Can't boot into macOS Tahoe installer (stuck on some ACPI step)

Hi,

I am trying to install Tahoe on an Intel i7-14700KF CPU. I previously did this successfully using this EFI https://github.com/Stick-Study/Universal-EFI-for-Intel-Hybrid-Architecture from this BarTech TV tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc8NhN7x6rU (note that the author of the Github EFI and the tutorial are two separate people).

The EFI's author recently published an updated version with OpenCore 1.0.5 and support for Tahoe, so I tried to do what I did when installing Sequoia. However I can't even boot into macOS Installer. I can select the "Install macOS Tahoe" option from the OpenCore picker, but then it gets stuck (see attached image) at some ACPI step: https://imgur.com/5G19Zfj

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? I'm assuming there's some step I'm missing since the original tutorial I followed was for Sequoia (even though the EFI on Github has been updated for Tahoe), but not sure where to start.

Thanks!

Auto-update not working MacOS 26.0 Beta.

I did succesfully update my hackintosh to MacOS 26 Beta when it was still running in Beta. I know for a fact that I’m not on the release candidate or 26.0 final. Still I don’t receive new and auto updates. I did some searching but couldn’t find a solutions that works (like restrictevents or disabling SIP).

Did anyone have the same issue and found a solution?

I’m on a i3 8100 with dedicated GPU. I got macos 26 running with changing the Mac model in smbios. I read about OCLP but it seemed to be only for real macs?

iMessage and FaceTime just log me out when I sign in.

I recently updated to macOS Tahoe from macOS Sequoia and was finally able to set up iCloud and my Apple ID.
Everything works perfectly except for iMessage and FaceTime. Every time I enter my credentials and sign in, it takes a maximum of 5 seconds before I'm redirected back to the login window.

I have a couple of issues that could be affecting this. The first issue, which I think has already been resolved, is an incorrect ROM in config.plist -> platforminfo -> generic. I replaced it with my Ethernet connection MAC address. The serial number and other parameters are fine, but the serial number is invalid, as stated in the guide.
The second problem is that my internet isn't connected via an Ethernet cable, but via a Wi-Fi stick, which isn't supported natively. I had to download the Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter driver from chris1111. My internet connection is fine, as is my Apple ID. iCloud wasn't working, but I fixed it by installing the correct ROM in config.plist.

But these two guys still aren't working.

Does anyone know what to do?
If I don’t need FaceTime that much, then iMessage is desirable.

How to wipe macOS and windows

I gave my brother my dual boot pc a few years ago, and he’s wanting me to delete both OS’s to be able to use the pc just for windows.

I’m a bit confused as to what to do.

Basically I have Mac OS on an nvme, and windows 10 on another SSD. I want to be able to have a fresh install of windows so how would I go about formatting EVERYTHING to start as good as new?

I really haven’t tinkered around with stuff like this in years, it’s been a long time since I made the computer dual boot.

Help is much appreciated.
