Releases · balopez83/Surface-Pro-7-Hackintosh
Release: 2.3.0 supporting macOS 10.15-14.7.1 (No Wifi on 15.x)
Secure Boot: As of release 2.0.0 secure boot enrollment should no longer be required. You must have 3rd party secure boot enabled. If you have issues booting you should follow the previous secure boot instructions to enroll the secure boot certificate.
OpenCore Mod: With release 2.0.0 I changed the OpenCore system to the Mod fork. This was done to correct an incompatibility with the Surface Pro 7 booting with OpenCore, running Windows, where the system will not properly transition from sleep to hibernate resulting in a crash upon wake from hibernate.
macOS Sequoia will now boot but is NOT considered supported at this time due to a lack of Sequoia WiFi Kexts. Once Sequoia WiFi kexts are available and the OS is officially released I will add support with another release. If you want to use Sequoia, you can use Heliport for wifi but that is not supported by this repo and requires lowering security to install.
Release Information:
- OpenCore (r1.0.3)
- Supports 10.15-14.7.1 (15.x will boot but will not have Wifi support)
- SIP ON
Supplemental Instructions:
- You must add your SMBIOS information to the config.plist if you would like to sign into any iService
- Surface Pro 7 (i3 variant) is not compatible as it is not compatible with macOS. UHD G1 was never on any official Mac.
- If you experience flickering on the i5 using the i5 config, you should try with the i7 config as some reports indicate that it may work better even with the i5 chipset.
What is not yet working:
- Accelerometer (unsupported device)
- Cameras (unsupported device)
- Hardware based DRM (macOS Issue; unlikely to ever work)
- iMessage/FaceTime DOES NOT WORK in Sonoma at this time. This is an issue with the current Intel Wifi kext and requires a fix. See developer site for additional information and current workaround. https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm
Fixed Issues & Feature Additions/Changes:
- Updated OC
- Updated Kexts
- Added capability to boot macOS Sequoia (No Wifi as no support has been added to "Airportltlwm" kexts as of this release. You can use Heliport but with reduced capability and is not recommended and not supported by this repo)
Release: 2.2.0 supporting macOS 10.15-14.6
Secure Boot: As of release 2.0.0 secure boot enrollment should no longer be required. You must have 3rd party secure boot enabled. If you have issues booting you should follow the previous secure boot instructions to enroll the secure boot certificate.

- iMessage/FaceTime DOES NOT WORK in Sonoma at this time. This is an issue with the current Intel Wifi kext and requires a fix. Once the developer releases an update fixing iMessage/FaceTime, I will update this release.
