Now you have OpenCore EFI, the default output for the EFI created by OC Configurator/ EFI Maker is in your Documents folder. OC Configurator is also useful to edit the ist later. Use Disk Utility to format the drive, to mount the EFI partition you can use OC Configurator, it works the same as Clover Configurator. By formatting the drive to GPT, it will automatically make the drive has the EFI partition on it. When it’s ready, plug it into your PC.įirst thing first, you will need to change the partition of your USB flash drive as GUID Partition Map (GPT) and format as macOS Extended (Journaled). And make sure there is no important data in your USB drive. Since the installer of macOS Big Sur is pretty big in size eg 11 – 12 GB. To make macOS Big Sur USB Installer make sure you have at least 16 GB in size of the USB drive. So you can get a reference for your Hackintosh project.

So let’s wrap it up, I’ll try my best here to share what I’ve learned.

If you are still learning how to use Opencore either, you are not alone. Of course, also from any source that I can find on the internet. I do use the references from the official Dortania site (and you should too). But it works anyway … Oh ya, this post is meant to work with an already running macOS on a Hackintosh PC. I am a Clover guy you know, and my approach here is maybe slightly different. This is my first time using Opencore as the boot loader. In this post, I will share how I do it in alternative ways. So, yeah I do upgrade my mobo to Gigabyte LGA 1155 H61M DDR 3 along with a Core i3 3220 CPU still low-budget anyway 🙂

Since the OS could not be installed on my old low-budget motherboard which is MSi LGA 775 with core 2 duo CPU. Have succeeded in installing macOS Big Sur & Monterey on my Hackintosh PC using Opencore.
