can't install windows 11 to my preinstalled sequoia.
spec:
Intel i5 10400
ASUS ROG Z490-E
500 gb ssd
32gb ram
I have sequoia preinstalled in my system and I'm trying to dual boot windows in the same drive.
whenever I use the guide to install the windows first it won't copy the boot file as the last step suggests. when I found a way around it, the install is incomplete. it gives the error "windows could not complete installation. To complete installation in this computer, restart the installation."
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, can someone help me? please

vram problems - i7 6700 running macos sequoia
Hi,
I've managed to succesfully install macos sequoia on my intel skylake processor, however no matter what I try I cannot get the hardware acceleration to work. About Mac keeps showing 18mb of vram. I've checked many topics related to this problem, eg. https://elitemacx86.com/threads/how-to-enable-intel-skylake-graphics-intel-hd-graphics-515-520-530-540-550-and-580-on-macos-ventura-and-later.928/page-2, but nothing changes.
I've already installed macos monterey on my PC, so all my BIOS settings should be fine.
Is there someone with similar cpu to mine, that have managed to make it work? My guess is that it's all about the setup of bootargs and device properties, but I don't know what values should I try next.
Here is my device properties:

There is no device-id field in device properties rn, but I've already tried: 16590000 and 3E9B0000

HELP Is anyone bored enough to help me ? Haswell expert/connoisseur needed
Hi everyone,
I am new to all this, and I'm looking for a person with enough free time and experience to provide a solution to my problem. I apologize if I made any mistake in presenting the actual post.
I believe someone with deep experience might find the whole thing easy, as a noob like me in the hackintosh field only has a 12 hour experience, but I am pretty positive I can follow any instruction if I ever find appropriate ones... For the moment, due to the lack of documents on this specific machine and scenario, I let LLM's help me, but to no avail.
I have a ToughPad FZ-G1 (FZ-G1FA-50BE, MK2, i5 4310U 2.00Ghz 2.59ghz) 8GB RAM 256SSD from 2014
There are 2.00 to 3.00ghz models, mine is 2.00 to 2.59ghz. There are also Ivy Bridge models apparently, but mine defo seems to be Haswell.
Im trying to run High Sierra on it, as I've seen hackintosh run in the past on this type of machine (FZ-G1 although with exact model I can't know), so I actually went on to find a Haswell notebook EFI folder, and tried tinkering with the config.plist file and kexts to make it as close as possible as what the hardware would need. I've read the EFI prebuilt note, but what's the point of trying to build the whole thing now as long as my comprehension is limited ?
It obviously started with many errors which caused me to activate -v at some point in the boot-args and get rid of every error I saw in the logs, one by one, until I was left with reboot loops after "end random seed" , as I did not have any other approach or examples to help. Not being an expert in this field, my failure does not surprise me, but still it is irritating :)))
Activating igfxvesa did not help.
After some more tinkering with boot-args and changing the model from macbook 15,2 to 11,1 I found a configuration allowing me to reproduce the freeze on the apple logo (without igfxvesa); whatever actual model I was entering in the config.plist (BQAmCg etc.) it behaved same, selects the installer, then freezes on apple logo.
Testing some more boot-args got me to the Apple Logo and straight out to the 🚫 screen once, but after trying other configs and going back to this specific one, I was not able to reproduce the 🚫 a second time and got stuck again at apple logo. That was honestly weird because I was methodic in what I tried and went back exactly to the known boot-args and settings causing it in the first place.
It's stuck both in graphical and verbose mode, and that last one is how I know I still made no progress regarding the end random seed message, although it does not reboot on its own anymore and now stays stuck, both in -v or not, the only change being the apple logo showing when not in -v mode, which I do not consider as a symptom of progress or success, I do not wish to be fooled by it. A progress bar would be an actual sign, I guess.
So, right after selecting Install macos High Sierra in OpenCore :
"Choose the operating system : OK
End SetconsoleMode
Start LoadKernelFromStream
Start InitBootStructure
root device uuid is '4922AA16-BC43-3BF5-94CC-8FF7DE6411DD'
End InitBootStruct
Start LoadRAMDisk
End LoadRAMDisk
Start FinalizeBootStruct
Start RandomSeed
End RandomSeed"
config.plist > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YriHRl0HfBhyOpfL0D5-VazhaTlRFhGv/view?usp=drive\_link
Thanks in advance, I'd be fairly happy if anyone could provide a bit of help :)

Unable to install Windows to separate drive after Hackintoshing
Last week I converted my PC to a Hackintosh, which worked great. I cloned my Linux installation to my secondary drive along with Windows. Now during the Hackintoshing process I accidentally wiped my secondary drive with Linux and Windows. No biggie since I follow a 3-2-1 Backup strategy. Now I wanted to reinstall Windows and Linux, however I couldn’t install Windows no matter what. The installation would just quietly fail with a “Windows 11 installation has failed” message, no error, no nothing (Thanks Microsoft, really helpful!). I tried different USB drives and different installers (Rufus, MCT, WoeUSB), but every installation just failed with the same message. After six hours I gave up (for now) and continued with Linux, which installed instantly without any issues whatsoever. I find it crazy that Microsoft, who wants Windows to be user friendly, has such a terrible and unusable installer.
Does the installer have some kind of verbose mode, where errors are actually displayed?

Successfully installed macOS Sonoma on an IvyBridge with Nvidia web driver (kind of)!
https://reddit.com/link/1lmhffr/video/9ygky353km9f1/player
Ive successfully installed macOS Sonoma on my ivyBridge system. And then used OCLP to patch Nvidia web driver (not that straight forward).
At first I tried to patch with the latest version of OCLP but that didn't enable qe/ci. Then I used OCLP version 2.0.1 and it worked. After that I updated OCLP to the latest version and rematch and it still works.
There are some weird glitches with the blur effect but overall, the animations are smooth.
My specs:
* CPU: i5 3470
* GPU: Nvidia GTX 750
* RAM: 16GB DDR3-1600
* Motherboard: Some Chinese B75 ITX motherboard
* Wifi/BT: Intel N7260
I haven't fully tested everything yet. There's will be a followup post.

External Anker SSD enclosure is slow on macOS Monterey
Hi, guys!
I have this Anker 68AN25EN-BPA SATA to USB3 external enclosure, but in macOS Monterey 12.7.6 it works at USB2 speeds.
I bought it a long time ago and I know for a fact that it worked at full speed without any issues in High Sierra and Mojave.
However, in Monterey it’s completely broken in terms of speed or even how finicky it is to connect.
I’ve tested this exact enclosure in Windows and it works there at full USB3 speed, so I know it’s not broken, and it’s something to do with my macOS.
I’m actually running a normal legit version of macOS on a MacBook Pro 15" 2015, but I thought if there’s a community of people who understand macOS really well and would potentially be able to help me — it would be Hackintosh.
Also, I know it’s not USB ports of my Mac, because when I connect external HDD drives from WD or Seagate, or other USB drives — they work at USB3 speeds, and it’s reported in System Report that they’re connected at full "Up to 5Gb/s speed", unlike this adapter, that says it’s connected at 480Mb/s, or USB2 speed.
It seems like I have a chip JMicron JMS566 on that device, I was able to read the markings on a chipset, so my best guess is that Apple or JMicron or Anker screwed up the drivers for that device, and newer macOS versions are kinda not supported or whatever the hell is going on there.
My question is: any idea how to fix this? Is there any kext I could install that would solve this issue?
Or is there any way to perhaps update the firmware of that enclosure itself, if it's even possible.
Any ideas, guys? Anyone had this issue before?
I was using a Hackintosh for several years in 2016-2020, but it’s become a little too much of a hassle and I needed a laptop, hence why I switched back to a Mac, but now it seems like tinkering again with the system is the only solution.
I’d highly appreciate it, because all my research has lead me nowhere so far.
