[Guide] Install High Sierra or Mojave on the Dell Optiplex 7010 / 9010 Desktop PC - Revision II

@mynewmachine Thanks for the tip. I had called it ACPI patching tools instead of DSDT ... It's attached at the end of post #1 see below.

Thank you so much for the guide!

As a first time Hackintosher, it was a pretty smooth experience. I was able to pick up a 9010 MT i7 3770 for $180 on eBay and I'm thrilled.

I did run into a bit of an issue during the initial install. Installation simply stopped (kernel panic?) a few times. I simply rebooted and tried again and it kept getting further and further along. Everything finally completed but it was certainly a bit strange.

Everything works great, iMessage too. Just ordered the Fenvi FV-T919 PCI card for wifi/bluetooth from Newegg (paid a bit more but shipping speed is king ) so I should be able to have a handoff/airdrop/continuity working.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the guide! Got a 9010 from my work (they sell off all their retired hardware every few months) for $15. Found a 3475S on eBay for $40 and I'm all set! Spent a little time working on it today and everything's working fine so far! The only issue I have is with the cloning. Clover boots up but doesn't show any partitions for some reason. I'll keep working at it, but if anyone has any suggestions, it would be helpful.

I manage to install High Sierra on my machine is booting up now even without usb, my another issue is the graphics card and audio, this is my first time configuring hackintosh.

Nice work, apojukay. Keep using the HD4000 graphics as your GT 610 is not supported by High Sierra. For audio simply install the AppleALC from Multibeast and then reboot.

Use the Displayport output on the back panel of your 9010. Use a DP to HDMI adapter if your monitor doesn't have DP. HD4000 will work at a full 1080p. You'll need to remove the 610 to use the HD4000.
