MP 1,1-5,1 Windows 11 on Mac Pro 5,1

[Dewdman42]

another question I have is about drivers for various things. when i tried to install windows 10 a while back on top of OC, I used the legancy install approach and had to hunt down the bootcamp drivers which I eventually found and got it all working. but doing it the native way...i presume I have to get actual native drivers for everything...or will win11 itself have all the needed drivers for: wifi, ethernet, audio, GPU (RX580), bluetooth (i upgraded the bluetooth board), etc. How does that work out when doing a native install of win11?

Check out my video, with the “Windows Install” app you can deactivate Windows ESP so if opencore doesn’t load first Windows won’t load. Macschrauber also has this deactivate script in his utilities in Martin Lo’s Opencore package that does the same function. I did have issues with the latest Windows 24H2 .ISO with my 5,1 CMP so I used tiny11 which worked. But my 6,1 had no issue with 24H2 still not sure what the prob is but some folks said 24H2 worked for them. 23H2 might be better for the 5,1 or tiny11. It's Never Been Easier! Install Windows in Mac OS! No BootCamp required.

Great info. A lot to absorb there, but that installer is amazing, 3 minutes and only needs 4gb? Makes me want to make a partition real quick and just give it a try. Anyway thanks for sharing.

one question for you about that video...I notice you referenced OCLP and wondering what things I need to do to configure OC in particular for any of this. I have used CDF's guide to do manual install of OC for running monterey and have been very happy with that and would prefer to continue with that so long as everything will be hunky dory with Win11, but if there are any particular additional things I need to manually add above and beyond CDF's guide would love to know...for example sounds like I need to do something related to the thing that blocks win11 from booting if OC fails for any reason? Or anything else...
