Install OpenCore Hackintosh Using macOS Monterey

I will install OpenCore Hackintosh using macOS Monterey on my Haswell computer and my iGPU. This Hackintosh will use the Windows (Rufus) method. All goes well, but the biggest hurdle was realizing I had chosen the wrong SMBIOS… (iMac17,1 not iMac16,2).

Here are the Post-Install Steps.
