Post Install **a) OpenCore** - After successful install copy OpenCore to system EFI partition - Repeat steps 1b + 1c but with EFI of macOS SSD as target - Switch OpenCore from \`debug\` to \`release\` version ([file-swaps](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/troubleshooting/debug.html#file-swaps)) - To disable all logging apply following [config-changes](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/troubleshooting/debug.html#config-changes) **b) Sleep/Wake** - Read and follow instructions in [Docs/SLEEP](Docs/SLEEP.md). **c) Tools** - Install the following from [Tools](/Tools) folder: - \`OpenCore Configurator\` (OCC) to modify/update \`config.plist\` - \`Hackintool\` to check loaded kexts, system settings and more **d) Security** - Use [SilentKnight](https://eclecticlight.co/lockrattler-systhist/) to check security state and update missing software or tools. **e) Audio** - (Optional) Install VoodooHDA by following instructions in [Docs/AUDIO](Docs/AUDIO.md). --- ### Update macOS Check the official update-guide: [OpenCore-Post-Install/update](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/update.html) 1. Backup - Full system backup with \`Time Machine\` or similar software - Copy current EFI to OpenCore USB-Drive for recovery purpose 2. Download - Latest version of OpenCore and replace files in EFI - Updates for all installed kexts and replace in EFI 3. Reboot - Boot with updated OpenCore version and kexts - If the system doesn't boot, use OpenCore USB-Drive to roll back 4. Update - Start macOS Update from \`System Settings\` -> \`Software Update\` - With OpenCore the update process should work automatically - If \`Software Update\` shows \`Mac version is up to date\`, download macOS Installer from AppStore and start the update manually If the system doesn't boot, try to fix the problem or revert to the latest EFI or system-backup. --- ### DualBoot Windows 1. Install - Create new partition (~106 GB min) with \`disk utility\` - Create a Windows 11 Installer with [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/) (TPM 2.0 + Secure-Boot) - Select \`Windows\` boot entry in OpenCanopy to begin installation - Delete the partition from installer and let Windows re-create it 2. Drivers - Use the \`Z590-P Driver-DVD\` to install all missing drivers - Unzip drivers in [Windows/Driver](Windows/Driver/) folder and install manually from Device-Manager (\`Broadcom BT/WiFi\` and \`Marvel Console\`) - For Magic Mouse scrolling install \`AppleWirelessMouse64.exe\` from [Windows/Mouse](Windows/Mouse/) folder 3.
