Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, you are right. However, the install_downloads.sh fails in my case because I have two working disks as stated in the previous thread.

So I need specific steps to fix this problem.

Here are my reported problem files.

I would appreciate any help

No need for a new thread.
I replied to your issue in the other thread you linked in post #1.
You need to not use "core storage" and follow the Probook guide as written.

Hi RehabMan

Thanks a lot.

I found the following article

I have written
$ diskutil cs list
Code:

            Volume Name:           sierraSSD

Now I am at the following step
sudo diskutil cs revert DA392CB8-2EE6-4763-8641-A354360038AF

I have the following questions before going ahead ...
1) Does it affect my files or my new installation which is working fine except F2 and F3 function keys?
2) Are there any specific steps or workaround to enable the function keys again?
3) What about this guide?
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...rol-using-applebacklightinjector-kext.218222/
Does it solve my problem and also does it need reverting the core storage?

Regards

RehabMan,

You are brilliant...
Thanks a lot. It works now!

Do you have guide for High Sierra?
Do you recommend upgrading my 4530s to High Sierra?
