I had no idea OCLP existed and I was about to just toss this MBP out since apps were getting removed automatically due to being on an older OS. What pushed it over the top was OneDrive kept uninstalling itself because of the aforementioned. I tried to install an old version and disable any updates to it, but after a few hours it would just disappear again.
If anyone searches (like I tried before), Macbook11,3 which shares late 2013 and mid 2014, with the Nvidia 750m, seems to work fine on OCLP 2.3.2 and Sequoia 15.4
Onto my question:
I had BootCamp installed, and all I did was delete the volume that had my macOS and installed a fresh Sequoia on it. This caused the Sonoma to be on "disk1" while BootCamp was "disk0". This was causing problems with the EFI boot and I had to delete the BootCamp partition, as OCLP kept trying to put EFI on disk0, so I would always have to boot with USB. Since removing BootCamp, I was able to make it work, but now I cannot get BootCamp to go.
I make a USB, reboot to it, start windows install, but I get to the point where it says no drivers found and I cannot move on. I checked the entire USB, nothing on it finds drivers, took the time to brute force every folder and check if a driver was found. I even went as far as copying the BootCamp folder to another USB drive during the install to browse that, nothing.
Is there something I am missing with it? I set it up so long ago that I don't remember if there's anything specific I had to do.
On the plus side, I don't need to boot from USB to boot into Sequoia anymore since OCLP was able to find the right partition. I tried using MountEFI to copy the EFI from USB into the drive, but still didn't work as I wanted. I saw that I cannot change disk1 to disk0 even if there is no disk0, hopefully that isn't why I can't get windows BootCamp
Also a bonus question:
GPU crash issue - I didn't see in the comments this was resolved, and my model is part of this, having an Nvidia Kelper GPU. I decided, what's the worst that could happen if I try installing, so took the leap. Is this still an issue? Is it just intermittent? Only some affected? Do I have to do something specific to trigger if it is? I tried a game of League of Legends and it looked fine without artifacts or anything and no crash with dGPU usage at 70%+ for it
