I am trying to install OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.4.1 on my MacBook Pro 2016 model which has a T1 chip and the Touchbar.
After reading many guides and watching many videos, I am now even more confused than before about the "safety" of installing OCLP in this model because of the risk of the T1 firmware getting wiped.
My questions are:
1. Once I factory reset the MacBook Pro back to macOS Monetery (last officially supported version), is it safe to run OCLP 2.4.1 to patch the EFI and then download and install Sequoia and repatch EFI without overwriting the T1 firmware?
2. I intend to manually create a "BootCamp" partition using Disk Utility to use to install Windows 11 (not using the official Boot Camp app) once macOS Sequoia has been installed and EFI is patched. Is this safe? Will the Windows installation somehow corrupt the T1 firmware?
3. What other precautions do I need to take before doing the above steps to ensure that the T1 firmware issue will not become a problem?
4. With OCLP 2.4.1, what is the most up-to-date limitation of the T1 integration in OCLP? Touch ID still does not work?
Thanks in advance to all posters who reply to help out.
