In case you guys are still wondering about it here it is:
Been running it on my Lenovo ThinkPad L440 since Public Beta 1.
Intel HD 4600 Graphics Full QE/CI
On Public Beta 8 Right now.

The thing is my EFI wont work for your laptop, you have to read and patch your own, but for having it as a template on what i did
here you can go to my guide, which i will create it for High Sierra to Sierra Laptop Guides section tomorrow but for now go to:

Just I see in your signature you don't have discrete grapichs (NVidia or AMD), and I asume this is the problem in many laptops with HD4600 my case for example, I can't boot into installer because I have some issues related to the grapichs (I asume this is because the installer try to load the nvidia kext even with nv_disable=1) and for some people this is the real problem.

The solution to fix this by @RehabMan is patch ACPI and disable or disapear complete the BUS for discrete graphics and then we can go the installation without problem, well many people like me are not very fan of code and sometimes this is a little problem but I'm triying to lear how to patch all SSDT ...

Regards,

Try disabling your Nvidia.
Some are reporting that it conflicts, even with nv_disable=1.

Note:
- if you do it from BIOS and have patched ACPI, make sure you re-extract/re-patch
- if you do it via ACPI edits, make sure your ACPI is done correctly (guide is linked from the laptop FAQ)

Ok Thanks RehabMan I did disable Nvidia gpu with dsdt reg fix but thats doesn't seem enough so will have another go with ssdts edits cheers!

I saw people saying no one managed to install High Sierra on HD4600, so i just wanted to show that there are people and there's no problem with that,but the thing is even with dual/discrete graphics it is possible to install, you just have to configure your config.plist properly "for installation" so after you reach desktop, then you can fix the other issues like disabling the discrete GPU).

Press F4 on clover bootloader menu "to dump ACPI Tables" and then attach the EFI Folder again (remove themes folder).
From the last EFI Folder you posted your config.plist was already messy.

- Wrong SMBIOS
- Wrong "Enabled" Patches in Kernel & Kext Patches & ACPI/DSDT Patches.
- You don't need those Firmware Features, don't touch them.

Just attach the EFI Folder as requested and i will send you a config.plist to and a ACPI Patch to test out if you can start installer.

Thanks for that, I'm trying very hard to install HS in my laptop, I already got patched and disable discrete graphics, sorry if in any moment you think I'm against you, I try to install on my laptop several times, always the same problem.

I will appreciate a lot if you can help me, even with my other stuff like my bluetooth, I have the Mini PCIe QCA9565 and the wifi is working fine, and the bluetooth is detected out uf the box but is not working I review the USB BUS and is present but nobody can see and don't see anything :)

Thanks
