I have read this thread
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/readme-common-some-unsolved-problems-in-10-12-sierra.202316/
Which makes me want to try El Capitan, since it seems more stable.
I will be using this method
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
(shrinking Windows Partition and then installing El Capitan from USB)
and I plan to use this thread as a resource
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...330-u430-u530-using-clover-uefi-10-11.168614/
, hoping that some of the patches and kexts, and methods, are appliceable to my Laptop. At least it's a starting point.
For NVMe support, I have a patched HackrNVMeFamily.kext, and I can prepare the spoof .aml for disabling IONVMeFamily.kext since I identified the path of the NVMe in Device Manager/Windows.
I will spoof the 7200U as a 6200U in Clover.
I will put the https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller
In Kexts/10.11 (I hope that brings keyboard and touchpad support)
I'll read more in the threads I've posted before I start, but is there anything else I should know? I have a few questions and hope a few of them can be answered already.
1) Have I made a mistake choosing El Capitan over Sierra?
2) Is there any danger to the Windows installation, if I don't install Clover? I plan to get rid of Windows, if:
3) Will I have h.265 acceleration in El Capitan, as it's hardware accelerated in Kaby Lake? Will it still work since I spoofed the CPU as Skylake?
4) In the guide for the U310 Lenovos, it states I won't be able to finish without an internet connection. I had hopes I would be able to test to install OS X, and if it's successful, then I'll order a new Broadcom modem. Will I have to have the new modem from the beginning to be able to even install OS X?
The computer in question: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LNOEZ6Q/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
i5 7200U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB Samsung NVMe, onboard graphics. 2 USB 3.0, 1080p screen
Many thanks for any input!
