Hackintosh Guide - Install MacOS Catalina with Intel 10th Mobile Processors using OpenCore bootloader

Pardeep Kumar replied to MaLd0n's topic in Installation Guides

Hello, first of all Thank you for this forum.. Really love it. I'm trying to boot Catalina, it boots fine and runs the setup but the problem I'm facing is that when I run Disk Utility in setup it only shows me USB device and did not detect my internal SSD. I'm using the following hardware. Acer Predator Triton 300 Intel i7-10750H 16GB RAM nVMe SSD - Intel Optane with RAID <-- This is my 1TB SSD. 4GB nVidia 1650Ti GPU I'm using clover to boot.
