add -v to your boot arguments so you can see what the issue could be

@Takagi another way to get the verbose screen is to hit the Windows key on your keyboard in combination with the V key at the boot screen, at least that should work if you don't want to edit the config.plist.

yes, that is a good idea... however, PollAppleHotKeys is disabled in config.plist so that wouldn't work

Heres what Ill do in order:
Put bios back into the sata mode that works for windows and boot to windows Drive 1 m.2 Instead of USB EFI.

Plug both monitors out of the RTX GPU and into the MotherBoard

in windows ill download Opencore Configurator or OCAT and change:

add -v to your boot arguments so you can see what the issue could be

change the smbios from iMac20,2 to iMac20,1

Back in Bios Change Sata mode back to the Apple one and boot into USB EFI instead of Drive 1 M.2 (Windows)

Hopefully by doing this it installs properly or at least gives me access to recovery or disk utility.. I hope
Wish me luck Ill report back around 6:30pm EST

Okay, I read the rules.. I think it's good now

Maybe I should enable that in the EFI, might be handy going forward...

maybe also -v ?

I had that as default for awhile, perhaps I should put it back. It looks nicer booting up with it off, but it's certainly handy to see what's going on under the hood.

I agree it looks nicer without, handy to have enabled for first timers installation

So I dont have a mac so I cant use Opencore configerator But I do have Plist editor pro
so under "boot-args" do I just add
<string>-v<string>



And than to change the SMBIOS do i just change line code 657 from iMac20,2 to iMac20,1

Would this work?
