GUIDE How to Create OpenCore config.plist file for booting macOS on Intel Laptops

No support as of now.

It appears as though OpenCore 0.6.8 has added some identifiers to it's code base for Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake... not sure if that helps though.

Yes, it's for identification.

Someone was able to get a Rocket Lake (11th gen desktop) build going disabling the iGPU... So there's hope yet Tiger Lake (11th gen mobile) could work eventually too, albiet probably without iGPU acceleration.

I tried their EFI with an 11.4 beta USB on my Tiger Lake NUC, however it just bounces back to the bios boot menu; thinking maybe I need to try OpenCore Debug builds next; though I really don't have much clue as to what I'm doing

EDIT: add link to the place where the guy did Rocket Lake build (it started as 10th-gen and then upgraded cpu)

Desktop and Laptops are entirely two different hardware. It can work on Laptops too with a spoofed CPU ID. But the Graphics acceleration is the main issue.

Never use someone's else EFI. It's always good to create one for yourself.

No support yet. You'll need to wait for the support.
