First Hackintosh build, help with side car and moving from Catalina

Hi!

Thanks to everyone in this community for the excellent resources for making a Hackintosh. I am using a Lenovo M900 tiny and I ultimately used juanpy0223 EFI after not having much success making my own from scratch (thought that's my next goal). I built this machine to use as the brains behind my guitar / bass pedalboard. I've been experimenting with windows, linux and IOS for this purpose and am of the belief that a Mac might be the best option (though I've yet to try it on my rig).

I would like to use Sidecar as my primary / only display with my 2nd generation iPad Pro 12.9. I'm not seeing it show up in the devices list on sidecar in Catalina. I'm also not seeing the iPad for Airplay anywhere either. To be clear, I don't have a wireless NIC or Bluetooth card yet, but my intent is to run sidecar over USB. I performed a port map which I believe I did correctly while windows was on this machine. The SMBIOS is configured as a iMac17,1.

I'd also like to look at moving to a later version of OSX, I attempted an upgrade from inside Catalina to Monterey last night, but was greeted with an error which I don't recall so I'm not able to expound much on that. Doh!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Not terribly exciting to you all, but I'm thrilled!
