For Skylake and newer:

Kernel -> Quirk -> CustomSMBIOSGuid -> True PlatformInfo -> UpdateSMBIOSMode -> Custom

(Dell Inspiron 7373, 8250u, newer than Skylake) I followed above, but when selecting APFS formatted disk in installation gui, it said "Your Mac needs a firmware update in order to install to this volume. Please select a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume instead."

and I googled, https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/iw1cel/cant_install_using_opencore_because_your_mac/ I reversed the values to Kernel -> Quirk -> CustomSMBIOSGuid -> False PlatformInfo -> UpdateSMBIOSMode -> Create

I can install Monterey on APFS volume without error. (Can select APFS disk?volume?, and installation progress goes on)

Please stop and read this carefully. Otherwise your issue will be left unanswered and closed.
