Comments

After trial and errors with the USB Patch, I am now sharing my completed build that I'm currently using as a daily driver.

Installation

OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
Bootloader: Opencore 0.6.1
boot-arg: igfxonln=1

Kexts used:
AppleALC.kext

What's Working
Almost everything except deep-sleep (S3 mode - had to disable on bios as I think it is common on Intel HD 530 non-headless iGPU) and services that requires native wifi and Bluetooth.

Hi everybody, has anyone been successful in getting the EFI for the Optiplex micro? If so, would you share the EFI please?
