Download OpenCore onto one flash drive, and replace the files in this repo. You must enter your own serial number and ID for use. Use another flash drive to flash MacOS onto it. Guide. Everything should be dandy with the install.
We need two workarounds currently to get things in shape.
- Download Karibiner Elements here(https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/), and set the function keys to the functions that they belong in and check the "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys".
- Change the "f13" (PrintScreen button) to "fn" key, thats make the fn keys works when pressed the new fn key.
You must have a wireless chip that works out of the box for Apple Watch Unlock. Even on a real Mac this is a pain! It may just work to press the box, but what did it for me was flushing the routes.
Just use the EFI OpenCore provide by me, for more updates visit here -> https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm
