I am interested in using a USB-C dock with the Elitebook 830G7 (Ventura). If this is not possible, (USB mapping or some other limitation), I'd like to know now before buying a dock from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364637473345 https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-usb-c-g5-essential-dock...

Is it possible to raise / lower (bonus for mute) from a 2020 Dell Keyboard, without modifying the key map? Bonus points for Google Keywords that point to how this can be accomplished.

@trs96 Grateful: Thank you for the response. I tested the link: * the installer burned successfully to the USB * installer starts up and can install OS to a second SSD What is the Ventura version of the link? 13.6.1? When reviewing a gibMacOS list: where does one go to check to ensure that...

Is it possible that my installer is for Apple Silicon only? * macOS Ventura 13.6.2 (22G2321) - 042-95491 - Added 2023-11-16 18:14:25 - 10.53 GB * macOS Ventura 13.6.2 (22G320) - 042-95459 - Added 2023-11-16 18:13:16 - 10.48 GB What is the installer checking for and failing?

An i3-10105T Optiplex is outfitted with Ventura (iMac20,1). When trying to install Ventura 13.6.2 to a new SSD: Why is the same Optiplex iMac20,1 is not compatible? Install Mac OS Ventura returns: Why? How to overcome error and install Ventura?

If the final Intel-MacOS is released in 2025, then presumably with 3 years of support, we would be at 2028 November? That's five more year of tinkering!?

MacOS 14 (Sonoma) System Requirements indicate support for 2019 and 2020 Intel CPUs:https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213772 Is the trend for Apple to drop one model year for each major release? i.e drop 2019 Intel CPUs for MacOS 15? I realize that anything can happen and all is speculation...

I would suggest that you use the Dortania Opencore guide and start by downloading the latest version of Opencore. If your cpu is CML (comet lake), then you can start here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html You can look at config.plist and kexts...

Use a Fenvi card with a Broadcom chipset. https://dortania.github.io/Wireless-Buyers-Guide/unsupported.html

Fine work. Does Airdrop work (update your first post)? Did you use OLCP or is your SIP in tact?

Interesting posts: 1) Miliucu declares Fenvi Wifi success with OLCP: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-how-to-install-macos-14-sonoma-beta-on-z390-aorus-elite-motherboard-using-opencore.327017/ 2) Mliucu indicates OOB soldered wifi chipsets: Macs that can officially update to Sonoma...

Thank you for clarifying. Yes, the laptop arrived with Intel Wifi/BT and it does work, albeit without Airdrop. I replaced the Intel with Broadcom so that I would gain Airdrop functionality. I'm not going to "hold my breath", so I will have to stick with Ventura to sustain Airdrop...

I'd like to be able to run Sonoma in an Elitebook G7 830. It currently has M.2 Broadcom and I would like to think that if I stick with Ventura until EOL that I will be able to use Broadcom (I like OOB Airdrop). Is there a similar M.2 wifi module that works with Sonoma?

Is 10th Gen Intel iGPU (HD630/620) is the final / last iGPU found OEM Apple PCs? If it is, then when HD630 support is no more, then the craft (as we know it today with Opencore is no more? Or is there an expectation that Intel + AMD Radeon dGPU will persist somewhat beyond HD630 retirement?

Factors that maximize success for newbies: 1) Keep it simple: Use hardware that is known to work ("golden builds"). 2) Access to an existing Mac 3) Reading the Dortania Guide 4) Terminal / Command line skills I suspect that too many newbies do not realize that installation is 10X-100X more...

Did you check that the Video / CPU is known to be good (Check Dortania's guide)? Hint: use a "golden build" hardware configuration or a system known to work. If you are buying iGPU (Intel Integrated video): make sure it is 10th generation CPU. Dell and HP

13.5.1 drops Broadcom Wifi/BT? If that is the case, the Elitebook can remain where it is, because they do not have ethernet. The ethernet desktops are still compatible, but I guess there are no guarantees.

@Edhawk, thank you for the thoughtful reply. It would seem that sticking with Ventura for the next two years will retain airdrop functionality. As nice as it would be to run the latest, I am not ready to go from OOB to disabling SIP (OLCP). Do Broadcom models, under the AirportBrcnFixup.kext...

I have outfitted two Optiplex Micros and a trio of Elitebooks with Broadcom BCM94360NG M.2. Said desktops / laptops arrived with Intel Wifi / BT and have limited functionality (no Air-drop), when Opencore is outfitted with appropriate kexts. My reading indicates that Sonoma has dropped...
