missing HFSplus.efi in Drivers64UEFI

Like this?

Is the NVMe SSD natively supported or do I need something else to make it discoverable on the Installer?
I'll try to boot the instalation USB using these drivers + kexts.

let me know how you get on

(AudioDxe-64.efi shouldn't be needed)

What boot flags do I need? I have the lilucpu=8 and the kext-dev-mode=1. Do I need to set the nv_disable=1 for the MX150?

check in windows device manager -> Display and see if you have Intel Graphics as well and let me know

your nvidia card won't work as it is probably optimus technology, switchable graphics not supported

I tried to boot the Installer using the attached EFI Folder. It's been stuck in this for 5 minutes

I don't need NVIDIA. I'll make a patch to disable it once I install Mojave

[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

Overview One of the first challenges you'll face in installing OS X to your laptop will involve getting the OS X installer to boot from USB. This guide is for those wishing to use Clover (and in fact the only bootloader supported here). Both installing using Clover UEFI and Clover legacy are...

DVMT-prealloc on Broadwell/Skylake/Kaby Lake

The Broadwell and Skylake graphics kexts provided by Apple require DVMT-prealloc to be set 64mb or larger. Many laptops set it by default to 32mb, which is not large enough and will cause a KP (kernel panic).

There are ways to set it even if your BIOS does not provide the option, but they are somewhat risky. You can find links to these methods in the laptop FAQ.

I have two options: by default it's on 64MB but I can also choose 32MB (not going to do that).

You should choose one that matches your hardware from this repository:

Should I go with the normal one or with the 'spoof' config file?
CPU Graphics -- Intel UHD Graphics 620

I have to make a new USB Installer (Clover freaked out when I copied EFI v2 - Will attach it).
Tomorrow the NVMe Drive arrives. I'll install it on my laptop and try to install macOS.
