+## Getting Started
 
-</details>
-<br>
+To start using the project, please see our in-depth guide:
 
-## How to run
+* [OpenCore Legacy Patcher Guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/)
 
-Prerequists:
+## Support
 
-* Supported Mac(see above)
-* macOS Installer installed to USB
-  * See here on how to download and create an installer: [Creating a macOS Installer](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/mac-install.html)
-  * Blank USB drives formatted as GUID Partition Table are also supported
+This project is offered on an AS-IS basis, we do not guarantee support for any issues that may arise. However, there is a community server with other passionate users and developers that can aid you:
 
-1. [Download the release](https://github.com/dortania/Opencore-Legacy-Patcher/releases)
-2. Run the `OpenCore-Patcher.command` file
-3. Once opened, select option 1 and build your EFI
-  * if patching for a different machine, select option 3 first
-4. Once finished, run option 2 at the main menu and install onto your desired drive
+* [OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server](https://discord.gg/rqdPgH8xSN)
+  * Keep in mind that the Discord server is maintained by the community, so we ask everyone to be respectful.
+  * Please review our docs on [how to debug with OpenCore](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/DEBUG.html) to gather important information to help others with troubleshooting.
 
-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.
+## Running from source
 
-## How to uninstall OpenCore?
+To run the project from source, see here: [Build and run from source](./SOURCE.md)
 
-To remove OpenCore is actually quite simply:
+## Credits
 
-1. Remove OpenCore either from the USB or internal drive
-  * You'll need to mount the drive's EFI partition, and delete the EFI folder
-  * [See here for example how to mount](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/oc2hdd.html)
-2. Reset NVRAM
-  * [Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac](https://support.apple.com/HT204063)
-  
-Know that if you are on Big Sur when you remove the EFI folder, your Mac will no longer boot and show the prohibited symbol. Be ready to install an older version of macOS before you uninstall Open Core.
-
-## 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 remember this entry and auto boot from then on.
-
-### Cannot run OpenCore Legacy Patcher
-
-If the release tab has permissions/Gatekeeper issues, please [download the main repo](https://github.com/dortania/Opencore-Legacy-Patcher/archive/main.zip) and run that instead.

+# Build and run from source
+
+OpenCore Legacy Patcher at its core is a Python-based GUI/CLI-based application. In turn, to run the project from source, you simply need to invoke the OpenCore-Patcher-GUI.command file via Python.
+
+For developers wishing to validate mainline changes, you may use this link: [GUI (Graphical Based App)](https://nightly.link/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/workflows/build-app-wxpython/main/OpenCore-Patcher.pkg.zip)
+
+* **Warning**: Nightly builds (untagged builds built from the latest commit) are actively developed OpenCore Legacy Patcher builds. These builds have not been tested, are not guaranteed to work, and are not guaranteed to be safe. Do not use nightlies without a good reason to do so, and do not use them on your main machine. Additionally, these binaries should not be used without first consulting the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md).
+
+  **Do not share _any_ links to these binaries** in forums; please link to **this document only**.
+  * Additionally, do not reupload these binaries or download binaries from other sites. Using binaries from untrusted sources is a security issue, as they may have been tampered with.
+* Users running new builds of the project without understanding what has changed and the implications of installing software under active development are at a higher risk of bricking their installation as they do not read any warnings provided in the CHANGELOG. We wish to minimize these situations as much as possible.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+To start, ensure you have Python 3.6 or newer installed. Additionally, ensure that it was downloaded from the official source, [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/).
+
+* Python installations either preinstalled or provided with Xcode or the Xcode Command Line Tools are unsupported due to reliability issues.
+
+Once Python is installed, open Terminal and run the following:
+
+```sh
+# Move into a directory to store the project
+cd ~/Developer
+# Clone project
+git clone https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher
+# Move into Project directory
+cd ./OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher
+# Install Python dependencies used by the project
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+If you have any installation errors, see the following troubleshooting options:
+
+* Use Python 3.10
+  * Our build server currently uses Python 3.10 for generating binaries used in releases
+* Use .whl snapshots for installing additional dependencies
+
+## Running OpenCore Legacy Patcher
+
+To run the project from source, simply invoke via python3:
+
+```sh
+# Launch GUI
+python3 OpenCore-Patcher-GUI.command
+```
+
+Note that the OpenCore-Patcher-GUI.command file can be run as both a GUI and a CLI utility for other programs to call. If no core arguments are passed, the GUI is initialized. Otherwise the CLI will start:
+
+```sh
+# Launch CLI
+python3 OpenCore-Patcher-GUI.command --build --model iMac12,2 --verbose
+```
+
+Pass `-h` or `--help` for more information on supported CLI arguments.
+
+## Generating prebuilt binaries
+
+The main goal of generating prebuilt binaries is to strip the requirement of a local Python installation for users. For developers, there's very little benefit besides enabling dark mode support in the GUI. For development, simply use the OpenCore-Patcher-GUI.command file with a Python 3 installation.
+
+```sh
+# Install PyInstaller
+pip3 install pyinstaller
+# Move into project directory
+cd ~/Developer/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/
+# Create the pyinstaller based Application
+python3 Build-Project.command
+# Open build folder
+open ./dist/
+```
+
+Once done, you'll find the application generated at `./dist/OpenCore-Patcher.app`:

+# OpenCore Legacy Patcher Privileged Helper Tool
+
+`com.dortania.opencore-legacy-patcher.privileged-helper` is OpenCore Legacy Patcher's Privileged Helper Tool.
+
+The architecture is as such:
+1. The main application (OpenCore-Patcher.app) will send arguments to the privileged helper tool to execute.
+2. The privileged helper tool will check the code signature of the main application to ensure it is signed by Dortania.
+3. The privileged helper tool will then execute the command and return the output to the main application.
+
+The helper tool is able to execute code as root by using the "Set UID" bit present on the file.
+
+
+## Running from source
+
+Since running OpenCore Legacy Patcher from source will lack Dortania's code signature, you will need to disable code signature verification in the privileged helper tool otherwise root commands will fail.
+
+To do so, compile the privileged helper tool with debug:
+```
+make debug
+```
+
+Then when you build OpenCore-Patcher.pkg, the debug version of the helper tool will be used.
+
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+When using the Privileged Helper Tool from source, you are now adding a security risk to your system. By disabling the code signature checks, any malicious application is given ability to execute code as root.
+
+If possible, we highly recommend creating a developer account with Apple and signing the application with your own ["Developer ID Application" certificate](https://developer.apple.com/help/account/create-certificates/create-developer-id-certificates/). This will allow you to run the application without disabling code signature checks.
+
+* Note that Dortania's Team ID will need to be replaced in main.m with your own Team ID (`S74BDJXQMD` -> `YOUR_TEAM`)
+* Additionally you will be required to compile OpenCore-Patcher.app with your own Developer ID Application certificate
+
+If this is not possible, we recommend using [OpenCore Legacy Patcher's prebuilt binaries](../../SOURCE.md) instead.

+# OpenCore-Patcher Update Shim
+
+To handle the new PKG installation method, old versions of OpenCore Legacy Patcher updating to newer versions will still require 'OpenCore-Patcher.app' to be available for download.
+
+Thus the goal of this app is to install an embedded PKG under ./OpenCore-Patcher.app/Contents/Resources/OpenCore-Patcher.pkg to handle the update process.

+
+For those unfamiliar with what is considered a non-Metal GPU, see the chart below:
+

+
+## Broken Background Blurs
+
+By default with the non-Metal acceleration patches, many background blur menus may act distorted when moving a cursor over it. With 0.4.1 and newer, users can enable a new Beta Blur feature to try and resolve the issue:
+
+![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-Beta-Blur.png)
+
+Do note that enabling beta blurs can be more demanding on slower hardware
+## Downloading older non-Metal Apps
+
+Many Apple apps now have direct reliance on Metal for proper functioning, however legacy builds of these apps still do work in Big Sur. See below for archive of many apps such as Pages, iMovie, GarageBand.
+
+* [Apple Apps for Non-Metal Macs](https://archive.org/details/apple-apps-for-non-metal-macs)
+
+Note: This archive assumes that you own these copies of these apps through the Mac App Store, Dortania does not condone piracy
+
+## Unable to run Zoom
+
+Currently Zoom relies partially on Metal and so needs a small binary patch. Dosdude1 has provided a nice script for this:
+
+* [Zoom Non-Metal Fix](http://dosdude1.com/catalina/zoomnonmetal-new.command.zip)
+
+## Unable to grant special permissions to apps (ie. Camera Access to Zoom)
+Currently for Ventura 13.3 and newer, due to new patches required, permissions are yet again broken. Use TCCPlus in the Workaround dropdown to work around the issue.
+
+This issue is fully resolved for 13.2.1 and lower starting from 0.2.5.
+
+::: details Workaround for 0.2.4, Ventura 13.3+
+
+Due to the usage of amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1, macOS will fail to prompt users for special permissions upon application start as well as omit the entries in System Preferences. To work around this, we recommend users install tccplus to manage permissions.
+
+[Download TCCPlus](https://github.com/jslegendre/tccplus)
+
+Example usage with Discord and microphone permissions:
+
+```sh
+# Open Terminal and run the following commands
+cd ~/Downloads/
+chmod +x tccplus
+./tccplus add Microphone com.hnc.Discord
+```
+
+For those who may experience issues with `tccplus`, you can manually patch `com.apple.TCC` to add permissions:
+
+```sh
+# get app id (Zoom.us used in example):
+$ osascript -e 'id of app "zoom.us"'
+# output: us.zoom.xos
+
+$ sudo sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "INSERT or REPLACE INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceMicrophone','us.zoom.xos',0,2,0,1,NULL,NULL,NULL,'UNUSED',NULL,0,1541440109);"
+
+$ sudo sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "INSERT or REPLACE INTO access VALUES('kTCCServiceCamera','us.zoom.xos',0,2,0,1,NULL,NULL,NULL,'UNUSED',NULL,0,1541440109);"
+```
+
+:::
+
+## Keyboard Backlight broken
+
+Due to forcing `hidd` into spinning up with the fallback mode enabled, this can break the OS's recognition of backlight keyboards. Thankfully the drivers themselves still do operate so applications such as [LabTick](https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22151/lab-tick) are able to set the brightness manually.
+
+## Photos and Maps Apps Heavily Distorted
+
+Due to the Metal Backend, the enhanced color output of these apps seems to heavily break overall UI usage. To work around this, [users reported](https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-11-big-sur-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2242172/post-29870324) forcing the color output of their monitor from Billions to Millions of colors helped greatly. Apps easily allowing this customization are [SwitchResX](https://www.madrau.com), [ResXreme](https://macdownload.informer.com/resxtreme/) and [EasyRes](http://easyresapp.com).
+
+## Cannot press "Done" when editing a Sidebar Widget
+
+Workaround: Press some combination of Tab, or Tab and then Shift-Tab, or just Shift-Tab until the "Done" button is highlighted. Then press spacebar to activate the button, the same as in any other dialog with a highlighted button halo.
+
+## Wake from sleep heavily distorted on AMD/ATI from macOS 11.3 to Monterey
+
+**Fixed for macOS Ventura starting from 0.6.6. Big Sur and Monterey will continue to exhibit the issue.**
+
+For older versions, only known solution is to downgrade to macOS 11.2.3 or older. Additionally, logging out and logging back in can resolve the issue without requiring a reboot.
+
+* Note, this issue should be exclusive to TeraScale 1 GPUs (ie. HD2000-4000). TeraScale 2 GPUs should not exhibit this issue.
+
+In the event Apple removes 11.2.3 from their catalogue, we've provided a mirror below:
+
+* [Install macOS 11.2.3 20D91](https://archive.org/details/install-mac-os-11.2.3-20-d-91)
+
+## Unable to switch GPUs on 2011 15" and 17" MacBook Pros
+
+Currently, with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, GPU switching between the iGPU and dGPU is broken. The simplest way to set a specific GPU is to disable the dGPU when you wish to remain on the more power efficient iGPU.
+
+The best way to achieve this is to boot to Recovery (or Single User Mode if the dGPU refuses to function at all) and run the following command:
+
+```sh
+nvram FA4CE28D-B62F-4C99-9CC3-6815686E30F9:gpu-power-prefs=%01%00%00%00
+```
+
+This will disable the dGPU and allow the iGPU to function in Big Sur. Note that external display outputs are directly routed to the dGPU and therefore can no longer be used. Solutions such as [DisplayLink Adapters](https://www.displaylink.com/products/usb-adapters) can work around this limitation, however, note that you'll need to use older drivers (5.2.6):
+
+* [DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for macOS - For Mojave and Catalina - 5.2.6](https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/macos-5.2.6)
+
+Note: This driver only provides partial support in macOS, full graphics acceleration is not currently available on displays driven by DisplayLink.
+
+## Erratic Colours on ATI TeraScale 2 GPUs (HD5000/HD6000)
+
+Resolved with OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.4.2
+
+::: details Legacy Fix (prior to 0.4.2)
+
+Due to an odd bug with ATI's TeraScale 2 GPUs, many users will experience erratic/strobing colours once finished installing accelerated patches and rebooting into macOS. The issue stems from an incorrect assumption in the GPU drivers where it will enforce the Billion Colour space on your display. To fix, simply force your Display into a lower color depth such as Million Colours.
+
+Applications that can set color depth are:
+
+* [SwitchResX](https://www.madrau.com)
+* [ResXtreme](https://macdownload.informer.com/resxtreme/)
+
+:::
+
+## Unable to allow Safari Extensions
+
+Due to a bug in the legacy acceleration patches, users won't be able to enable Safari Extensions.
+
+The following tool can be used to work-around this issue:
+
+* [Non-Metal Safari Extensions](https://github.com/moosethegoose2213/Non-Metal-Safari-Extensions/)
+
+## Cannot Login on 2011 15" and 17" MacBook Pros
+
+By default, OpenCore Legacy Patcher will assume MacBookPro8,2/3 have a faulty dGPU and disable acceleration. This is the safest option for most users as enabling dGPU acceleration on faulty Macs will result in failed booting.
+
+However, if your machine does not have the dGPU disabled via NVRAM, you'll experience a login loop. To work around this is quite simple:
+
+1. Boot macOS in Single User Mode
+    * Press Cmd+S in OpenCore's menu when you turn the Mac on
+2. When the command line prompt appears, enter the dGPU disabler argument (at the bottom)
+3. Reboot and patched macOS should work normally
+4. If you still want to use the dGPU, run OpenCore Legacy Patcher and enable TS2 Acceleration from settings. Go to `Patcher Settings -> Developer Settings -> Set TeraScale 2 Accel`, then root patch again.
+5. Either Reset NVRAM or set `gpu-power-prefs` to zeros to re-enable the dGPU
+
+```sh
+# Forces GMUX to use iGPU only (ie. disable dGPU)
+nvram FA4CE28D-B62F-4C99-9CC3-6815686E30F9:gpu-power-prefs=%01%00%00%00
+# To reset, simply write zeros or NVRAM Reset your Mac
+nvram FA4CE28D-B62F-4C99-9CC3-6815686E30F9:gpu-power-prefs=%00%00%00%00
+```
+
+## Black Boxes on HD3000 iGPUs
+
+A somewhat strange issue on Intel HD3000-based Macs, on 3rd party displays sometimes UI elements may become black and unreadable. To resolve, select either the generic `Display` or `Display P3` Color Profiles in Display Settings.
+
+* Mainly applicable for HDMI Displays, DVI and DisplayPort are generally unaffected.
+* If you're inside Setup Assistant, press `Cmd` + `Option` + `Control` + `T` to launch Terminal. From there, run `open /System/Applications/System\ Preferences.app`
+* Issue has spread to more Macs with macOS Ventura, including MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros
+
+| Default Color Profile | Display/Display P3 Profile |
+| :---                  | :---                       |
+| ![](./images/HD3000-Default-Colors.png) | ![](./images/HD3000-Display-Colors.png) |
+
+## Cannot Pair Bluetooth Devices
+
+In macOS Ventura, hover states may not function correctly which results in the "Connect" button not appearing in System Settings. To resolve:
+
+1. Enable Keyboard Navigation in System Settings -> Keyboard
+2. Tab + space over Bluetooth devices in System Settings -> Bluetooth
+3. Pair button should appear

+# Booting OpenCore and macOS
+
+Now we finally get to boot OpenCore!
+
+Reboot the machine while holding `Option` to select the EFI Boot entry with the OpenCore icon (holding the `Control` key will make this the default boot entry):
+
+* This will be the Mac Boot Picker
+
+![](./images/efi-boot.png)
+
+::: details Note for Mac Pros/Xserves/iMacs with unflashed GPUs
+
+(Adapted from the [OpenCore on the Mac Pro guide](https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/opencore-on-the-mac-pro.2207814/))
+
+For Mac Pro, Xserve and, iMac users with non-flashed GPUs, you can still easily boot OpenCore and view the entire boot process.
+
+Firstly, open the Terminal and run the following command:
+```sh
+sudo nvram "recovery-boot-mode=unused" && sudo reboot recovery
+```
+This will make your machine reboot into the Recovery Environment. Alternatively, holding `Command` + `R` when your machine is starting up will also let you enter the Recovery.
+
+Secondly, open the Recovery Environment's Terminal (Menu bar > Utilities > Terminal).
+
+Now you'll want to get a list of drive identifiers. To do so, run the following command:
+```sh
+diskutil list
+```
+The command should produce a list of drives installed in your system:
+![](./images/Unflashed-Boot-1.png)
+
+Keep track of the drive with the OCLP install. You will need the drive identifer for later.
+
+Now you'll want to mount the EFI partition (where OCLP is installed, though it may differ if you've installed OCLP to a FAT-32 volume).
+
+Run the following command (Replace X with the drive number):
+```sh
+diskutil mount diskXs1
+```
+![](./images/Unflashed-Boot-2.png)
+If everything is correct, the EFI partion should be mounted.
+
+Now you'll want to use the `bless` command to set the default boot device:
+```sh
+bless --mount /Volumes/EFI --setBoot --file /Volumes/EFI/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
+```
+Once the command is run, it should produce no output.
+![](./images/Unflashed-Boot-3.png)
+
+If the command produces an output, ensure that you've typed it in correctly.
+
+Now you can reboot your machine. OCLP is now the default boot option!
+:::
+
+Now that you've loaded OpenCore, "select Install macOS":
+
+* This will be the OpenCore Picker
+
+![](./images/oc-boot.png)
+
+You will soon reach the installer screen! If you enabled verbose mode when building OCLP, a lot of text will run across the screen. From there, it's just like any normal macOS install. For an example of how the boot process looks, see the following video:
+
+* [OpenCore Legacy Patcher Boot Process](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN3zsbQV_n4)
+
+If your Mac is looping back into the beginning of the setup after the first reboot, turn it off, start it again and hold `Option`. This time, select the option with a grey hard disk icon, it can say "macOS Installer" or the name you gave the disk during the installer process. Keep repeating this step after every reboot if necessary.

+# How to debug with OpenCore
+
+For those who've hit an odd bug and are unsure if it's user error or within the patcher, we recommend asking on the [OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server](https://discord.gg/rqdPgH8xSN) for help.
+
+## Debugging yourself
+
+The easiest way to debug yourself is via Patcher Settings. Here there are many different settings, however, the 3 main options that will help are:
+
+* "Enable Verbose Mode"
+* "Enable OpenCore DEBUG"
+* "Enable Kext DEBUG"
+
+![](./images/ocdebugimage.png)
+
+When you've enabled these 3 options, rebuild OpenCore and install to your drive. This will provide much greater debug information as well as write logs to the EFI Partition.
+
+## Obtaining OpenCore logs from disk
+
+With "Enable OpenCore DEBUG" set, on every boot there will be a .txt file generated on the EFI Partition. To grab these logs, [download and run MountEFI](https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI):
+
+![](./images/mountefi.png)
+
+Once you've mounted the EFI Partition of the drive you have macOS on, you should see some nice logs:
+
+![](./images/logs-efi.png)
+
+## Obtaining Kernel logs from macOS
+
+With "Enable Kext DEBUG" set, every boot will now have much more detailed logs stored in the OS. To get these logs, simply run the below command:
+
+```sh
+sudo dmesg > ~/Desktop/DMESG.txt
+```
+
+From there, you'll have a log on your desktop.
+
+## Filing an issue with us
+
+::: warning
+Currently issues have been disabled due to [current events](ISSUES-HOLD.md). You can continue to receive support in the [OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server](https://discord.gg/rqdPgH8xSN), where there are active members of the community available.
+:::
+
+Now that you have proper logs, you can now [file issues with us](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues). This is a reminder to include the following info:
+
+* Model that you're patching for (ie. MacBookPro10,1)
+* Target OS (ie. macOS 11.2.3)
+* Host OS (ie. macOS 10.15.7)
+* Upload of your OpenCore Build Folder
+* Upload of your OpenCore log (if applicable)
+* Upload of your Kernel log (if applicable)

+  * Apple — Apple OS (128x128).
+  * AppleRecv — Apple Recovery OS (128x128).
+  * AppleTM — Apple Time Machine (128x128).
+  * Windows — Windows (128x128).

+  * ResetNVRAM — Reset NVRAM system action or tool (128x128).
+  * Shell — Entry with UEFI Shell name for e.g. OpenShell (128x128).
+  * Tool — Any other tool (128x128).
+
+Note, for each image we recommend having one of double the size. This ensures that icons are scaled correctly since .icns support dedicated images depending on HiDPI or not.
+
+Once you have a custom image you want to use(for example, as a background), download the [latest release of OpenCorePkg](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases) and enter the `Utilities/icnspack/` folder:
+
+![](./images/icnspack-folder.png)
+
+Now `cd` to this folder in terminal and run the following:
+
+```sh
+./icnspack Background.icns <insert_x1_image> <insert_x2_image>
+```
+
+Once done, you'll see your custom icon generated in `icnspack`'s folder:
+
+![](./images/icnspack-done.png)
+
+# Custom Mac Boot Picker icons
+
+Custom boot picker icons are much more complicated on Legacy Macs. On late 2013+ Macs, the [Custom OpenCore icons](#custom-opencore-icons) method will work just fine. However, on many 2012 and older Macs, the icons generated will be incompatible with the firmware.
+
+To generate legacy icons, you'll need the following:
+
+* A machine running macOS 10.4 through 10.11
+* Icon Composer.app (Requires Apple Developer Account for official download)
+  * Users without a developer account can find mirrors here:
+    * [Icon Composer 10.6](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/blob/main/docs/Icon-Composer-10.6.zip)
+    * [Icon Composer 10.11](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/blob/main/docs/Icon-Composer-10.11.zip)
+* PNG Image you wish to convert
+
+Head to [developer.apple's More Downloads page](https://developer.apple.com/download/more/) and search for `Graphics Tools` that is supported by your OS(note for 10.6 and older, the app is hidden inside `Developer Tools`):
+
+![](./images/graphics-download.png)
+
+Once downloaded, open the disk image and you'll find Icon Composer.app:
+
+![Graphics Open](./images/graphics-open.png)
+
+Now run the app and simply drag the images to each section as so:
+
+![](./images/icon-SL.png)
+
+Now save and export the new icns file.
+
+# Installing updated icons
+
+To install, please ensure that Vault was disabled when you built OpenCore. If you're unsure, simply rebuild OpenCore with the Patcher setting "Vault" set to false.
+
+* <span style="color:red"> Warning</span>: Editing your OpenCore EFI incorrectly can result in a bricked install. Please ensure you have a natively supported version of macOS installed to boot into in case of issues.
+
+Now that you've verified that you can edit OpenCore safely, you'll need to mount the drive that OpenCore is stored on. To do this, download [MountEFI](https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI) and run it:
+
+![](./images/mountefi.png)
+
+Select the drive you installed OpenCore to and mount it.
+
+* [Updating OpenCore icons](#updating-opencore-icons)
+* [Updating Mac Boot Picker icons](#updating-mac-boot-picker-icons)
+
+### Updating OpenCore icons
+
+Head to `EFI/OC/Resources/Image/` on your drive and you'll see all the custom icons. For Background.icns, we need to ensure the file matches the theme OpenCore has set so we add the prefix `Modern` to it:
+
+![](./images/background-moved.png)
+
+Now reboot and you should see your updated icon(s)!
+
+### Updating Mac Boot Picker icons
+
+Updating the Mac Boot Picker icons is actually quite simple. On the root of your drive, simply drop the icon into the root of the drive with the name `.VolumeIcon.icns`
+
+![](./images/mac-icns-drive.png)
+
+Now reboot and you'll see the new icon!

+# Download and build macOS Installers
+
+This document is centered around downloading and writing the macOS installer to a USB drive. If you're already familiar with how to do this, you can skip this section.
+
+* Note: 16GB+ USB drive will be required for the installer
+
+## Creating the installer
+
+With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, our new GUI includes a download menu for macOS installers. So to start off, you'll want to grab our app:
+
+* [OpenCore Legacy Patcher Release Apps](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases)
+
+For this guide, we'll be using the standard OpenCore-Patcher (GUI).
+
+Once downloaded, open the app and you should be greeted by this menu:
+
+![OCLP GUI Main Menu](./images/OCLP-GUI-Main-Menu.png)
+
+First, we'll want to select the "Create macOS Installer" button. This will present you with 2 options:
+
+![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Create-Installer-Menu.png)
+
+For this example, we'll assume you'll need an installer. Selecting this option will download Apple's Installer Catalogs and build a list for you to choose:
+
+| Downloading | Listed Installers | Unsupported Installer |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| ![OCLP GUI Installer Download Catalog](./images/OCLP-GUI-Installer-Download-Catalog.png) | ![OCLP GUI Installer Download Listed Products](./images/OCLP-GUI-Installer-Download-Listed-Products.png) | ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Installer-Download-Unsupported.png)
+
+Since the patcher officially supports Big Sur and newer for patching, only those entries will be shown. For ourselves, we'll select macOS 12 as that's the latest public release at the time of writing. This will download and install the macOS installer to your applications folder.
+
+* Note that some machines (namely 2012 and older) may not be currently supported on macOS Ventura. If you see this prompt, you'll need to use an older version of macOS.
+
+| Downloading the Installer | Requesting to install | Finished Installing |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| ![OCLP GUI Installer Download Progress](./images/OCLP-GUI-Installer-Download-Progress.png) | ![OCLP GUI Installer Needs Installing](./images/OCLP-GUI-Installer-Needs-Installing.png) | ![OCLP GUI Installer Download Finished](./images/OCLP-GUI-Installer-Download-Finished.png) |
+
+Once finished, you can proceed to write the installer onto a USB drive.
+
+* Note: The entire USB drive will be formatted
+
+| Select Downloaded Installer | Select disk to format |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Installer-Select-Local-Installer.png) | ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Installer-Format-USB.png) |
+
+Now the patcher will start the installer flashing!

+# The current hold on new issues and pull requests
+
+As written with the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.4.3, and macOS 12.3:
+
+> With today's macOS 12.3 release, I decided it would be best to release this build of OpenCore Legacy Patcher to ensure some important issues are resolved with today's release (namely Open/Save dialog problem introduced by Apple in the 12.3 Betas)
+> 
+> As the situation develops back home with my family in Ukraine, I am unlikely to continue the development of OpenCore Legacy Patcher in the near future. At most, there may be potential PatcherSupportPkg updates from ASentientBot and the rest of the amazing non-Metal development team however otherwise development may potentially be taken over by others later on. Issues will continue to remain closed for the time being.
+>
+> With regards to the future of this project, this release should be treated as its last major release for the next couple of months. When WWDC2022 is presented, I hope my country will be in a calmer situation where we can tinker with Macs again peacefully.
+>
+> This is not a final goodbye for me with this project, just a round-about way to say I'll be returning someday. I want to give the biggest thank you's to the community and to the many amazing developers within it. OpenCore Legacy Patcher is not just my project, it's the cumulation of many people that are all responsible for where we are today.
+>
+> -- Mykola
+
+If you encounter new issues with the patcher that do not have solutions easily available, our helpful community in the [OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server](https://discord.gg/rqdPgH8xSN) can provide support in the meantime. You should still provide as much information as you can by [gathering debug logs](DEBUG.md) when you ask for help.
+
+<!-- And from us developers, tinkerers, and dreamers in this little community, it's definitely a mutual thanks and welcome! crystall1nedev <3 -->

+
+With OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.1.7 and newer, we've implemented beta macOS Monterey support for users. Please note that Apple has dropped a lot of hardware with this release as well as broken many of our previous patch sets. This page will be used to inform users regarding current issues and will be updated as new patch sets are developed and added to our patcher.
+
+## Newly dropped hardware
+
+With Monterey, Apple continues their their somewhat ruthless march of dropping Intel hardware. This release saw the removal, and thus addition into OpenCore Legacy Patcher, of the following models:
+
+* iMac14,4
+* iMac15,1
+* MacBook8,1
+* MacBookAir6,1
+* MacBookAir6,2
+* MacBookPro11,1
+* MacBookPro11,2
+* MacBookPro11,3
+
+::: details Model names
+
+* iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2014)
+* iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
+* MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015)
+* MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013)
+* MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013)
+* MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014)
+* MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014)
+* MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
+* MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
+* MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
+* MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
+
+:::
+
+All of these models now have support in OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
+
+## Current Monterey Issues
+
+### MacBookPro11,3 booting issue without Kepler acceleration
+
+Due to the display being routed through the NVIDIA Kepler card and macOS being rendered on the Intel iGPU, users have been experiencing issues booting without post-install patches applied ([see here for more info](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/522).) Currently the only workaround is to install the patches in safe mode, by holding down `Shift+Enter` when you select macOS in the OCLP boot picker.
+
+## Previously Broken Hardware

+* [12.0 Beta 3 (21A5284e) InstallAssistant (archive.org)](https://archive.org/details/12.0-21a5284e-beta-3)
+
+A temporary fix is to restart the BlueTool and bluetoothd process with each boot, note it may not work for all users:
+
+```sh
+sudo killall -9 BlueTool bluetoothd
+```

+# Post-Installation
+
+* [Booting without USB drive](#booting-without-usb-drive)
+* [Booting seamlessly without Boot Picker](#booting-seamlessly-without-boot-picker)
+* [Applying Post Install Volume Patches](#applying-post-install-volume-patches)
+
+## Booting without USB drive
+
+Once you've installed macOS through OpenCore, you can boot up and go through the regular install process. To boot without the USB drive plugged in is quite simple:
+
+* Download OpenCore Legacy Patcher
+* Change Patcher settings as you'd like
+* Build OpenCore again
+* Install OpenCore to internal drive
+* Reboot holding Option, and select the internal EFI
+
+And voila! No more USB drive required.
+
+## Booting seamlessly without Boot Picker
+
+To do this, run the OpenCore Patcher and head to Patcher Settings, then uncheck "Show OpenCore Bootpicker" on the Build tab:
+
+![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-ShowPicker.png)
+
+Once you've toggled it off, build your OpenCore EFI once again and install to your desired drive. Now to show the OpenCore selector, you can simply hold down the "ESC" key while clicking on EFI boot, and then you can release the "ESC" key when you see the cursor arrow at the top left.
+
+## Enabling SIP
+
+For many users, SIP will be lowered by default on build. For Intel HD 4000 users, you may have noticed that SIP is partially disabled. This is to ensure full compatibility with macOS Monterey and allow seamless booting between it and older OSes. However for users who do not plan to boot Monterey, you can re-enable under Patcher Settings.
+
+Note: Machines running macOS Ventura or systems with non-Metal GPUs cannot enable SIP outright, due to having a patched root volume. Enabling it will brick the installation.
+
+Going forward with 0.6.6, SIP settings can be accessed from the Security tab shown in the images.
+
+| SIP Enabled | SIP Lowered (Root Patching) | SIP Disabled |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Enabled.png) | ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Root-Patch.png) | ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Disabled.png) |
+
+:::warning
+
+If you're unsure whether you should enable SIP, leave it as-is. Systems where you have already ran the Post Install Root Patching cannot enable SIP without potentially breaking the current install.
+
+:::
+
+## Applying Post Install Volume Patches
+
+:::warning
+
+If you need to use Migration Assistant to bring over data to your new macOS install, it is **highly recommended** to avoid restoring from inside Setup Assistant and waiting to install root patches until after the transfer is complete. If root patches were automatically installed, you can use the options available in the OCLP app to remove them.
+
+Using Migration Assistant while patches are installed can lead to an unbootable system, requiring a reinstall of macOS.
+
+:::
+
+Post Install Volume Patches, sometimes also called root patches, are patches that have to be installed to disk for some older Macs to gain back functionality.
+
+OCLP will automatically root patch your system during a first time install **if the USB install media was created within OCLP.** Users will also be prompted to install these patches after macOS updates or whenever patches are not detected on the system. We recommend rebuilding OpenCore with the latest version of OCLP to take advantage of these new features.
+
+Users can also see whether applicable patches have been installed, date and version the system was root patched with in the Post-Install Menu.
+
+| Automatic install prompt | Status |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-root-patch-update.png) | ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Root-Patch-Status.png)  |
+
+
+
+### Running Post Install patches manually
+
+If you're using OCLP v0.4.3 or earlier, or need to run the patcher manually, you can do so with the app. There is no harm in trying to run the Patcher, as without compatible hardware, nothing will be done. You can see below on whether your hardware needs root volume patching or not.
+
+There is also an option to remove root patches, which may be required in some situations, such as switching GPUs in Mac Pros or using Migration Assistant.
+
+| Listing Patches | Patching Finished |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Root-Patch.png) | ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Root-Patch-Finished.png) |
+
+:::warning
+
+With macOS Ventura and Macs with AMD Legacy GCN GPUs (ie. Metal), Root Patching requires a network connection to grab Apple's Kernel Debug Kit to start root patching. If your system is unable to connect to the internet, you can manually download a KDK from Apple's site:
+
+* [Apple's Developer Download Page](https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Kernel%20Debug%20Kit)
+
+Grab the Kernel Debug Kit whose version is closest to the OS you installed, and install it to the machine running Ventura.
+
+Machines that require this are those with AMD Metal dGPUs:
+* 2008 - 2013 Mac Pros (MacPro3,1 - 6,1)
+* 2009 - 2016 iMacs (iMac10,1 - 17,1)

+*Well here we are again, it's always such a pleasure~*
+
+Apple has yet again dropped a bunch of models, continuing their journey on discontinuing Intel Macs. With the release of OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.0, early support for macOS Sonoma has been implemented.
+
+## Versioning
+
+With 1.0.0, we'll be switching to a proper major, minor and bug fix system ([Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/)). This means the coming release will be version 1.0.0, and future releases plan to follow this scheme:
+
+- First digit: Major changes, including new OS support, API changes, and significant patch set changes, etc
+- Second digit: Minor changes, including incoming OS update fixes, minor patch set changes, etc
+- Third digit: Bug fixes, primarily hot fixes either due to a regression in prior release or resolving issues in already released OS updates
+
+
+## Newly dropped hardware
+
+* MacBook10,1:       MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, 2017)
+* MacBookPro14,1:    MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
+* MacBookPro14,2:    MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
+* MacBookPro14,3:    MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)
+* iMac18,1:          iMac (21.5-inch, 2017)
+* iMac18,2:          iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017)
+* iMac18,3:          iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)
+
+## Current status
+
+OpenCore Legacy Patcher 1.0.0 will support Sonoma for all models normally supported by the Patcher, however some challenges remain. You can find information about them below.
+
+## Issues
+
+* [Bluetooth](#bluetooth)
+* [T1 Security chip](#t1-security-chip)
+* [USB 1.1 (OHCI/UHCI) Support](#usb-11-ohciuhci-support)
+* [Graphics support and issues](#graphics-support-and-issues)
+
+
+### Bluetooth
+
+Sometimes Bluetooth may not work after boot on pre-2012 models. Running NVRAM reset can alleviate it.
+
+Dual boots may also bring the issue back even after the reset.
+
+### T1 Security chip
+
+::: details Support for the T1 Security chip (Resolved in 1.1.0 and newer)
+
+Sonoma has removed support for T1 chips found in most 2016 and 2017 Macs. Therefore on these systems, the following will not function:
+
+* Enable or disable FileVault
+* Open the Password Settings window
+* Add fingerprints (if upgrading, existing fingerprints will be deleted)
+* Add cards to Apple Pay
+
+[More information here](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/1103)
+
+:::
+
+::: warning
+Note that erasing the entire drive will remove the T1 firmware and it won't be reinstalled.
+:::
+
+### USB 1.1 (OHCI/UHCI) Support
+
+For Penryn systems, pre-2013 Mac Pros and Xserve, USB 1.1 support was outright removed in macOS Ventura and naturally this continues in Sonoma.
+While USB 1.1 may seem unimportant, it handles many important devices on your system. These include:
+
+* Keyboard and Trackpad for laptops
+* IR Receivers
+* Bluetooth
+
+With OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.6.0+, basic support has been implemented via Root Volume patching. However due to this, users will need to use a USB hub for installation and post-OS updates when patches are cleaned:
+
+![](./images/usb11-chart.png)
+
+::: warning The following systems rely on USB 1.1
+
+* iMac10,x and older
+* Macmini4,1 and older

+# What is OpenCore?
+
+OpenCore is a sophisticated boot loader used to inject and patch data in memory, instead of on disk. This means that we're able to achieve a near-native experience on many unsupported Macs. 
+
+* We recommend viewing the [OpenCore Patcher Terminology Page](./TERMS.md) if you have questions.
+* For troubleshooting, join the [OpenCore Patcher Paradise Discord Server](https://discord.gg/rqdPgH8xSN) and see our [Troubleshooting Page](./TROUBLESHOOTING.md).
+
+## How do I get started?
+
+1. The first step of ensuring whether your model is supported is by checking the [Supported Models](./MODELS.md) page.
+
+2. [Download and build macOS Installer](./INSTALLER.md)
+3. [Run the `OpenCore-Patcher.app`](./BUILD.md)
+4. [Reboot and boot OpenCore](./BOOT.md)

+# OpenCore Patcher Terminology
+
+With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, we use a lot of different terms to refer to hardware including `SSE4.1`, `32-Bit Firmware`, etc. This page is to help users understand what all these confusing words mean.
+
+# Terminology
+
+Term | Description
+--- | ---
+**macOS**        | Apple's own UNIX based OS used for Mac machines and is "What makes a Mac a Mac".
+**Windows**      | Microsoft's proprietary OS that is used and supported on a wide range of devices
+**Linux**        | Family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution. Note that while macOS and Linux may be UNIX-based, they're vastly different.
+**Bootloader**   | Piece of software that loads an OS, usually made by the OS creators. OpenCore is technically not a bootloader per se (see boot manager explanation down below). Apple's Boot.efi would be the actual boot loader in a Mac.
+**Boot Manager** | Piece of software that manages bootloaders – we have many of these: Clover, systemd-boot, OpenCore, rEFInd, rEFIt... These are generally seen as prepping the system for the actual boot loader.
+---
+Term | Description
+--- | ---
+**OpenCore**   | The new hotness on the scene, made with security in mind by the [Acidanthera team](https://github.com/acidanthera), has faster booting and lighter weight than previous boot managers. Supports many native Mac features such as SIP, FileVault, Secure Boot, etc
+**ACPI**   | Tables defined in your firmware defining your hardware and different methods, tied directly to how IOKit/IOService handles device setup
+**NVRAM**   | Non-volatile storage, where many variables are stored including default boot options, Hibernation keys, Secure Boot information, etc
+---
+Term | Description
+--- | ---
+**XNU**    | Also known as **X** is **N**ot **U**nix, XNU is referred to as macOS's "kernel" and the heart of what makes macOS tick
+**Kexts**   | Also known as **K**ernel **Ext**ensions, are macOS's drivers. They're used to perform different tasks like device drivers or for a different purpose (in this patcher) like patching the OS, injecting information or running tasks.
+**KernelCollection**   | Also known as the ImmutableKernel and PrelinkedKernel, this is a bundle of the kernel(XNU) and kernel extensions(Kexts) that we use to boot macOS. This is also what OpenCore patches in memory to allow us to have a seamless experience <br/>- PrelinkedKernel: Default caching system since 10.7 <br/>- ImmutableKernel: Secure Boot based caching system since 10.13 <br/>- KernelCollection: Merge of both Prelinked and ImmutableKernel's since macOS 11, Big Sur
+**IOKit**   | Backbone of how Kernel Extensions (Kexts) probe and attach onto hardware, starts quickly after kernel initiates
+**WindowServer**   | Backbone of the GUI interface in macOS, one of the first userfacing userspace programs to kick-in
+**OTA**   | Short for **O**ver **T**he **A**ir, refers to native OS updates via System Preferences like a supported Mac
+**DELTA**   | Often used with OTA, refers to OS updates that much smaller than full installers (generally ~3GB), note Deltas require the root volume to be unmodified otherwise ~12GB updates will occur.
+---
+Term | Description
+--- | ---
+**EFI**   | It can denote two things: <br/>- Mac's firmware, which is the same as UEFI, but pretty modified for Macs only, so not so "Universal" <br/>- The partition on your hard drive that stores software read by the UEFI to load OSes (like the Windows bootloader) or UEFI Applications (like OpenCore), it's FAT32 formatted and has an ID type of EF00 (in hex). It can be named ESP or SYSTEM, and it's usually from 100MB to 400MB in size but the size doesn't reflect upon anything.
+**HFS+**   | Also known as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), this was the default macOS drive format up until macOS 10.13. It was designed around spinning disks.
+**APFS**   | This is the default macOS drive format from macOS 10.13 and onwards for SSDs, and standard for all drives in Mojave. This format was designed primarily around SSDs.
+**32 and 64-Bit CPU**   | The bit number of a CPU determines how much data a CPU can address. <br/>- 32-Bit CPUs were only supported up-to Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard.
+**32-Bit Firmware**   | The bit number of a Firmware determines how much data the firmware can address. In some older Macs, it's common to have a 64-Bit CPU with a 32-Bit firmware<br/>- 32-Bit Firmwares were only supported up-to Mac OS X 10.7, Lion.
+**SSE Instructions**   | Also known as **S**IMD **S**ingle-Precision Floating-Point **I**nstructions,  these are defined as instruction sets supported by your CPU. In macOS, there are a certain number of instruction sets required for normal operation: <br/>- SSE3: Required for all Intel CPUs since Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger <br/>- SSSE3: Required for all Intel 64-Bit CPUs since Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard  <br/>- SSE4.1: Required for all Intel CPUs since macOS 10.12, Sierra

+
+## OpenCore Legacy Patcher not launching
+
+If the application won't launch (e.g. icon will bounce in the Dock), try launching OCLP via Terminal by typing the following command, make sure you've moved the app to `/Applications` before this.
+
+```sh
+/Applications/OpenCore-Patcher.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenCore-Patcher
+```
+
+## Stuck on `This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform` or (🚫) Prohibited Symbol
+
+This means macOS has detected an SMBIOS it does not support. To resolve this, ensure you're booting OpenCore **before** the macOS installer in the boot picker. Reminder that the option will be called `EFI Boot`.
+
+Once you've booted OpenCore at least once, your hardware should now auto-boot it until either an NVRAM reset occurs, or you remove the drive with OpenCore installed.
+
+However, if the 🚫 Symbol only appears after the boot process has already started (the bootscreen appears/verbose boot starts), it could mean that your USB drive has failed to pass macOS' integrity checks. To resolve this, create a new installer using a different USB drive (preferably of a different model.)
+
+## Cannot boot macOS without the USB
+
+By default, the OpenCore Patcher won't install OpenCore onto the internal drive itself during installs.
+
+After installing macOS, OpenCore Legacy Patcher should automatically prompt you to install OpenCore onto the internal drive. However, if it doesn't show the prompt, 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 Build and Install again and 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 remember this entry and auto boot from then on.
+
+## Infinite Recovery OS Booting
+
+With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, we rely on Apple Secure Boot to ensure OS updates work correctly and reliably with Big Sur. However this installs NVRAM variables that will confuse your Mac if not running with OpenCore. To resolve this, simply uninstall OpenCore and [reset NVRAM](https://support.apple.com/en-mide/HT201255).
+
+* Note: Machines with modified root volumes will also result in an infinite recovery loop until integrity is restored.
+
+## Stuck on boot after root patching
+
+Boot into recovery by pressing space when your disk is selected on the OCLP bootpicker (if you have it hidden, hold ESC while starting up)
+
+* **Note:** If your disk name is something else than "Macintosh HD", make sure to change the path accordingly. You can figure out your disk name by typing `ls /Volumes`.
+
+Go into terminal and first mount the disk by typing
+```sh
+mount -uw "/Volumes/Macintosh HD"
+```
+Then revert the snapshot
+```sh
+bless --mount "/Volumes/Macintosh HD" --bootefi --last-sealed-snapshot
+```
+Now we're going to clean the /Library/Extensions folder from offending kexts while keeping needed ones.
+
+Run the following and **make sure to type it carefully**
+
+::: warning
+If you have **FileVault 2 enabled**, you will need to mount the Data volume first. This can be done in Disk Utility by locating your macOS volume name, selecting its Data volume, and selecting the Mount option in the toolbar.
+:::
+
+```sh
+cd "/Volumes/Macintosh HD - Data/Library/Extensions" && ls | grep -v "HighPoint*\|SoftRAID*" | xargs rm -rf
+```
+
+Then restart and now your system should be restored to the unpatched snapshot and should be able to boot again.
+
+
+
+## Reboot when entering Hibernation (`Sleep Wake Failure`)
+
+[Known issue on some models](https://github.com/dortania/Opencore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/72), a temporary fix is to disable Hibernation by executing the following command in the terminal:
+
+```
+sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
+```
+
+## How to Boot Recovery through OpenCore Legacy Patcher
+
+By default, the patcher will try to hide extra boot options such as recovery from the user. To make them appear, simply press the `Spacebar` key while inside OpenCore's Picker to list all boot options.
+
+## Stuck on "Your Mac needs a firmware update"
+
+Full error: "Your Mac needs a firmware update in order to install to this Volume. Please select a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume instead."
+
+This error occurs when macOS determines that the current firmware does not have full APFS support. To resolve this, when installing OpenCore, head to "Patcher Settings" and enable "Moderate SMBIOS Patching" or higher. This will ensure that the firmware reported will show support for full APFS capabilities.
+
+## No Brightness Control
+
+With OCLP v0.0.22, we've added support for brightness control on many models. However, some users may have noticed that their brightness keys do not work.
+
+As a work-around, we recommend users try out the below app:
+
+* [Brightness Slider](https://actproductions.net/free-apps/brightness-slider/)
+
+## Cannot connect Wi-Fi on Monterey with legacy cards
+
+With OCLP v0.2.5, we've added support for legacy Wi-Fi on Monterey. However, some users may have noticed that they can't connect to wireless networks.
+
+To work-around this, we recommend that users manually connect using the "Other" option in the Wi-Fi menu bar or manually adding the network in the "Network" preference pane.
+
+## No Graphics Acceleration
+
+In macOS, GPU drivers are often dropped from the OS with each major release of it. With macOS Big Sur, currently, all non-Metal GPUs require additional patches to gain acceleration. In addition, macOS Monterey removed Graphics Drivers for both Intel Ivy Bridge and NVIDIA Kepler graphics processors.
+
+If you're using OCLP v0.4.4, you should have been prompted to install Root Volume patches after the first boot from installation of macOS. If you need to do this manually, you can do so within the patcher app. Once rebooted, acceleration will be re-enabled as well as brightness control for laptops.
+
+## Black Screen on MacBookPro11,3 in macOS Monterey
+
+Due to Apple dropping NVIDIA Kepler support in macOS Monterey, [MacBookPro11,3's GMUX has difficulties switching back to the iGPU to display macOS correctly.](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/522) To work-around this issue, boot the MacBookPro11,3 in Safe Mode and once macOS is installed, run OCLP's Post Install Root Patches to enable GPU Acceleration for the NVIDIA dGPU.
+
+* Safe Mode can be started by holding `Shift` + `Enter` when selecting macOS Monterey in OCLP's Boot Menu.
+
+## No DisplayPort Output on Mac Pros with NVIDIA Kepler
+
+If you're having trouble with DisplayPort output on Mac Pros, try enabling Minimal Spoofing in Settings -> SMBIOS Settings and rebuild/install OpenCore. This will trick macOS drivers into thinking you have a newer MacPro7,1 and resolve the issue.
+
+![](./images/OCLP-GUI-SMBIOS-Minimal.png)
+
+## Volume Hash Mismatch Error in macOS Monterey
+
+A semi-common popup some users face is the "Volume Hash Mismatch" error:
+
+<p align="center">
+<img src="./images/Hash-Mismatch.png">
+</p>
+
+What this error signifies is that the OS detects that the boot volume's hash does not match what the OS is expecting, this error is generally cosmetic and can be ignored. However if your system starts to crash spontaneously shortly after, you'll want to reinstall macOS fresh without importing any data at first.
+
+* Note that this bug affects native Macs as well and is not due to issues with unsupported Macs: [OSX Daily: “Volume Hash Mismatch” Error in MacOS Monterey](https://osxdaily.com/2021/11/10/volume-hash-mismatch-error-in-macos-monterey/)
+
+Additionally, it can help to disable FeatureUnlock in Settings -> Misc Settings as this tool can be strenuous on systems with weaker memory stability.
+
+## Cannot Disable SIP in recoveryOS
+
+With OCLP, the patcher will always overwrite the current SIP value on boot to ensure that users don't brick an installation after an NVRAM reset. However, for users wanting to disable SIP entirely, this can be done easily.
+
+Head into the GUI, go to Patcher Settings, and toggle the bits you need disabled from SIP:
+
+| SIP Enabled | SIP Lowered (Root Patching) | SIP Disabled |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Enabled.png) | ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Root-Patch.png) | ![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Settings-SIP-Disabled.png) |
+
+## Intermediate issues with USB 1.1 and Bluetooth on MacPro3,1 - MacPro5,1
+
+For those experiencing issues with USB 1.1 devices (such as mice, keyboards and bluetooth chipsets), macOS Big Sur and newer have weakened OS-side reliability for the UHCI controller in older Mac Pros.
+
+* UHCI is a USB 1.1 controller that is hooked together with the USB 2.0 ports in your system. Whenever a USB 1.1 device is detected, the UHCI controller is given ownership of the device at a hardware/firmware level.
+  * EHCI is the USB 2.0 controller in older Mac Pros
+
+Because of this, we recommend placing a USB 2.0/3.0 hub between your devices and the port on the Mac Pro. UHCI and EHCI cannot both be used at once, so using a USB hub will always force the EHCI controller on.
+
+* Alternatively, you can try cold-starting the hardware and see if macOS recognizes the UHCI controller properly.
+
+## Stuck on "Less than a minute remaining..."
+
+A common area for systems to get "stuck", namely for units that are missing the `AES` CPU instruction/older mobile hardware. During this stage, a lot of heavy cryptography is performed, which can make systems appear to be stuck. In reality they are working quite hard to finish up the installation.
+
+Because this step can take a few hours or more depending on drive speeds, be patient at this stage and do not manually power off or reboot your machine as this will break the installation and require you to reinstall. If you think your system has stalled, press the Caps Lock key. If the light turns on, your system is busy and not actually frozen.
+
+## No acceleration after a Metal GPU swap on Mac Pro
+
+If you finished installing Monterey with the original card installed (to see bootpicker for example) and swapped your GPU to a Metal supported one, you may notice that you're missing acceleration. To fix this, open OCLP and revert root patches to get your Metal-supported GPU work again.
+
+Alternatively, you can remove "AutoPkg-Assets.pkg" from /Library/Packages on the USB drive before proceeding with the installation. To see the folder, enable hidden files with `Command` + `Shift` + `.`
+
+The reason for this is that the autopatcher will assume that you will be using the original graphics card and therefore does non-metal patching, which includes removing some drivers for other cards. This causes Metal cards to not accelerate after swapping.
+
+## Keyboard, Mouse and Trackpad not working in installer or after update
+
+For Macs using legacy USB 1.1 controllers, OpenCore Legacy Patcher can only restore support once it has performed root volume patches. Thus to install macOS, you need to hook up a USB hub between your Mac and Keyboard/Mouse.
+
+* For MacBook users, you'll need to find an external keyboard/mouse in addition to the USB hub

+# Universal Control on unsupported Macs
+
+Introduced in macOS 12 Monterey, Universal Control is a feature that allows a Mac to control other Macs and/or iPads, share input devices, and share files across them simultaneously. With OpenCore and FeatureUnlock, Universal Control can be unlocked for most unsupported Macs, as long as they meet the technical requirements listed on this page.
+
+* Note: The following page is primarily for tinkerers, no proper support is provided outside of Discord support (see bottom of page).
+
+## Enabling Universal Control
+
+If you meet all the requirements, in most cases you can go to Display Preferences and tick the Universal Control settings to enable it. If you're planning to use Universal Control with an iPad, make sure to enable Universal Control on the iPad as well.
+
+
+| Display Preferences | Universal Control settings |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| ![](./images/UC-enable-1.png) | ![OCLP GUI Build Finished](./images/UC-enable-2.png) |
+
+
+Most Mac models from 2011 and above should work out of the box. However, older Macs like the 2008-2011 MacBook Pros require upgrading the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card to a newer model. More info in the [requirements section.](#requirements-for-universal-control)
+
+Some Monterey-native models are blacklisted, check the [blacklisted models section](#blacklisted-models) for more info.
+
+## Requirements for Universal Control
+
+Technical requirements:
+
+* Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)
+* Bluetooth 4.0
+* macOS Monterey 12.4 or newer
+* iPadOS 15.4 or newer (if applicable)
+* OpenCore Legacy Patcher 0.4.3 or newer
+
+Check the [table of models](#table-of-models) below to see whether you need to upgrade hardware and exactly what hardware is required to be changed based on the offending Macs listed. For help on how to upgrade the Wi-Fi card in older 2008-2011 models, refer to the `#hardware` channel in the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/rqdPgH8xSN) if required.
+
+
+
+Other requirements:
+
+* All devices are signed into the same iCloud account.
+* Two Factor Authentication is enabled with your Apple ID.
+* Bluetooth and WiFi are enabled. Neither needs to be connected, leaving them enabled is sufficient.
+* Handoff turned on from iCloud settings.
+* The devices in question are in close proximity.
+
+
+### Table of models

+## Blacklisted models
+
+The following models are blacklisted from using Universal Control by Apple:
+
+- MacBookAir7,x - MacBook Air Early 2015 11" / 13"
+- MacBookPro11,4 - MacBook Pro Mid 2015 15" (Intel Iris)
+- MacBookPro11,5 - MacBook Pro Mid 2015 15" (dGPU)
+- MacBookPro12,x - MacBook Pro Early 2015 13"
+- iMac16,x - iMac Late 2015 21"
+- Macmini7,x - Mac mini 2014
+- MacPro6,x - Mac Pro Late 2013
+
+The hardware in these models are capable of supporting Universal Control, but due to blacklisting, the only solution to use Universal Control on these models is to spoof their SMBIOS. SMBIOS spoofing essentially fools some aspects of macOS to think they are running on a different machine.
+
+With SMBIOS Spoofing, the Universal Control handshake recognizes a different SMBIOS and thus grants a blacklisted Mac to connect to other Macs and iPads with Universal Control.
+
+| Situation | Condition | Solution |
+|-----------|-----------|---------|
+| Mac <-> Mac connection | Monterey-unsupported | No spoofing needed |
+| Mac <-> iPad connection | Monterey-unsupported | No spoofing needed |
+| Mac <-> Mac connection | One or both are blacklisted |Spoofing required on blacklisted Macs |
+| Mac <-> iPad connection | Blacklisted Mac | Spoofing required on blacklisted Mac |
+
+:::warning
+
+Before we continue, please keep in mind that SMBIOS Spoofing is an advanced feature of OpenCore. Reckless usage of it could potentially break important functionality and leave your installation in a non-working state. Once you boot into a spoofed state, it is highly recommended that you stay spoofed, and avoid booting macOS without OpenCore.

+Ventura has dropped more models which includes all of the blacklisted Macs in question, making the procedure slightly different. It is important to follow the guide for the version you're on, failing to do so is likely to cause boot issues.
+
+::: details macOS Sonoma
+
+Firstly run OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
+
+Then go to **Settings** and **SMBIOS** tab, set SMBIOS Spoof Level to **Moderate**. Set SMBIOS Spoof Model **one listed next to your native model in the table for spoofed models below.**
+
+Notice that "Allow native models" and "Allow Native Spoofs" **are NOT** enabled unlike on Monterey, this is on purpose. They are no longer relevant on Sonoma and enabling them will cause boot issues.

+
+Spoofing to any model with native Sonoma support should work, but these are the earliest Macs natively supported by Sonoma and thus chosen for the sake of simplicity.
+
+**Reminder:** Macs that are not listed on this table work without spoofing, including systems that do not natively support Ventura as long as the other requirements are met, since they aren't blacklisted.

+
+**Note:** Unless you are building OpenCore on a different machine than it's targeted for, **do not** change the model in the main settings view. It is important to understand that OCLP targets this model regardless of what you may have spoofed to, as your Mac is still what the Native SMBIOS shows.
+
+Lastly, Build and install OpenCore again, and reboot back to the OS. Enable Universal Control as explained in the [Enabling Universal Control section.](#enabling-universal-control)
+
+
+
+You should now be prompted to log back into iCloud by your Mac. If you get this prompt, you have successfully configured SMBIOS spoofing. Otherwise, verify that you have correctly followed the steps listed above, or ask on the Discord server for further assistance in [#misc-help](https://discord.gg/rqdPgH8xSN).

+# Updating OpenCore and Patches
+
+With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, there's generally very little reason for users to update the OpenCore installation on their machine unless you feel there's a benefit with new versions for your setup, e.g. Bluetooth has stopped working with a new macOS update.
+
+For those who do wish to update, simply [download the latest release](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases) and rerun the patcher:
+
+![](./images/OCLP-GUI-Main-Menu.png)
+
+Then, rebuild your OpenCore build and install again. OpenCore Will now be updated!
+
+To check what version of OpenCore and the Patcher you're currently running, you can run the following in the terminal:
+
+```bash
+# OpenCore Version
+nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version
+# Patcher Version
+nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:OCLP-Version
+```
+
+![](./images/oclp-version.png)
+
+From this, we can see that we're running a RELEASE version of OpenCore 0.8.0 built on April 18th, 2022 with Patcher Version 0.4.5!

+
+## Currently Unsupported/Broken Hardware in Ventura
+
+### AMD Polaris, Vega and Navi support on pre-2019 Mac Pros and pre-2012 iMacs
+
+For users with 2008 to 2013 Mac Pros (MacPro3,1-6,1) and 2009 to 2011 iMacs (iMac9,1-12,2), keep in mind that macOS Ventura now requires [AVX2.0 support in the CPU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#Advanced_Vector_Extensions_2) for native graphics acceleration. Thus while your GPU may be natively supported, you cannot run Ventura officially with these GPUs.
+
+* CPUs supporting AVX2.0 are Haswell or newer, which no pre-2019 Mac Pros can be upgraded with.
+
+Currently at this time, OpenCore Legacy Patcher only supports patching the AMD Polaris and Vega Graphics stack to no longer require AVX2.0. We're recently received an AMD RX 6600 donation, so hopefully in the future the project can support AMD Navi with pre-Haswell Macs. However, no time estimates can be given.
+
+Following GPUs are applicable:
+
+| GPU Architecture | Model Families | Supported |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| AMD Polaris | RX 4xx/5xx (10/20 series) | <span style="color:#30BCD5"> Supported with patching </span> |
+| AMD Vega    | Vega 56/64/VII (10/20 series) | ^^ |
+| AMD Navi    | RX 5xxx/6xxx (10/20 series) | <span style="color:red"> Unsupported </span> |
+
+
+### USB 1.1 (OHCI/UHCI) Support
+
+For Penryn systems and pre-2013 Mac Pros, USB 1.1 support was outright removed in macOS Ventura. While USB 1.1 may seem unimportant, it handles many important devices on your system. These include:
+
+* Keyboard and Trackpad for laptops
+* IR Receivers
+* Bluetooth
+
+With OpenCore Legacy Patcher v0.6.0, basic support has been implemented via Root Volume patching. However due to this, users will need to use a USB hub for installation and post-OS updates when patches are cleaned:
+
+![](./images/usb11-chart.png)
+
+::: warning The following systems rely on USB 1.1
+
+* iMac10,x and older
+* Macmini3,1 and older
+* MacBook7,1 and older
+* MacBookAir3,1 and older
+* MacBookPro7,1 and older
+  * MacBookPro6,x is exempt
+* MacPro5,1 and older
+
+:::
+
+::: details Legacy Wireless Support (Resolved in v0.6.0 and newer)
+
+
+### Legacy Wireless Support
+
+For systems that required Root Patches in macOS Monterey to achieve Wireless support, unfortunately macOS Ventura has broken the patch set. Currently the following Wifi cards are unsupported:
+
+* Atheros: All models
+* Broadcom: BCM94328 and BCM94322
+
+The following machines shipped stock with these cards:
+
+* iMac12,x and older
+* Macmini3,1 and older
+* MacBook5,x and older
+* MacBookAir2,1 and older
+* MacBookPro7,1 and older
+  * MacBookPro6,x is exempt
+* MacPro5,1 and older
+
+
+Currently BCM943224, BCM94331, BCM94360 and BCM943602 are still fully supported by OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Consider upgrading to these cards if possible.
+
+:::
+
+
+::: details Non-Metal Graphics Acceleration (Resolved in v0.6.0 and newer)
+
+
+### Non-Metal Graphics Acceleration
+
+Regarding non-Metal, the team is hard at work to get non-Metal working, however this is our greatest challenge since Big Sur.
+
+Apple has made significant changes to the graphics stack in order to facilitate fancy effects, and in particularly, Stage Manager. We will update you as we work on development, however, now is not the best time to ask about ETAs.
+
+The following GPUs are applicable:
+
+* NVIDIA:
+  * Tesla (8000 - 300 series)
+* AMD:
+  * TeraScale (2000 - 6000 series)
+* Intel:

+# Installing Windows in UEFI Mode
+
+Modern versions of Windows officially support two types of firmware: UEFI and BIOS. Users may want to boot Windows through the OCLP Bootpicker, but only UEFI Installations of Windows will show up in the OCLP Bootpicker.
+Many older Macs do not "officially" support UEFI Windows installations, leading to installation failures and strange behaviour, but OCLP can be used to prevent almost all of these issues.
+
+## Minimum Requirements
+
+This guide will focus on the installation of modern Windows (10/11) without using Boot Camp Assistant.
+
+* Due to hardware and firmware limitations, UEFI Windows installations are only recommended on the following machines:
+
+  * 2015 MacBook or newer (`MacBook8,x`+)
+  * 2011 MacBook Air or newer (`MacBookAir4,x`+)
+  * 2011 MacBook Pro or newer (`MacBookPro8,x`+)
+  * 2011 Mac mini or newer (`Macmini5,x`+)
+  * 2009* Mac Pro or newer (`MacPro4,1`+), upgraded GPU is preferred
+  * 2010 iMac or newer (`iMac11,x`+), upgraded GPU is preferred
+  * 2009* Xserve (`Xserve3,1`), upgraded GPU is preferred
+
+
+*`MacPro4,1`, `MacPro5,1`, and `Xserve3,1` systems experience issues with the Windows installer, follow the DISM installation section for instructions.
+
+If your machine is not listed, UEFI Windows will likely still install, but you may face stability/driver issues.
+
+## Disk Partitioning and Formatting
+
+The following is required for installation:
+* 8GB+ USB Drive for the Windows installer
+* 30GB+ Free Space on an existing drive / empty drive for the Windows installation
+
+### Formatting the USB Drive
+
+Open Disk Utility in macOS and format the USB Drive as ExFat with the Master Boot Record scheme:
+
+![](./images/windows-mbr-format.png)
+
+### Formatting the Target Drive
+
+Next, select the drive you wish to install Windows in Disk Utility on and partition it as ExFat (If formatting the entire drive, ensure it's using the GUID Partition Table scheme):
+
+![](./images/windows-partition-1.png)
+
+
+:::warning
+
+Incorrectly erasing your drive can lead to data loss! Please verify that you are erasing the correct drive/partition.
+
+:::
+
+If you plan to use the same hard drive for macOS and Windows, we recommend creating a dedicated partition just for OpenCore. This lets Windows have the ESP to itself and OpenCore can stay within it's own bubble.
+
+Recommended size is 200MB and the partition format **must** be FAT32 for OpenCore to operate correctly. You will next want to install OpenCore onto the new partition, either moving from the ESP with [MountEFI](https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI) or rerunning the OpenCore-Patcher.app
+
+* Note 1: For machines with dedicated drives for Windows, having different partitions for OpenCore is not required.
+* Note 2: Having different partitions for OpenCore is not required if the Windows boot files detected by the stock Bootpicker are removed. See "Removing the Windows option from the stock bootpicker" for further information.
+* Note 3: We recommend uninstalling OpenCore from the ESP/EFI Partition when you create this new OpenCore partition to avoid confusion when selecting OpenCore builds in the Mac's boot picker.
+
+![](./images/windows-partition-2.png)
+
+## Creating the Windows Installer
+
+The latest Windows installation images can be downloaded from Microsoft using the following links:
+
+* [Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File)](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10ISO)
+
+* [Download Windows 11 Disc Image (ISO File)](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows11)
+
+Once the file is downloaded, mount the .iso image:
+
+![](./images/windows-iso.png)
+
+Then open terminal and use the `rsync` command with the disk image set as the source and your USB drive set as the target. (Replace "CCCOMA_X64" with the mounted image's partition name, and replace "InstallWin10" with your USB Drive's name).
+
+```
+rsync -r -P /Volumes/CCCOMA_X64/ /Volumes/InstallWin10
+```
+
+![](./images/rsync-progess.png)
+
+The `rsync` command will take some time, so get some coffee and sit back. Once finished, the root of the USB drive should look as follows:
+
+![](./images/windows-rsync-done.png)
+
+* Ensure that these folders and files are in the root of the USB drive, otherwise the USB will not boot.
+
+
+## Installation Process
+
+Once you reboot your machine, you should see a new boot option in the OCLP Bootpicker labelled as "EFI Boot" or "Windows". It may or may not have the Boot Camp icon.
+
+:::warning
+
+If you aren't booted into OCLP, you may see **two** boot options labelled "Windows" and "EFI Boot". Do not choose either of the options and boot into OCLP to continue.
+
+:::
+
+
+
+### Installation: Microsoft Method
+
+Once booted into the Windows installer, proceed as you normally would on any Windows computer. If you see an error message containing “Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation”, please follow the next portion of this guide (DISM Installation).
+
+::: details Installing Windows 11
+
+If you are installing Windows 11, you will need to [modify the Windows Setup](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/how-to-bypass-the-windows-11-tpm-20-requirement/) to allow installation on unsupported machines.
+
+:::
+
+### Installation: DISM Deployment Method
+
+Once booted into the Windows installer, proceed as you normally would until you reach the "Where do you want to install Windows" disk formatting section.
+
+When you are prompted to select a drive, select your desired partition and delete it using "Delete". If you want to install Windows to an empty drive, erase every partition currently on the desired drive.
+After your drive/partition is erased, press "New" to create the Windows system partitions.
+
+![](./images/DISM-1.png)
+
+You will be prompted to confirm the creation of the system partitions, press "OK".
+
+![](./images/DISM-2.png)
+
+Once the partitions are created, select the main (largest) partition and press "Format". This will format the partition using the NFTS file system.
+
+![](./images/DISM-3.png)
+
+After the installer formats the partition, open up the Command Prompt by pressing SHIFT + F10. Then run the `diskpart` command, and `list vol`. This will produce a list of volumes in your system, make sure to keep track of the drive letters of the main Windows partition (largest, NTFS), the EFI partition (100MB, FAT32), and the Windows installer (Usually Drive D). Run `exit` to close diskpart
+
+![](./images/DISM-4.png)
+
+Now, get a list of available Windows editions by running `dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:D:\Sources\install.wim` (substituting D with the Installer Drive Letter). This guide will use Option 6 for Windows 10 Pro.
+
+![](./images/DISM-5.png)
+
+You can now start the deployment process. Run `dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:D:\Sources\install.wim /index:6 /ApplyDir:E:`, replacing "D" with the Installer Drive Letter, "6" with the Windows edition option, and "E" with the Windows Partition Drive Letter.
+
+![](./images/DISM-6.png)
+
+Once `dism` finishes its thing, run `bcdboot E:\Windows`, substituting "E" for the drive letter of the main Windows partition to create the boot files.
+
+![](./images/DISM-7.png)
+
+Windows is now installed. It should be recognized as "EFI Boot" or "Windows" with a Boot Camp icon in the OCLP Bootpicker.
+
+:::warning
+
+After the boot files are created, **DO NOT** reboot if you are using a MacPro4,1, MacPro5,1, or Xserve3,1 system! A bug in the Windows bootloader exists that will completely brick the system if it is loaded through the stock bootpicker. See the "Installation: Removing the Windows option from the stock bootpicker" section for a workaround.
+
+:::
+
+### Installation: Removing the Windows option from the stock bootpicker
+
+Removing the Windows boot option from the stock bootpicker is **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** on MacPro4,1, MacPro5,1, and Xserve3,1 systems in order to prevent Secure Boot NVRAM corruption and bricking.
+
+Start up a command prompt window in the Windows Setup environment by running `cmd`.
+
+Next, enter the EFI Folder by running `C:`, substituting "C" for the EFI Partition Drive Letter. Then run `cd EFI` to enter the EFI Partition. Then, run `rmdir Boot /S /Q` to remove the boot files that can be detected by the stock Bootpicker. The OCLP Picker will still be able to detect and boot Windows.
+
+![](./images/DISM-8.png)
+
+You can verify that the `Boot` folder is removed by running the `dir` command:
+
+![](./images/DISM-9.png)
+
+If, for whatever reason, you are not able to remove the boot files from the Windows setup, shut down your system, boot into macOS, mount your EFI partition with [MountEFI](https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI), and remove the `Boot` folder (it should have a recent file modification date, and contain `Bootx64.efi`).
+
+
+## Post-Installation
+
+### Installing Boot Camp Software
+
+To get started, download the Brigadier utility from the following link:
+
+* [Download Brigadier](https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier/releases/download/0.2.4/brigadier.exe)
+
+Once Brigadier is downloaded, move it to your desktop for easy access.
+
+Open up a command prompt window as a standard user and run `cd desktop`.
+
+![](./images/BOOTCAMP-1.png)
+
+Then run `.\brigadier.exe --model=MODEL1,1`, replacing "MODEL1,1" with your machine's SMBIOS model.
+
+![](./images/BOOTCAMP-2.png)
+
+Once the Boot Camp software is downloaded, you can install it by executing `Setup.exe` or `\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi` (`BootCamp64.msi` if present).
+
+### Installing Boot Camp 6 softare on unsupported machines
+
+To get started, download the Brigadier utility from the following link:
+
+* [Download Brigadier](https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier/releases/download/0.2.4/brigadier.exe)
+
+Once Brigadier is downloaded, move it to your desktop for easy access.
+
+Open up a command prompt window as a standard user and run `cd desktop`.
+
+![](./images/BOOTCAMP-1.png)
+
+Then run `.\brigadier.exe --model=MacPro7,1`. This will download the latest BootCamp 6 package.
+
+![](./images/BOOTCAMP-2.png)
+
+Once the Boot Camp software is downloaded, you can install Boot Camp 6 by executing `\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi` in an administrator command prompt window.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model."
+
+If you built OpenCore with Moderate or higher SMBIOS spoofing, you'll get an error when trying to install Boot Camp drivers. You can solve this by either rebuilding OpenCore with a lower spoof level, or running the installer from `Drivers/Apple/BootCamp.msi`.

+| ![](./images/windows-bootcamp-error.png) | ![](./images/windows-bootcamp-msi.png) |
+
+::: details BootCamp.msi quirks
+
+If needed, you can run it from the command line as administrator:
+
+```
+set __COMPAT_LAYER=WIN7RTM && start \path\to\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\Bootcamp.msi'
+```
+
+Make sure to substitute `\path\to` with the location of the Boot Camp folder.
+
+You can also open `Properties` on the file to change the compatibility to `Previous version of Windows` in case you have Boot Camp 4.0 drivers (the above command does this already.)
