Hi there,
I‘m running a hackintosh with Catalina (clover bootloader) and Windows 10 quite successfully for two years now.
Everything works fine (sleep, bluetooth, USB ports mapped, nvram working, etc.) - no issues on either of both OS.
HW is GB Aorus Master Z390 with i9 9900k, 64GB RAM, Radeon 5700XT. Each OS on dedicated M.2 SSD (Evo 970).
It’s a rock solid setup and I should leave it running for at least two more years, I know…
Still, there is this urge to update.
I‘m thinking about going to Monterey and Windows11 but I‘m unsure on the best approach.
Here is what I know so far:
My mobo can do TPM 2.0 but it is currently not setup in the BIOS. I think I know the procedure to enable it.
I have read about the trim bug on Samsung SSDs and a WD Black SN750 is on its way here. Actually I believe I ordered a SN850 by accident. Cant hurt.
I‘ll use a fresh SSD for the Win 11 install as well.
Here is my plan - looking for suggestions, hints, etc.:
1.) BackUp everything
2.) Remove the current SSDs (Win10 & Catalina) and store them in a save place.
3.) Add new SSDs (WD SN750 for Monterey, another Evo 970 for Win11)
4.) Update mobo BIOS to latest version (F11n)
5.) Enable TPM 2.0 in mobo BIOS
6.) Install Win 11 on Samsung SSD
7.) Remove Windows Samsung SSD
— do I need to disable TPM 2.0 on the mobo at this point? —
8.) Install OpenCore and Monterey on SN750 SSD
9.) Plugin Windows / Samsung SSD again
10.) everything will be rainbows and unicorns and this point -what could possibly go wrong?
I‘m still not 100% sure about TPM 2.0 vs secure boot and if these two things work with each other, or not.
Will Windows11 be booting fine, with TPM 2.0 disabled? I understand TPM 2.0 is only needed during install. Right?
Will Montery boot with TPM 2.0 enabled?
Any thoughts, comments, warnings, or - even better - experiences are very welcome.
Cheers,
John
