  2. Download
    • Latest version of OpenCore and replace files in EFI
    • Updates for all installed kexts and replace in EFI
  3. Reboot
    • Boot with updated OpenCore version and kexts
    • If the system doesn't boot, use OpenCore USB-Drive to roll back
  4. Update
    • Start macOS Update from System Settings -> Software Update
    • With OpenCore the update process should work automatically
    • If Software Update shows Mac version is up to date, download macOS Installer from AppStore and start the update manually

If the system doesn't boot, try to fix the problem or revert to the latest EFI or system-backup.

DualBoot Windows

  1. Install

  2. Drivers

    • Unzip drivers in Windows/Driver folder and install manually from Device-Manager
      • for "unknown device" select Microsoft Engine Interface as driver
      • for "BCM43525" select DW1560 Bluetooth 4.0 LE as driver
    • For Magic Mouse scrolling install AppleWirelessMouse64.exe from Windows/Mouse folder

  3. Fixes

    • For Scroll-Inversion follow the instructions from windowscentral.com
    • For Keyboard remapping use AutoHotkey and SharpKeys with proper config files from Windows/Keyboard folder
    • Fix incorrect clock settings by instructions from lifehacker.com
    • Currently there are two concurrent problems:
      • Don't install BT-Driver in Windows: Mouse works on both OS while restart, but no Scroll in Windows
      • Install BT-Driver in Windows: Scrolling in Windows works, but restart breaks connection for other OS
