So I have a SurfaceBook 1 and a Surfacebook 2 and For Years They Were Running Mac OS Fine El Capitan To Mojave But I Stopped Using Them For A While And When I Went To Try To Use My SurfaceBook 1 I realized the SSD was “Dead” I Can’t Boot Windows or Mac using The Internal SSD but Clover Still Runs Fine When It Turns On Which Is Wierd but it lets me boot anything external So As Long As I Have A USB HardDrive it Works However under older versions of Mac I can’t see let alone Mount The EFI as the SSD is dead but On newer versions I can see it But I can’t Mount it but in neither version can I access what was on my Mac side only windows So I Was Able to recover a few files although I couldn’t transfer very large files it would just crash the system out also I don’t have Sound so I know the SSD is dead fearing that eventually I won’t even be able to boot the way it is I made a bunch of backups and all is well but the problem is when I went to switch over to my SurfaceBook 2 it did a windows update and updated the BIOS added some settings there were of use no me and ever since then I have noticed that I have not been able to boot Mac OS whether external or with a flash drive at the time it wasn’t installed on the internal drive because I had been fighting to get EL Capitan To run on the internal drive but I think it’s not working because the intel processor is using usb 3.1 and El Capitan doesn’t support it because it installs fine and and everything but when I go to boot it says “it can’t find it” it’s been a while but essentially along those lines it can’t fine where to boot Mac OS X El Capitan but I’ve been trying desperately to get it working I can’t see what files where on my SurfaceBook 1 efi as I know I’d be able to get it going and I can only access efi on SurfaceBook 2 using windows so I can’t update clover only change a few files my version is v4998 or something like that it’s not 5k because I remember in the past one of the versions gave my trouble so I have stay there please help I’ve been out the game for a while so I’m not as versed as I used to be so I don’t know if it be able to do anything super technical as I don’t have clover configuration only text edit in windows
