Hi All, I am happy to be writing you to say thank you from my newest machine, Monterey 12.2.1 built on a Dell Latitude 7490 booting with Opencore 0.78. I recently learned about Hackintoshes and it has been fun and frustrating to learn about. I referred to so many pages on this site that I wanted to offer a general thank you--seriously thank you! I also just wanted to say that I am happy to share with anyone with this setup (or one similar) access to the EFI and/or other configuration files. I am not sure about the protocol for this forum, but if anyone is interested, please let me know. In the meantime, best of luck! With sincere thanks, Jake
