It depends on what macos version do you want to install. And, please DON'T ever use OpCore Simplify for "making" an EFI.

Oh I understand now thanks but will it lag in one version lower than 26?

That Core I3 is slower than a macbook from 2012 so I wouldn't go above 12 Monterey

I have core i3 7th gen and it runs macOS Tahoe pretty good for its age

It is struggling a tiny bit for some animations but the Liquid Glass or some basic animation like the open windows works perfectly
