Hello
@RandC,
Glad to hear the Macintosh part of the journey was rather uneventful. Windows, however, is easier to install if you have a Windows computer. Simply use Microsoft's
Media Creation Tool to create a USB install disk.
Issue 1: OpenCore Picker.
- First, change the Boot Order in BIOS to the macOS SSD followed by Windows SSD.
- After logging into macOS, use System Preferences --> Startup Disk to set macOS as the default startup disk.
- Open your config.plist in OpenCore Configurator and set Misc --> Security --> BootProtect to Bootstrap.
Issue 2: Changing Monitor Settings.
- Although you did not mention the make/model of your monitor, some settings on the monitor might confuse macOS. For example, changing SST to MST (single stream transport to multi-stream transport) can have adverse consequences. So lock in the desired settings on the monitor and minimize changes.
Issue 3: Name of Windows Disks in OpenCore Picker.
- OpenCore is still a pre-release software package. It is version 0. You will find several cases where people abbreviate it to 6.0, but it is not version 6! It is still version 0 -- or more precisely, version 0.6.0.
- Over time it might include the ability to display Windows volume names, but I don't think it supports that at this time.
