GenSMBIOS VS BigSurface

Most likely you don't have any serial number bound to that VM. You can generate a SN with this script by typing your Mac model

Name: BOARD_SERIAL Key: BOARD_SERIAL Value: [Generate via GenSMBIOS](https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS)

Is your SMBIOS configured properly ? Use Corpnewt’s GenSMBIOS Also, you may create a separate account on your hackintosh to do this.

Looks like you're trying to use a "Configurator" utility in your video.Most likely part of your problem. Not any part of them are supported around here. Try GenSMBios or just manually enter it in your config.

OpenCore 0.8.7 / Dumping DSDT use SSDTTime for generate ACPI Tables / Use genSMBIOS for generate MLB (Board Serial), ROM (Mac Address), SystemSerialNumber (Serial), SystemUUID (SmUUID)

if you have/did a proper SMBIOS injection, nothing happens, it's just like you have a real mac. Just avoid changing your SMBIOS abruptly (if ever) with your account logged in, best to log out and try new SMBIOS. For better SMBIOS injection I recommend you to use "GenSMBIOS". In my case, all services always work on the first try.

Not necessarily at the moment, after installation (if everything is ok - I hope so), you can do it with https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS

We have WiFi with the use of a third party TP Link dongle and chris1111's Wireless USB OpenCore Adapter, fully functional trackpad with gestures with the help of BigSurface. Also have touchscreen & stylus working with SSDT-SURFACE although do not use it*

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.

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.

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

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)
