Hey I have the same laptop as you and would like to install opencore macOS butI'm not sure how I can use your repo to help me ?

Any help would be appreciated

U can copy my EFI folder to your boot partition and generate SMBIOS for your machine

Is it as simple as copying your EFI? I'd like to do a 100% cleanse of any remnants of Clover from my system and switch over to OpenCore.

Hi Kreizlie Do you have issues with external monitors? Right now I'm using Dominiks package and I can't boot with or even plug in an external monitor. Everything works with Clover but with OpenCore external monitor doesn't work for me. Any tips or experiences are much appreciated.

UPDATE: I just tried booting with your EFI and have the same issues. It gets to the Apple logo loading screen but then the display just goes black. If I open my laptop the login screen is there it's just the graphics output to the external display that's not working apparently.

External monitor works normal through HDMI cable, but during boot it cannot detect external monitor, you have to unplug dan replug HDMI cable. Because this laptop has internal display, I have no problem with that.
