't work. I think the easiest way for you is to use the VirtualBox method, which yields a bootable installation that has already gone through the first phase of the setup (basically the same as what I did with a spare PC) that you then boot directly using OpenCore.
How did you get an RX5700XT to run on High Sierra when drivers for it didn't come out until Catalina 10.15.1?
For flashed cards that the macOS release you are booting do not yet have the GPU drivers, the display works via the fall-back EFI drivers.
Hello prefuso07, from what I can see, my translator is sometimes not very fine. What I meant is that I went back to High Sierra, obviously I had to disassemble the Sapphire Nitro+ graphics card and mount the Nvidia one that I have already flashed, that is, change one for another.

I don’t want to speak too soon for anyone else, but I use only wired. I’m reinstalling Mojave after some ****up open core did, glad I never used the same drive. Anywho yeah, now every time I get past the install it asks me to turn on my mouse. Note the line that runs to the bt on the logic board is snapped. Never thought I needed latency on a mouse or replace bats again. Pretty cool stuff.
I have a GTX 680 and a AMD Radeon HD 7950 , about 150 euros, in Monterey. They work real good.
One way is OCLP post install option. You won't get macOS updates after that. You have to download a full macOS installer to do an update. If updating the current installation results in a boot loop, you can install to a new location and use migration assistant to get your files from the old location.
Weird, I had the opposite experience, I found Big Sur to be sluggish, Monterey is much faster overall, more similar to Mojave in everything but gaming graphics, but that was a dog on Big Sur too.
