Hello
Using forum posts and the wonderful guide, I have successfully shoe-horned High Sierra 10.13 into an HP Elitedesk SFF 800 G1 and wanted to post my shortcuts for the next person.
1. Use the standard 10.13 guide (with Clover and Clover Configure) with the following mods.
2. HD4600 will not drive the Displayport ports out of the box. You must use the Intel inject setting. The machine will not boot with anything plugged into either DP port without this. If you use VGA, graphics memory will be capped at 7mb and is bad. If using VGA, the Inject Intel setting will halt boot up. Install IntelGraphicsFixup.kext also
3. Sound does not work. Buy a USB dongle for $2.
4. USB3 needs the Inject USB fix. USBInjectAll.kext
5. The 800 g1 has 10 USB ports. You must increase the USB Port numbers (in Clover Config I think)
6. IntelMausiEthernet.kext gets the ethernet port running
7. Sleep is tricky. Use FakeSMC.kext but you WILL need to do the whole Terminal scripting business and compiling that are disucssed in other posts. Then if works a treat.
Not a too painful process. Getting the graphics working took time.
Thank Tonymac crew for the info and awesome guides.
