Surface-Pro-5-OpenCore

This repo lets you download the EFI for the Surface Pro 5 lineup.

Note

I no longer have access to my Surface Pro 5. Any new bugs won't be straight forward, and PRs are welcome.

Please don't be misunderstood that this project is abandoned, I'm just not in the mood of maintaining a project that might be killed off by future macOS updates

Caution

The EFI is ONLY educational purposes and is not affiliated with neither Microsoft, Apple, nor the computer maker. You are responsible for the damage caused to your machine.
