Hackintosh-Intel-i9-10850k-MSI-Z490-GAMING-EDGE-WIFI

Hello folks,

I have successfully installed (updated) MacOS Catalina to 10.15.5 on my i9-10850k Comet Lake running on a MSI Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI.

You can find my EFI folder in this repository.

I think my config should perfectly work with the configuration based on:

• LGA1200
• Comet Lake i7/i9 10xxx
• Z490 Chipset
• MSI GAMING

Current Bootloader: OpenCore 0.6.6

OpenCore setup was made according to https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

Go through that guide to get basic understanding.
