The Perfect Laptop Hackintosh on macOS 26 Tahoe

Mulderhl replied to MaLd0n's topic in Tahoe (26)

I have the exact same laptop that you say is the best, but it freezes after 4-5 hours of use and I swapped the efi from the use to the system but it didn't let me boot without the usb? I am daulbooting Win11 and Tahoe. Could you please give me any suggestions for these two issues? Thanks
