• If you want to install it only single drive install OS X first then Windows after all installation complete.
• Copy efi folder to your drive and replace boot folder. Move windows folder into OC folder. Then use bless override section and set windows boot file location. Disable hideself in misc.
• If you have two seperate drives install with oses in any order.Copy Efi folder into OSX drive. And enable hideself in misc.
• If trackpad or sound is not working rebuild cache with sudo kextcache -i / command.

Installing Linux on OPENCORE

• On Opencore boot press space and open OpenCore Shell
• Find your EFI drive among these drives in the list and take a picture of its information.
• Enable Linux in Misc Entries. You can rename it.
• You need to edit path as your EFI drive it is a long text but you need to type it correctly. There are two examples in build one for M2 sata drive one for Sata SSD. If you write it correctly then opencore has to boot linux.
