macOS Ventura no longer supports Haswell architecture in the Surface Pro 3. Open Core Legacy Patcher required to re-enable graphic acceleration on the Surface Pro 3 in macOS Ventura. See Chapter 10 linked on the main page for instructions. Do Not use OpenCore Legacy Patcher on macOS Monterey or lower.

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.
