    [SUCCESS] Big Sur on GA-Z270X Gaming 5 + i7-7700K + RX580

    Resolved the installation hanging at "SMCSuperIO ssi" by enabling the XHCI handoff in the Bios. But I did that step after I generated a new USBmap.kext, so it may have been both. By accident, I wound up buying a spare SSD and decided to make use of it; so my machine is configured to dual...

    [SUCCESS] Big Sur on GA-Z270X Gaming 5 + i7-7700K + RX580

    I’m currently working through this process, as well. I’ve verified that my installation was halting at [EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] due to the CFG Lock issue. @tsanko.dimitrov - you said you found changing the hidden BIOS option is a more reliable, stable solution than changing the quirks...

    macOS 10.13.3 Update

    I was stuck for a while trying to update from 10.13.1, but finally managed to resolve it all and reach 10.13.3. Initially the problem was my machine would stall after restarting for the update and launching from the "Install Mac OS X" option. It wouldn't begin the actual installation, so it...

    Fully use Apple Keyboard in Windows

    I just gave this a try and it seems to work nicely! Just as advertised. The problem I had was my Windows 10 machine wasn't able to see my keyboard, so it couldn't even try to pair with it. After installing the program, my keyboard was noticed. Of course... it could be because I chose to...
