Can my pc dualboot macOs sequoia and pre installed windows 11? (please answer ASAP)

[EliteMacx86]

Yo bro inreally need answers please, i gonna go to a vacation in day and half i need to decide please answer asap man and tysm for your efforts i appreciate it

Oh, hey,

Have been busy in some other work so couldn't respond on time.

Both have native support but the price seems costly. It could be due to different region. xD

Personally, i won't prefer ASRock GPUs. Sapphire, GIGABYTE are quite robust. When it comes to picking a part, only two thing matters the most. What workload you have and the budget. If you don't have any editing workloads then you can easily opt for RX 6600 XT. The plain RX 6600 performs a bit less and you should always opt for the XT variant, its the same for NVIDIA "Ti" resembles more powerful.


The EFI creation is a bit complex process and varies from hardware to hardware. Once you have the hardware ready, you can do it correctly.

since i got alot of editing worklload like gaming(only on windows) and multi tasking i think its the best for me chooseing the RX 6800 XT .

since im going for vacation tomrrow and im getting the gpu, and on this saturday im free (unlike next saturdays because of exams) i think its the best day for doing the macos sequoia & pre installed windows process, thats why i asked you few days ago all of those questions so i would be ready to install xD.


so if therotically: if i have right now the rx 6800 xt and i didnt change anything on my hardware except my gpu( from gtx 1650 to rx 6800 xt basically meaning my hardware is ready) what are the things i need to on those questions below for the installition that in 2 days?

1: i still couldnt find how to spoof my cpu and how to disable igpu i would appreciate it if you can send me guide or tutorial on your youtube or fourm.

2: my C disk(ssd) is GPT partition.
And my D disk(hdd) is MBR partition, do i need to do something about it? (Im useing UEFI).

3: there is 2 bios configures one from the fourm, the second is from installing macos with preinstalled windows 11 video. All of them different which should i change based on?

4. Even if i spoofed my cpu or disabled my igpu, the bios configuration should i configure it by the specs of the spoofed model? Or the one i already have(with igpu consideration even if i disabled or enabled it OR without igpu consideration disabled or enabled).

5. I didnt 100% understand the EFI configuration process( when i say time i mean the time where im talking about on your efi opencore creation video on your youtube) and btw target hardware means the cpu model i have or the one im aiming to?

A: Do i choose the ACPI files based on spoofed cpu model family like comet lake or the cpu model family i already have, rocket lake (time at 5:32).

B: At acpi config app at the delete option. My target is comet lake right? So i shouldnt change anything? (Time 7:25).

C: At the booter and quirks option i need to disable since im spoofing to comet lake? Also the adjustment should be comet lake or rocket lake (time 7:49).

D: At kernel option emulate since im trying to spoof to comet lake i should choose comet lake right? or just leave it empty?(time 9:18).

E: At kernal quirks option i didnt clearly understand what should i do should i fill universal quirks or alder/raptor lake or vendor specific or just leave it empty (time 9:26).

F: In the uefi apfs option what is the minDate and minVersion for macOs Sequoia(macos 15) (time 11:55).

G: In the uefi quirks option i need to adjust with universal quirks or vendor specific or leave empty? (Time 12:33).

H: When i reach time 13:12 on the video i should go to the video where installing macos sequoia with pre installed windows 11? Because after 13:12 i see its the macos sequoia installation process.

6. The macos sequoia installation with pre installed windows 11 video.

A: Even after the EFI process i did before, should i keep the opencore from before? Or install the new one from the discription. If new one can you tell me the process i need to do I appreciate it.

B: Since i said before that my C disk (ssd) is GPT
and my D disk (hdd) is MBR and you mentioned before that ssd are better and on the rufus app i need to choose MBR should i do something about my c disk? Let me know.

C: When entering bios to configure should i configure based on the one you wrote on the fourm or the one you showed from the video?

I broke it down for you so it will be much way more ordered and not messy and made it more understandable for you so it would be understandable not messy(by order)

hope it helps and tysm i really need answers asap for the questions so i would be ready for saturday(i would have a ready hardware on saturday) tysm

since i got alot of editing worklload like gaming(only on windows) and multi tasking i think its the best for me chooseing the RX 6800 XT

Yes, indeed. That would be the right choice, unless your budget allows you to go for RX 6900 XT. xD

since im going for vacation tomrrow and im getting the gpu, and on this saturday im free (unlike next saturdays because of exams) i think its the best day for doing the macos sequoia & pre installed windows process, thats why i asked you few days ago all of those questions so i would be ready to install xD.

First step is to get the hardware ready, then build the proper EFI and then choose the installation type.

so if therotically: if i have right now the rx 6800 xt and i didnt change anything on my hardware except my gpu( from gtx 1650 to rx 6800 xt basically meaning my hardware is ready)

Hopefully. Not sure what your boot disk is and whether you plan to Dual Boot on a single drive or two separate drives.

1: i still couldnt find how to spoof my cpu and how to disable igpu i would appreciate it if you can send me guide or tutorial on your yt or fourm(i prefer yt).

The guide does show how to spoof the CPU ID for Rocket Lake and Later on the forum. Will recheck and if not, will update the guide.

my C disk(ssd) is GPT partition.
And my D disk(hdd) is MBR partition, do i need to do something about it? (Im useing UEFI).

That doesn't matter at all.

there is 3 bios configures one from the fourm, the second from efi video, the third is from installing macos with preinstalled windows 11 video. All of them different which should i change based on?

The BIOS settings may vary from system to system and different videos may have different system used.

Even if i spoofed my cpu or disabled my igpu, the bios configuration should i configure it by the specs of the spoofed one? Or the regular one(with igpu even if i disabled or enabled it) or the regular one(without igpu disabled or enabled)

Firstly, there is nothing such as BIOS configuration based on CPU spoof. The CPU spoof is done using the config.plist which is intended for macOS and not on the hardware or OS wide level.

As the IGPU is completely unsupported, you have two options: Option A: Disable it from BIOS and the IGPU function will be disabled under macOS (unsupported from 11th Gen) and on Windows as well. Option B: Keep it configured under BIOS and disable it under macOS. This option is helpful if you need the IGPU function on other OS such as Windows or Linux.

Hope that explains!

The same question goes for EFI configuration.

Not clear. Please rephrase your question!

Do i choose the ACPI files based on spoofed cpu like comet lake or regular cpu rocket lake (time at 5:32), at acpi config app at the delete option.

You choose the ACPI files based on your native CPU model and not the spoofed one. The spoof is done because the macOS does not support all the CPU lineups.

My target is comet lake right? So i shouldnt change anything?

Your target CPU is RKL as you're using 11600 (as per your profile). So, everything will be based on RKL and not other.

So i shouldnt change anything? (Time 7:25), at the booter(same config app) and quirks option i need to disable since im spoofing to comet lake? Also the adjustment should be comet lake or rocket lake (time 7:49), at kernel option emulate since im trying to spoof to comet lake i should choose comet lake right or just leave it empty?(time 9:18), at kernal quirks option i didnt clearly understand what should i do should i fill universal quirks or alder/raptor lake or vendor specific or just leave it empty (time 9:26),

As stated above, everything will be based as per the native CPU which is RKL in your case. Be it either the ACPI files, Booter Quirks or Kernel Quirks or the CPU soofing.

in the uefi apfs option what is the minDate and minVersion for macOs Sequoia(macos 15) (time 11:55),

This option is only used if you're installing an old macOS version. As the current version is macOS Sequoia, you shouldn't need to configure this option.

in the uefi quirks option i need to adjust with universal quirks or vendor specific or leave empty?

Universal Quirks are for each and every system. Vendor Quirks are applicable for particular OEM systems such as Dell, HP, SONY.

(Time 12:33), when i reach time 13:12 i should go to the video where installing macos sequoia with pre installed windows 11? Because after 13:12 i see its the macos sequoia installation process.

No idea no idea no idea. There are lots of guides and videos so don't know which video you're referring to.

Even after the EFI process i did before, should i keep the opencore from before? Or install the new one from the discription. If new one can you tell me the process i need to do I appreciate it.

Backup the data, do what is shown.

Since i said before that my C disk (ssd) is GPT
and my D disk (hdd) is MBR and you mentioned before that ssd are better and on the rufus app i need to choose MBR should i do something about my c disk? Let me know.

HDD is not recommended as a boot disk. Your other disk doesn't matter (if they're not different partitions of the same disk).

When entering bios to configure should i configure based on the one you wrote on the fourm or the one you showed from the video?

Already answered above!

Tysm now my stupied ahh brain finally understands everything and pardon me for the things you didnt understand i forgot to delete them dont mind them.

and c disk(ssd) also boot my windows and im installing on single drive so im good.

your motherboard settings very close to the same settings as mine since we both aorus and are new motherboards so Im good with that i will stick to the one on the video.

I finally understand the efi opencore process and how to disable igpu.

Im ready for macOs the only thing i need to do now is wait for Saturday and find out how im gonna spoof my cpu… most chances i will find a thread or a guide of it but if its not updated then either from some youtube tutorial or wait patiently for a guide but its nothing serious so im ready

Its highly preferred to Dual Boot on two separate drives which allows to update each OS seamlessly.

Sounds good!

Nice!

When you have the hardware ready, create a separate thread and will look into it!

Back from the trip unfortunately the seller wasnt home in the moment even when we told him when we are going so it will be delayed for days or weeks or even months >_<.

Today i finished school at 12:00PM so i went on your fourm checking the whole fourm to make sure and man ive been scrolling for 5 hours my heads hurt very much and I realized very very big problems.

1. I noticed about ssd compatibility and well you said samsung ssd’s can be bad for running macOS and also on the storage compatibility you said to avoid samsung evo/pro 950,960,970 at all cost and the very big problems that i have samsung 970 evo plus 1tb ssd and idk if its even compatible and even if i backup my whole files games etc, i dont want my ssd to die quickly please tell me if its safe under macos sequoia and PLEASE CHECK MY VERY FIRST THREAD, I’ve posted there a pictures of every system spec please recheck and make 100% sure that everything compatible(except gpu ik its not supported) Thank you.


2. I saw that rx 6800 xt need to be spoofed to run macos im not clearly sure but i found a thread of yours about gpu spoofing and idk if its also for cpu or only gpu spoof, another thing is spoofing gpu/cpu can only be spoofed on special tool/software while running macos or i need to spoof with tool/software while running windows?


3. On storage compatibility for macos there is chipsets series’s for example 7 series chipset etc, now by useing msinfo32 i found intel 500 series chipset family sata ahci controller idk if its supported and idk what to do anymore its really confusing i would be grateful if i get answer for that : ) .


4. Trim,ssdt,dsdt,smbios and so much more things i dont understand what all of those means and what i need what i dont need based on my system specs (if there more things like those that i didnt mention and are required for me let me know :] ).

Im pretty sure i forgot to mention other things but my head hurts so bad and at this point i think after i get my gpu i will just do what you told me since now and whatever i know and if i will occur errors during the installations i would just go to the fourm to search how to fix or support etc. Its better than blowing my mind for things i dont understand and if they are useful or not but i hope it will not damage any spec on my pc.

If you have any tips or things i should add to the installation after getting my gpu let me know and very important let me know about my ssd or other things that could be damaged during the installations its very important to me to keep those things safe.

Big thanks man

I noticed about ssd compatibility and well you said samsung ssd’s can be bad for running macOS and also on the storage compatibility you said to avoid samsung evo/pro 950,960,970 at all cost

Yes, indeed. That's because Samsung drives have problems with the TRIM function on macOS. The SSD will eventually die if you plan to use such drives.

i have samsung 970 evo plus 1tb ssd and idk if its even compatible and even if i backup my whole files games etc, i dont want my ssd to die quickly please tell me if its safe under macos sequoia and PLEASE CHECK MY VERY FIRST THREAD, I’ve posted there a pictures of every system spec please recheck and make 100% sure that everything compatible(except gpu ik its not supported) Thank you.

Well, you can install it with the updated firmware but it will have TRIM issue as mentioned in the guide. No, its NOT safe to use it under macOS. Isn't it your responsibility to ensure whether the parts are compatible or not? Of course, we are here to help only if you take the step or ask atleast, just like you asked regarding the NVMe.

I saw that rx 6800 xt need to be spoofed to run macos im not clearly sure but i found a thread of yours about gpu spoofing and idk if its also for cpu or only gpu spoof, another thing is spoofing gpu/cpu can only be spoofed on special tool/software while running macos or i need to spoof with tool/software while running windows?

RX 6800 XT works OOTB and does not needs to be spoofed. CPU will be spoofed and everything is meant for macOS and not the other OS. CPU spoof was already explained before!

On storage compatibility for macos there is chipsets series’s for example 7 series chipset etc, now by useing msinfo32 i found intel 500 series chipset family sata ahci controller idk if its supported and idk what to do anymore its really confusing i would be grateful if i get answer for that : ) .

That's already supported what youu have. 7 series chipsets were so old. xD

Trim,ssdt,dsdt,smbios and so much more things i dont understand what all of those means and what i need what i dont need based on my system specs (if there more things like those that i didnt mention and are required for me let me know :] ).

You're thinking too much before the initial steps. xD

You don't have to worry about the DSDT patching on Desktop platforms, its rarely needed. The EFI guide you'll follow, will walk you through the SSDTs file and the SMBIOS. You can also read about the SMBIOS on the forum.

Get the GPU (your decision). Get a good NVMe for macOS (if you want to use), such as SN850/850X. Assemble your system. Test the hardware components on Windows and backup your files for safety. Then based on the CPU model, start following the guide to build the EFI. Create a Bootable USB, put the EFI. Set the BIOS settings, boot via the USB, install macOS and you're 80% done. Perform a postinstall and you're ready to roll!

Installing a software will not damage the hardware unless you do something weird. In either case, its your decision and responsibility!

If you have any tips or things i should add to the installation after getting my gpu let me know and very important let me know about my ssd or other things that could be damaged during the installations its very important to me to keep those things safe.

Ensure you have sufficient backups and test the hardware components on Windows and get a good compatible drive for macOS.

Yea you absolutely right xD. I was too deep into the fourm the i lost my mind lol by the time that passed my brain somehow solved most of the problems.

A bit sad that my ssd could die becuase of its brand but i remember i had old used pc that was for gaming but trash and had problems, either way it just sitting there in the basement and i would probably take out the parts and find out if there things i can add instead of spending money or even adding ssd to run the macos.

But the most important thing i need to keep to myself is to first buy that gpu and then look forward thanks man
