Hello everyone,
I'm running a dual-boot setup on my HP EliteBook, which includes macOS (Hackintosh) and Windows 11. I've encountered a compatibility issue in Windows 11, where my system is incorrectly identified as a "MacBookPro16,3" due to my Hackintosh configuration. This has caused some compatibility problems, particularly with joining the Insider program.
Issue Description:
- System: HP EliteBook 840 G7
- macOS Configuration: Running macOS on non-Apple hardware (Hackintosh)
- Windows 11: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit, Build 22621
The Problem:
- In Windows 11, my system is recognized as a "MacBookPro16,3" instead of an HP EliteBook 840 G7.
- This identification mismatch is causing compatibility issues, especially when trying to access windows Insider and possibly other Windows software/services.
What I've Tried:
- I've looked into customizing SMBIOS settings in my Hackintosh bootloader, but I'm concerned it might affect my macOS installation.
Seeking Advice:
- Is there a way to change the system identification in Windows 11 without impacting my Hackintosh setup?
- Are there specific settings or patches I should apply to resolve this issue while keeping both macOS and Windows 11 stable?
- Has anyone else encountered similar problems with system identification in dual-boot Hackintosh setups?
I appreciate any guidance or solutions you can provide. Thank you!
