issues i have with opencore bootloader (read below)
IF you don't have opencore downloaded, don't download from their link, go directly to the dortania guide here and download version 0.9.2: https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/

Booting Windows error: OCB: StartImage failed - Already started - what to do under BlessOverride?
This is due to OpenCore getting confused when trying to boot Windows and accidentally thinking it's booting OpenCore. This can be avoided by either move Windows to it's own drive or adding a custom drive path under BlessOverride. See Configuration.pdf (opens new window)for more details.
