🔹 Creating the bootable USB installer
🔹 OpenCore EFI setup (with download link)
🔹 Full macOS 26 Tahoe installation process
🔹 Post-install fixes (GPU, audio, Wi-Fi, iMessage, etc.)
🧩 ThinkCentre M710q Specs Used:
CPU: Intel Core i3-6100T (6th Gen)
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Storage: 128GB SATA SSD
Graphics: Intel HD 530
⚙️ Working Features:
✔ Graphics acceleration (Metal support ✅)

⚠️ Note:
Intel 6th Gen CPUs are not officially supported in macOS 26 Tahoe, but it works with OpenCore and kernel patching.
iGPU acceleration may require WhateverGreen and device-id spoofing.
