Hello UtterDisbelief
Will you, by any chance, in the near future try to upgrade this build to a more recent Mac OS version ?
I am trying to upgrade my own hackintosh to a more recent build and I was about to source for a Mac mini for the form factor when I saw your post ...
My current Hackintosh dates back to 7 or 8 years back and used the almighty Unibeast and Multbeast tools. I did not keep up to date with the clover , open core as , as I am ageing, it becomes more difficult to dig in more technical stuff, so your step by step build seems perfect to me and I intend to buy the exact same hardware.
I am curious to know that, if I use your exact files provided, ( efi , usbfix etc...), the process can be smooth enough by following your steps and if you would attempt any OS upgrade later.
Eagerly waiting for your finalised EFI
Thanks for helping elders like me
Hi there. Sorry I missed your post, but thank you to @trs96 for mentioning it and replying.
Thank you to @oyko too, for the update.
So far I haven't planned on moving up to Ventura on this PC. In my view these newer macOS versions sap so much power from a computer, especially a low-powered one. I can tell you old High Sierra really flies along even on this NUC (though it's not yet perfected and the reason I haven't included an EFI for it).
With Big Sur we still get OS updates until Sonoma and then may well be the time to consider upgrading to Monterey to keep getting them, as they only run for three macOS versions.
To answer your question - the included EFI and USBFix upgrade will enable all hardware in this model NUC. I'll combine the zips when I can... Soon.
