[* icon_note] You could skip "SMBIOS," but we'll cover what this is real quick: | |
- | [* black] SMBIOS is the serial number and Board ID information about your Mac's Logic Board. If something terrible happens, OpenCore has a way to overwrite the Serial Number and Board ID. This does not change the Serial Number or Board ID, but it makes macOS look at the EFI and force it to take that custom Serial Number. |

[* icon_reminder] The only time you would need to change the Mac's serial number is if you are running macOS on a VERY old Mac. Or if you plug in the macOS USB drive and you get a prohibitory sign, then you should use SMBIOS. We will cover this in detail later on. |
