Opencore 0.7.9 Hackintosh EFI

EFI for my Hackintosh v2 (upgraded from BigSur 11.4) build dual-booting macOS Monterey and Windows 10. This build is based on Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide. The version numbers reported in this specification were the releases available at the time of installation, and more than likely can be replaced with the latest versions.

Please note the bolded words above and be mindful if using different versions, since computers have a life of their own and may not work and/or like what you are doing to them.

Disclaimer

This EFI is for personal use. Please do some research if you have any intentions of replacing your EFI with mine.

I am not responsible for any loss, including but not limited to Kernel Panic, device fail to boot, storage damage, data loss, rig spontaneously combusting, AI takeover, the Big Freeze and whatever else I can think of in the future.
