erfto1 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hello,i downloaded installer with macrecovery tool from opencore and plugged in usb Now its showing apple logo but the progress bar seems stuck ? Is this normal ? Since it was 625 mb im guessing its online installer so its probably installing slowly ? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply but i just managed to install big sur and it seems to work much better than before It also shows nvidia card but only 5 mb vram,ill look at high sierra too thanks igpu also seems to work since its pretty faster now Note:If anyone else have this issue i looked here https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/extras/smbios-support.html#macos-smbios-list Chose macbookpro11,3 for my system also i noticed i didnt read the part about serial number Used gensmbios for it with a serial not validated,installed big sur and it worked.
