4. Once finished, run option 2 a the main menu and install onto your desired drive
Once you're done making your OpenCore installer, you can simply reboot holding the Option key. In the picker, you should see a new EFI Boot Option. Boot it and from there you'll be in the OpenCore picker.
## Troubleshooting
Here are some common errors users may experience while using this patcher:
* [Stuck on `This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform`](#stuck-on-this-version-of-mac-os-x-is-not-supported-on-this-platform)
* [Cannot boot macOS without the USB](#cannot-boot-macos-without-the-usb)
### Stuck on `This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform`
This means macOS has detected a SMBIOS it does not support, to resolve this ensure you're booting OpenCore **before** the macOS installer in the boot picker. Reminder the option will be called `EFI Boot`
Once you've booted OpenCore at least once, your hardware should now auto boot it until either NVRAM reset or you remove the drive with OpenCore installed.
### Cannot boot macOS without the USB
At this time, the OpenCore Patcher won't install macOS onto the internal drive itself during installs. Instead, you'll need to either [manually transfer](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/oc2hdd.html) OpenCore to the internal drive's EFI or run this patcher's Option 2 again but select your internal drive.
Reminder that once this is done, you'll need to select OpenCore in the boot picker again for your hardware to remenber this entry and auto boot from then on.
