- Follow OpenCore guide and create a bootable macOS recovery USB
- Download the EFI and place it onto your USB drive
- Boot to OpenCore and setup your disk in Disk Utility
- To install along side Windows make sure you have a GPT formatted disk, resize your Windows partition using tools such as Easeus Partition Master then while in macOS Disk Utility, make the unallocated space into APFS
- I also left a 500MB unallocated space for an EFI partition using gparted on Linux earlier I set the ESP / boot flags
- Finally copy the EFI from the repo to your disk EFI partition that you created and boot from it with the F9 key
