[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

I have added apfs.efi in drivers64UEFI but after installation finished, clover does not show the drive. What I did wrong?
adding apfs.efi in drivers64 solved the problem
 
In previous versions, I logged into OSX through USB disk. Now I want to boot osx without USB.
For dual booting: I cannot find "EFI/Microsoft/Boot/". Where is it? Is it in windows?
I activated the OsX partition using disk part command in windows. Now, at startup clover loads and I can enter osx. but not windows. If I want to go to windows I should activate the windows partition.

You must be using Clover legacy... (Clover legacy uses drivers64, Clover UEFI uses drivers64UEFI).
You need to update your profile to indicate Clover legacy, screen resolution, and chipset.

EFI/Microsoft is on your EFI partition, but only if Windows is installed UEFI.
Read the FAQ for how to mount EFI.

But you likely do not have Window installed in UEFI mode... (just assuming that since you're booting Clover in legacy, that your Windows is also installed legacy).

If your BIOS has UEFI, you should install both Clover and Windows in UEFI.

Unfortunately my laptop is old and I install in legacy mode.

To do dual boot you will likely need to install Windows in UEFI mode (you can do so by booting the Windows installer from Clover).

Because otherwise you'll likely have issues trying to boot Windows legacy from Clover legacy...
 
Trying to boot the installer for my Lenovo thinkpad t450. Using the your HD5500 config plist. Using verboose it's stuck with the message:

"OsxAptionFixDrv: Starting overrides for \.IABootFiles\boot.efi
Using reloc block: yes, hibernate wake: no"

Any suggestions on how to solving this issue?

Thank you very much.

The guide suggests using AptioMemoryFix.efi before OsxAptioFix*.efi. Note that AptioMemoryFix.efi does not require EmuVariableUefi-64.efi.

The guide recommends using the RehabMan Clover build.

What version of macOS?
From where did you download macOS?
On what hardware did you create your USB installer?
