    To be honest, I wouldn't install a hackintosh if you're not familiar with all of these to begin with.

    Try to google for it and see if you can find out how to fix it I guess?

    I don't know how to get external monitor working yet, since I don't actually have one to test.

    MacOS can read NTFS but can't write without additional installs. Windows can't see MacOS partitions, naturally. But yes you can boot between the two - just need to select boot drive at POST.

    When you start up the laptop, you should see a menu after the Dell Logo disappears. There's an option called modGRUBShell. Select that and follow the guide. It disables the CFG-Lock because Dell doesn't allow us to do that in the BIOS.

    Not quite. It's got a different pin layout and does not have subwoofers. The current audio config is partially taken from XPS 9300.

    I haven't got an external monitor to test so I'm not sure. I can't tell if the audio is coming out of the top facing speakers, but I'm not sure how to fix it if it isn't.

    Dell XPS 15 9500 USB mapping issue - USB ports not detected / VoodooI2C Trackpad "Timeout waiting for bus not to be busy"

    I haven't tried video out since I don't have an external monitor, or a HDMI cable. Is that with the USB hub that came with the XPS?

    Like I said on my repo, I followed this guide: https://dortania.github.io/getting-started/

    It should. EDIT: make sure you read the README. You'll need to run SMBIOS to generate your own serial and disable cfg lock at least. https://github.com/zachs78/MacOS-XPS-9500-OpenCore#important

    There should be no need to change anything with your CPU.

    I'm pretty sure the 7590 needs a different USB mapping. You should really be using an EFI tailored for your laptop instead.

    I haven't tried. See https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/releases/tag/v1.1.0 for more info.

    The manufacturers usually say whether the drive supports MacOS. If not, you can always look for reviews on Amazon to see if anyone's bought it to use on their Mac. Personally I've got a Seagate Barracuda 510 m.2 drive.
