then, how to use it? follow the instructions below



# How to



## Create macOS installer



- with [macOS](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/mac-install.html)

- with [windows](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/winblows-install.html)

- with [linux](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/linux-install.html)



## Adding the base bootloader



download the bootloader [here](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases) 

after that copy the EFI folder from X64 folder to your efi volume. to mount your efi volume, i recommend [this tools](https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI). further instructions [here](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/)



## Gathering drivers and kexts



these are the kexts and drivers that I used. if you have a plan to use my `config.plist` in the future. please check again if these exist.   

![ketxs](docs/kexts.png)   

![drivers](docs/drivers.png)    

fewer drivers or and kexts are better so don't put an unnecessary. further instructions you can follow this [guides](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ktext.html) 



## ACPI or SSDTs!



this one is a very important thing if you use a motherboard likes me (aorus z390i).

you can download it from this repository inside the EFI folder.    

![acpi](docs/acpi.png)    



## Final step: config.plist!



you can use mine inside this EFI folder. ofc you should modify some of it, I recommend this [tools](https://github.com/corpnewt/ProperTree) to do so. 

or you can make your own by following this [guides](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/#creating-your-config-plist)



# What's working or not working?



_Everythings are working!_ **except** the native wifi from the motherboard. if you consider using the wifi, you have to replace or add another wifi card. I recommend BCM94352Z or you can follow this [guides](https://dortania.github.io/Wireless-Buyers-Guide/unsupported.html#supported-chipsets)
