[Guide] Intel NUC7/NUC8 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7Bxx,NUC8i7Bxx,etc)

setup Catalina first, then you can do the usb port mapping, then you can upgrade via system preferences
Hi @Feartech, respect! Port mapping is already done in my uploads, on page 89 in this thread, but I have no experience in setting up the installer via windows. Guess I could dive in and try and figure it out but is it not possible via windows to get the Monterey or Ventura installer direct? Thanks in advance
Edit "Added Monterey"

Edit "Added Monterey"
My guide on setting up a usb installer in windows in my signature, I recommended to install Catalina first so the user can then do the usb port mapping, then they can update opencore and then upgrade to a newer version of macOS if they wish

Don't think there is a way at the moment to do a recovery for Ventura
 
In this steps i will format my external SSD and lost my Ventura isn’t it?

I hope there is any way to save my old system as I’m using it almost 2 years :(
Try loading Monterey to a USB Hard Drive and then using it to access your internal drive. You can also buy a utility that will get you APFS file access via windows which you mention you have, there may be free alternatives but I can't recommend any at the moment
 
Kindly find my EFI,
your USBPorts.kext is incorrect if you have an internal Wifi card installed, would expect to see a HS port set to 255

also, normally, would only see one of these enabled:
