Replace motherboard for Thunderbolt compatibility

[CaseySJ]

I have been following this guide. At Step 11 MacOS doesn't show up. The only option is Install OS Catalina

If you have a smartphone camera handy, please post a photo of the OpenCore boot picker where all the various boot options are displayed.

I've attached photos of boot sequence. At step 11 after the system reboots, I again select usb stick after F12 and the only option I get is "Install Mac OS" as before. If I click that it just takes me back to the utilities page. The SSD is not showing up for some reason. Photos attached.
Thanks again

The final photo here is where I end up after reboot. As you can see, no sign of MacOS

normally happens when MinDate and MinVersion is not set to -1 in your config.plist

may also be worth trying an older version of opencore with Catalina

Please check SecureBootModel in Misc —> Security section of OpenCore Configurator. Change it to Disabled and then begin the Catalina installation again.

I tried to change mindate and minversion back to -1 and that worked. I was able to install. Up and running finally.
I did a check of the system.
Under bluetooth , handoff was no. And connectable was nowhere to be seen.
Under Ethernet, it didn't look like yours.
Under PCI, one entry was missing.
I have attached photos.
My keyboard is working with it's bluetooth usb. The magic mouse is not with a different blue tooth usb.
I have a tp link wireless pci card which worked perfectly in High sierra but it's not showing up.I have it in pci slot 1
