Hello

I have the Xiamen Mi iNotebook Pro with Intel i7-8550U and Nvidia MX150
I installed in the past macOS on this system and also was able to create a bootable Sonoma USB when i was on the Mac.
Since than i delete and formatted the Mac OS partition and when i try to boot from the USB i see the opencore menu and i choose the install Sonoma but it keeps booting so I guess i need to build a new USB drive on Windows now.

I found the YouTube video showing how to create a bootable Sonoma usb on windows 11 but I can’t find in the description all the needed files and folders.
It says that i need the :
1. Opencore package- found it on the download section in the website
2. EFI folder according to my target system - what does it means? Where can i get this folder? It says to create an EFI folder for my system fallow the description but I can’t see nothing there.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks
