Hi, Honestly I don't know since it is a lot of time I'm not using Catalina on MBXP... and therefore I didn't test latest OpenCore security features on it...

Tnx for your comment! The truth is I do not care which version,Catalina/Big Sur or whatever…. I just want to be able to install the hackintosh on the computer. Can you explain to me how? I'm also willing to pay lol 😂

Honestly, you don't need to pay for getting a reasonable support from me or anyone reading this thread and with more experience on installing on external devices...
However if you find the EFI
developed in this repo useful, then you could click on the "buy me a coffee" banner on repo's homepage...
"Probably" for Catalina you need to add to your config.plist
also these changes:
<key>UEFI</key>
<dict>
<key>APFS</key>
<dict>
...
<key>MinDate</key>
<integer>-1</integer>
<key>MinVersion</key>
<integer>-1</integer>
...
However, for Big Sur I can assure that all you need is explained here which is the guide linked on this repo's homepage...
Since you stated that you reached the end of installation process, I guess you build a proper usbpen for installing macOS!
Just one more hint: since you are installing on an external device and, as stated in my homepage, on default
config Thunderbolt controller support is dropped, it could be not a smart idea using thunderbolt port for installing macOS...
I will try to install big sur, but in gibmacos there is no full install for this version, so what to do?
And as for the external drive, are you implying that it is not possible to install on an external drive?
Or just need to enable the usb type c connection?
thank you for your time!!
Honestly it's a long time I do not use gibMacOS
strategy for installing macOS... in fact it is no more mentioned in Dortania's guide...
I guess you have no access to a real or virtualized Mac for building your usbpen... this means you could use from Windows

My girlfriend have MacBook Pro 2019, its better? And as for EFi, how do I set all the data I need inside the config file? Thanks

Edit: It is an Intel-based one, isn't it? If so, then (you can continue reading...) If you have access to a real Mac then you could follow step-by-step previously linked guide... ;-)
how do I set all the data I need inside the config file?
You need to use an editor for plist
files, for example:

You need to use an editor for
plist
files, for example:
- ProperTree as suggested in Dortania's guide
- Sublime Text which is my favorite one!
- any Markdown editor is good...
I did not understand what is different whether I use a Mac or Windows. Regarding the config file I know how to edit it, but I did not understand by what, according to all the lines in the installation guide? And what about gmbios? Need the details of my computer?
Edit:
I downloaded the latest version on Mac through system updates, and it downloaded monterey, not big sur. Can it be installed or will it not work?
Thanks
Hello friend, I finally installed big sur on my computer. I've got two questions.
Hi @Hai2332 , I'm glad you succeeded in installing BS.
