Original Question:
Well, at first I didn't plan to upgrade from catalina to big sur, but my catalina (i installed catalina using clover) started randomly freezing. After I asked to r/hackintosh, u/Bblktop suggested me to install big sur using opencore and see if the freeze disappears.
And yeah, i succeed to install big sur on my old PC by followed this guide
- CPU: Intel Core i3 2130
- GPU: Galax GT 710 2GB
- RAM: 8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
- Motherboard: Maxxon H61M-X
- Audio Codec: Apple ALC662
- Ethernet Card: Realtek RTL8105E Megabit Ethernet
- Wifi/BT Card: TP-Link TL-WN725N/TP-Link UB400
At first i couldn't boot into usb installer (watchdog 0 or something i forgot). After i googled, someone suggested to use Hsfpluslegacy instead of Hsfplus, and change WhiteFlash to No/False. Finally I could boot into usb installer
Thanks for dortania & r/hackintosh for awesome guide!
