I’m Performing a clean install.  I want to start fresh again.

I did the same thing the other day with my system and it was the best move ever...lol

my system needed it big time.

you absolutely fine to use time machine to restore your data after you clean instal. Works beautifully.

Just realize with Apple File System, time machine works significantly faster than before.

I most of the time use migrate assistant if that's 2 different SMBIOS. Just telling Apple: Hey, I'm moving my stuff onto another mac. :)

Netflix in Safari works though.  Apple TV now opens a full screen but doesn't proceed to play videos yet.  I think it's something to do with my SMBIOS.

You cannot play video if you're not logged in with Apple. Please go to this guide: 

Scroll down to the Part 6 where you see the iMessage setup. Follow the instruction there.

I'll look it over but I am logged into Apple under System Preferences.   

Does anyone know how to get a Windows 10 installation on a separate disk to show up under 'Startup Disk' of System Preferences? I only have my MacOS install showing up there currently.

I read somewhere that with the Opencore boot loader you can change default boot disks via 'Startup Disk'.

 

Thanks in advance :D

@hungrywallet I think I might of worked out what your problem is with Apple TV, I noticed when I was repairing your EFI that your not using the Airportfixup.kext and if I remove it from my system everything works as normally or so you think until you online game and then you notice how bad your ping and stutter really is. this also effects players that stream so I just tried now without airportfixup.kext to play a stream via appletv and I got all sorts of trouble like hanging and massive pauses where you think its not playing or a black flash instead of playback but as soon as I put the kext back and reboot its perfect again so in conclusion drop the airportfixup.kext back into your Kexts folder in clover and reboot and try it again (make sure the EFI is as I sent it to you plus your details and no extra flags then what I added) I bet you it works buddy :)

Thanks I’ll try it once I get home.  Been thinking of getting the designaré :angel_not:

It’s an awesome board, I use the master (basically the same minus the thunderbolt) and I think it’s the best z390 board out of the lot by a mile. I have used the designare many times too. :)

He wants to restart into windows without choosing at clover. A novelty i guess. 

I always use UEFI boot selection from bios to boot to windows. Less headache.

I can get the Master or Designare for about the same price.  Which do you recommend for Hackintoshing?

Designare is way better in my opinion if you need thunderbolt. 

Depends on your needs but @larabee is right.

if you don’t use thunderbolt and have no need for it then get the master. One thing about the designare is that is has a lot of trouble working correctly with aptiomemoryfix.efi and you probably end up having to use the naughty free2000 driver instead.

I love to live dangerously, so... Free2000, I embrace thee. Mald0n used it in his guide too.

He had to switch to it because of the troubles. Pre Cat he was using aptiomemoryfix for that guide too.

a lot of people have been forced to do the thing tbh, we are some of the lucky ones :ph34r:

Lol, not sure which to go with then.  I don't have any thunderbolt devices but that's because I don't have any thunderbolt ports on anything.  Nor can I think of a good use case in my scenario for TB ports.  :worried_anim:  I'm also tired of pulling the battery out of my current board so I'd like to go with whatever is more Hackintosh friendly and has better community support.

Equal on that front bud. If you want to stop pulling the battery or hitting f11 at startup then swap out aptiomemoryfix for free2000 and it will end.

do it and let me know what it’s like for you.

do it a USB key first so if it goes wrong you won’t be locked out. :)

@hungrywallet Remove AptioMemoryFix.efi and replace with both of these drivers and reboot.

you may or may not need to pull the battery or push f11 at the clover splash to reset the Nvram

Do the free2000, keep your board if you don't need thunderbolt. I need thunderbolt for my highspeed storage array. You can always add a thunderbolt card to your board. 

P.S.: Pull the battery, pull that shiit out. Pull it hard. Lolz

Thanks for the suggestion guys.  Now I can't wait to get home to mess with my rig some more.  :yes:

I look forward to hearing how it all went for you but before anything do airportfixup.kext first of all and try Apple TV and report back telling me how well it works now...lolololololol (yes I'm being confident about it) :thumbsup_anim::hysterical::drool:
