2. After Clover Installation Merge the Clover Folder from USB installer to your System(partition EFI) Clover Folder
3. Add HFS+.efi or Apfs.efi to UEFI64 to be able to read your SSD or USB (depending whether you above the APFS or not)
3. Install Kext needed on L/E (you might need install FAKE SMC and VodooController.kext (green=kext needed to spoof to KBL, gray = kext needed to your System)

Hey, glad you sorted out the thing!
Could you maybe post a summary of what is working and what is not for users who want to Hackintosh their Y530?
Could you also tell about Wi-Fi card. Did you replace yours? Does BIOS have card whitelist or no whitelist as in Y520?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I have EXACTLY SAME configuration like you. (Lenovo Legion y530)
Everything is same, except have 128 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD.

I have Windows installed on SSD.
Can you tell me, which steps did you follow to get this working?
Actually, I am new to this world, so....

Thanks.

@RaviKavaiya Are you trying to install 10.13 or 10.14?

High Sierra. Because, I heard that Mojave doesn't work well with nVIDIA.
I don't want to face problems regarding this.

BTW, what about you? HS or mojave?
