# Recommended: Clean Install (Preinstall steps)
- Format a USB (16GB) as Journaled and then proceed to download the latest Catalina Installer Patcher Application
- Download the latest Catalina installer from within the Patcher App, and select to download a new copy and install to your USB device
- Download the clover configurator application and mount the EFI of the USB partition, then copy the contents of the Files linked above to A new EFI Folder (that you create) within the EFI partition.

** This is because the App Store installers will often not download a full installer, just an truncated version that downloads the installer files from the interent while installing. Thus, they're not bootable from a USB as they're not complete. That is why you should use this method to make sure the installer is usable for bootable media.

# Install Steps
- Boot into the USB Device, and follow the steps to format your SSD from the installer to install Mac OS Catalina. *Note* the trackpad will not function at this point, but the touchscreen will. This is caused by the way the installer handles Kext loading but because the touchscreen is being loaded via usb and the keyboard in a different method (which I can explain in detail if you'd like, the install will be possible.
- Do not be alarmed if the installer takes a long time to boot into, this is expected
- Once you have done this step, use **F12** to select the USB and boot into the installer from the SSD in the options menu. ***(you cannot boot natively yet as the EFI isn't copied into the SSD yet.***
- Setup computer as normal, touchpad, brightness, etc, should all be functioning at this point. Same with wifi. Then, you should using Clover configurator copy the contents of the USB EFI into the EFI folder of your SSD EFI partition (in the folder)
- Now we will add this as a native boot option.
- Setup computer as normal, touchpad, brightness, etc, ***should all be functioning at this point.*** Same with wifi. Then, you should using ***OpenCore configurator*** copy the contents of the ***USB EFI*** into the EFI folder of your ***SSD EFI partition (in the folder)***
- Now will we add this as a boot entry so you can always boot from this natively without the USB.
- If wifi does ***not work***, google airport itlwm and replace the version in the EFI with the one meant for your macOS version. Rename to be the same as the name of the kext in the folder.
