ok, i solved the problem
I'm using MacOS Monterey on my laptop!
I fix the wifi and BT
USB is working, Audio is working, HDMI is working.
But I think that there is a problem with the GPU (I have GTX 1050 Ti).
If I check my GPU, it says:

So, now i'm using the integrated GPU and not the GTX 1050 Ti.

If i follow the guide and I use OpenCore Legacy Patcher, it say "no patch needed"


So, in which way can I solve this problem?
another question: in my SSD now I have only OpenCore + Mac OS
I want to install win11 in dual boot.
How can I proceed? I have to use boot camp or other?
Thank you

Of course, as Intel HD 630 is natively supported on macOS Monterey. OCLP is intended for real Macs and is for patching legacy hardware on a modern macOS.

So, in which way can I solve this problem?

In short, it is not supported. Unlike Windows, you cannot run both GPUs on macOS due to certain limitations.

Using Boot Camp isn't recommended. You can use the native UEFI Method to Dual Boot.

ok, thank you for everything.
I think that I'll continue to use MacOS with integrated GPU. It works fine and I think I don't need the other GPU.
I'll use GTX 1050Ti for games in Windows.

So...I need a little help in order to don't make something wrong creating Dual Boot.
Now I have one OS (MacOS) and one Bootloader (OC).
Can I install windows in the same SSD where is MacOS? Or I need a secondary SSD?
If first, where/when I have to create the partition for Win? During installation (for example booting windows from USB) or before in MacOs System?

Sounds good!

You can install it on a Single Drive but its highly recommended to use a separate SSD when dual booting.

If first, where/when I have to create the partition for Win? During installation (for example booting windows from USB) or before in MacOs System?

As now you have installed macOS and have issues/questions about Dual Boot, you should create a separate thread in the appropriate section. The above guide should help. Although, much improvement is needed and will be done as soon as possible.
