Touch Screen & Surface Pen WORKING

Dual Boot with Windows is not well supported due to quirks with Surface Pro 1/2/3. Works well if installed after a clean macOS installation

Secure Boot must be turned off in the BIOS/UEFI in order to boot before registering the secure boot key. Secure Boot may be turned on after key is registered.

Updated the SMBIOS to MacBookPro14,1 to add support for latest macOS versions. You will need to generate new serial information to enable iServices.

Release Information:

  • OpenCore (r0.8.5)
  • You must replace your existing EFI with this release and add your SMBIOS information, or your system and iCloud services will not work as expected.
  • SIP Enabled.
