# Booting OpenCore and macOS
|
|
|
|
Now we finally get to boot OpenCore!
|
|
|
|
Reboot 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now that you've loaded OpenCore, now select Install macOS:
|
|
|
|
* This will be the OpenCore Picker
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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:

|
|
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.

**MacBookPro11,3 Note**: When booting macOS Monterey, you'll need to boot into safe mode if acceleration patches are not installed yet. [Otherwise you'll hit a black screen due to missing NVIDIA drivers.](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/issues/522) Safe Mode can be entered by holding Shift+Enter when selecting macOS Monterey in OCLP's Boot Menu.
