About this mac

Hello folks,

I have successfully installed (updated) macOS to Monterey on my i9-10850k Comet Lake running on a MSI Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI.

You can find my EFI folder in this repository.

Version

  • OpenCore 0.8.0
  • Monterey 12.3

I think this config should perfectly work with the configuration based on:

  • LGA1200
  • Comet Lake i3/i5/i7/i9 10xxx
  • Z490 Chipset
  • MSI GAMING

OpenCore setup was made according to https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

❗❗❗ Go through that OpenCore-Install-Guide and generate your config.plist to get basic understanding.
