Johnniekul,
I have a HP laptop build for the Intel Core i7 7500U (your CPU) which works with Catalina and Big Sur on Opencore. You can try it here > https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...re-i7-7500u-amd-r7-m260-10-13-6-guide.309923/

Download the latest EFI named EFI 10.15 11 12 and just add in your SMBIOS serials to use.

I have a triple boot setup in my HP ProBook640 G2 (Win10-Catalina-Ubuntu), my lap has an intel AC 7265 WiFi+BT card, I got WiFi working with the method of putting the Airportitlwm.kext inside the plugins of the IO80211Family.kext and putting that in Clover/kexts/Other, but my problem is that the bluetooth doesn't work unless the device i'm pairing is almost touching the laptop and i have no AirDrop, I tried with the IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext and the IntelBluetoothInjector.kext, but it didn't fix my problem.

Does anyone knows a way to get the AirDrop working with my setup?, since it's not an error report i don't know which files to attach to help fix this.

Hi, I would like to upgrade my 840G2 to big sur, how could translate this method to OpenCore? also I was thinking in keep the clover installation upgrading to the last versión, where i confines the appropriate quirks for clover?

For those having issues with high cpu and power usage, on HP Probook Laptops, 450G series install CPUFriend.kext. It helps in more refining power management. May work for other HP Laptops as well.

Make sure you have Lilu.kext installed as CPUFriend.kext is a lilu.kext plugin.

Hope this works

I'm having issues with CMOS resets when running Big Sur with Opencore.
I tried the DisableRTCchecksum in Quirks, that didn't help. Then I tested with RTCMemoryFixup.kext and the method in boot arguments. That didn't help. I'm wondering what other issues would cause the CMOS reset as the troubleshooting guide at Dortania doesn't seem to point to anything but RTC issues. I do not get Safemode. Just reset notice each time on reboots or startups.
