ACPI/origin files are too old to compare against ACPI/patched. You forgot to press F4.
Also misc/preboot.log is missing. You forgot to press F2.

Please read "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully.

Note: Patched ACPI is not required to reach the installer.
Your drivers64UEFI is wrong (OsxAptioFix2 and OsxAptioFix are mutually exclusive).
Your Clover/kexts is not according to the guide.
See guide:

Your profile indicates you have only Intel graphics.
Either your profile is wrong or you're posting in the wrong thread. This thread only applies to dual GPU computers.

I am running Clover Dual boot with both MacOS Sierra and Windows 10. I have followed the instructions on direct update for High Sierra and was able to create the installation option in Clover. However stuck with the same WindowServer error.

I have followed the Option 3 instructions to create a DSDT spoof to disable the discrete NVidia but still cannot proceed with the installation. I am uploading my Clover folder for your verification.

PS: I have ordered the spoof DSDT to the sort order in plist, but i do not see that loading from the origin files dump. Also, If I choose the Sierra boot option, I am able to boot to it and use it without issue.

Could you kindly help me navigate this issue and complete the installation?

Disabling discrete graphics from ACPI-tables is most easy way, bro!
Try these patched-files...put them to .../ACPI/patched/ ...and can add SSDT Piker-Alpha to optimizing Power Manager

Same properties for desktop vs. laptop.
I have used both methods (SSDT and AddProperties) on my Z270/i7-7700k/Nvidia 1050Ti system.
Both work.
