Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI

[dikkiedirk]

Couple of questions:

Does a Yosemite install offer better compatibility with the Probook series than Mountain Lion?
Will everything work equally well in Yosemiti as in Mountain Lion on a Probook 4730s with 2670 QM CPU, HD3000 and 1600x900 screen?

With Mountain Lion I had to disable Switchable Graphics. Must Switchable Graphics be enabled this time?

When creating the USB I get two choices, 2a or 2b. 2a is fully automatic and I won't have to manually copy any files? Is that correct? Which offers the best success ratio?

They are about equal.

The ProBook Installer will create DSDT/SSDT patches that disable the Radeon for OS X. You can keep it enabled and still use it in Windows.

Wtih 2a, you'll get a recovery partition. Other than that, the results are the same.

Step 2a is just running the script in Terminal and it is ready? No manual intervention needed?

Correct. It is completely documented in post #1.

I am reading this forum by 2 weeks and getting more and more info, but it is so hard for me regardless. First, I have a question about my laptop. If I follow this instructions step by step, without small changes, could I Instal Yosemite on my ASUS n550-jv. i7 4700, 4gb RAM, Intel HD G 4600 and nVidia 750m. Or is the best way to follow other topic. I´m interested in, but i have just 16, and I don´t understand English very well, it takes me too much time.

Thumb up for this community, tonymacx86, Rehabman and all other admins, great work.

Is the BIOS version of a 4730s important? Mine has F40. Which one is recommended?

I haven't heard of anyone getting any built-in WWAN cards to work.

Interestingly the network panel shows a modem and the system report shows a vendor specific USB device that might be the GSM/LTE module. The HP spec sheet says:

HP lt4112 LTE/HSPA+ Mobile Broadband
