Surface Pro 5 (2017), Monterey, OpenCore

After a lot of trials and tribulations, I have a near-functional Hackintosh Surface Pro 5:

Surface Pro 5 with Monterey

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*

What doesn't work:

  • Cameras
  • Bluetooth
  • *Stylus works by mimicking the mouse input, but not native
  • Native Wifi
    • Dongle works, although around 30-50MB/s of my 950MB/s potential.

I'm primarily a Win11 user, and while I use iPhone and Apple Watch as daily drivers, I've never touched Mac OS so still trying to learn all the funny little things.

This was a fun project to work through, I'd count this as a success even though I probably won't use it all that much!
