Unable to see battery when booting to Windows from OpenCore on Surface Book 2
Let me know if linking the OpenCore log files would help in determining the issue. Unknown if this makes a difference but I also using the BigSurface.kext from https://github.com/Xiashangning/BigSurface which also includes a prebuilt ACPI for the Surface models.

Surface Laptop 3 + Monterey 12.6.4
I made use of rchiruma's setup for Monterey on this specific model laptop, which got my foot into the process, but didn't go as designed. For one, I was able to get to the macOS installer, but both keyboard and mouse were not recognized, so I overnighted a USB keyboard and mouse to at least get the OS onboarded. Once installed, I updated the BigSurface.kext that does much of the heavy lifting, which luckily got the attached keyboard and touchpad functioning, but broke USB and Bluetooth. This was causing a painfully long boot-up (close to five minutes), but everything else was functioning at that point.

Microsoft Surface 3 i5 hackintosh.
I know that the Microsoft Surface 3 has an Intel i5 and from what I have read it is compatible with MacOS. I have seen that someone has made a kext for surface BigSur.https://github.com/Xiashangning/BigSurface
- Surface Pro 7 and Ventura. Has anyone gotten IPTSDaemon (touch screen) running? I'm getting "[error] Failed to get IPTS device info from driver: No such process"
- I have Ventura running on my Surface Pro 7, but when I use the latest BigSurface.kext I lose good trackpad support. When I use an old one I found in a github branch for Surface it works.
- My first ever Hackintosh!!!! (on Microsoft Surface laptop go)

[SUCCESS] Surface Pro 2017 (1807) running Ventura v13.0.1
This was my very first Hackintosh, it actually wasn’t nearly as hard to set up as I first thought it would be. Maybe that’s because I used to run Linux. This is the lower-end model with a Kaby Lake i5-7300u, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of onboard SSD storage. macOS is triple booted with Windows 10 and chromeOS. SMBIOS used - MacBookPro14,2 What works - Type Cover (keyboard & trackpad,) touch screen & stylus input with Surface Pen (no pressure support,) sleep, battery indicator, performance modes, and device buttons thanks to Xiashangning’s BigSurface and IPTSDaemon projects - Wi-FI via external dongle, audio with AppleALC What doesn’t work - Internal Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Current Issues - Kernel panic when Type Cover is closed and/or detached (only Ventura, also happens on reboot, known issue with BigSurface)
- BigSurface - MacOS on surface devices!

Microsoft Surface 3 i5 hackintosh.
It’s definitely possible. I actually installed Big Sur on my own i7 SP3 today, and it works decently. Everything except Wifi, Bluetooth, and the volume buttons works perfectly. What I did was follow the guide at https://github.com/balopez83/Surface_Pro_3_Hackintosh, which was really simple and straightforward.
