Step 3: Disable the Security Features of the Apple T2 Chip

Once you have downloaded the necessary files, you'll need to disable the security features of the Apple T2 chip in your MacBook Pro. This chip is designed to prevent unauthorized access to your computer's hardware and software, so we'll need to disable it in order to install Windows 7.
