## Compatibility ⚙️

- MateBook 14 2019

- macOS Ventura 13.5.1 (22G90)

## Prerequisites 📋

- Basic understanding of computer hardware and software.

- USB drive with sufficient storage for macOS installation.

- Backup of important data before attempting any changes.

- Patience and willingness to troubleshoot issues.

## Installation Steps ⬇️

This project does **not** provide a detailed guide for installing macOS, you may need [related informations](#acknowledgments-👏) for help. Instead, it provides a prebuilt EFI folder that can be used to boot macOS on your MateBook 14 2019. You will need to modify the `EFI/OC/config.plist`, prepare the macOS installer, configure your BIOS/UEFI settings yourself.

1. **Preparation:**

   - Download the macOS Ventura 13.5.1 installer(Choose one).

      - [Download-macOS](https://github.com/Comp-Labs/Download-macOS)

      - [Follow OpenCore's guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/)

      - [macOShome](https://macoshome.com/hackintosh/uefistart/17045.html)(Recommended to Chinese user)

      - [Mediy](https://pan.mediy.cn/📁Files/macOS)(Recommended to Chinese user)

      - [Mist](https://github.com/ninxsoft/Mist)(If you have a real Mac, use this)

      - [gibMacOS](https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS)

      - etc.

   - Create a bootable USB drive using a tool like Ventoy or balenaEtcher.

   - Replace the USB drive's EFI partition with the release file.

2. **BIOS/UEFI Settings:**

   - Access your laptop's BIOS/UEFI settings by restarting and pressing the F2.

   - Configure settings recommended for Hackintoshing.

     - Disable Secure Boot

     - Disable TPM

3. **Installation:**

   - Boot from the USB drive and start the macOS installation process with `(External)` tag.

   - Format your target drive to both of GUID partition Scheme and APFS using Disk Utility during installation.

   - Install macOS on the formatted drive.

   - When rebooting in the installation process, boot from the USB drive again, but this time choose your macOS installation(without `(External)` tag).

4. **Post-Installation:**

   - After installation, mount the EFI partition, copy the release file to the mounted hard disk EFI partition. Next time boot without the USB drive, just choose macOS (without `(External)` tag).

   - Fix iServices(if need) by following [Dortania's guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/iservices.html).

   - Enable HiDPI by following [this guide](https://github.com/bbhardin/A-Guide-to-MacOS-Scaled-Resolutions) or referring to andrewlsa's [project](https://github.com/andrewlsa/Matebook-14-2019-Hackintosh).

   - Configure your system according to your preferences.

5. **Troubleshooting:**

   - Reading the [OpenCore Install Guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/) and [OpenCore Post-Install Guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/) is highly recommended.

   - If you encounter other issues, refer to online Hackintosh communities for solutions.

   - Be prepared to tweak settings and try different configurations.
