Look at your misc/preboot.log.
Clover is unable to detect your EDID:

Code:

17:178  0:000  EdidDiscovered size=0

Which means you'll need to get it from Windows and set it at config.plist/Graphics/EDID/Custom.

How do you recommend getting the EDID I have tried a couple of programs and it always failed for whatever reason.

It is available in the Intel graphics control panel.

I found where the EDID was and saved the device config as a text. I put it in the config (not sure if proper) and it resulted in a white screen. In the efi folder there is a txt file called "Device Info.txt" that has all the info from Intel Control Panel as well.

You might want to check in the same app in Windows to see how the display is connected.
If it is eDP, be aware that eDP is not well supported by macOS/OS X graphics drivers (Apple's devices use LVDS).
Also, check BIOS settings... make sure CSM/legacy boot is enabled.

The connector type is LVDS and the device type is LFP. In BIOS I do not see the CSM at all (I've checked everywhere but isn't it suppose to be under the boot tab? Also how I injected the EDID was proper?

With BIOS as old as yours, CSM, if not a separate option, is enabled if you enable legacy boot.

Also how I injected the EDID was proper?

You failed to attach full PR files, so I didn't check.

Changes were made in the config in "config.plist/Graphics/EDID/Custom" and I attempted to add EDID (could be improper) in the directory you mentioned.

This is what I pasted into it but it changed but that could be from formatting or how clover needs to read it (no I didn't past RAW EDID into Xcode. Also, I tried changing my BIOS to legacy but that results in me not being able to boot into the USB these are the options I have which if something is wrong there I can change that as well.

You should boot with the invalid device-id so you can collect ioreg and determine whether the AAPL00,override-no-connect was injected.

With UEFI/Legacy Boot = "Both" you will have UEFI with CSM.

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

I used a 2010 iMac and created the installer with it using the guide (which I have to say is way better than Unibeast of constantly having to mount EFI). I also have a desktop Hackintosh that I can make edits on. Also, how do I properly gather the ioreg, I tried following the FAQ but I couldn't get that to work?

Getting ioreg is as simple as running IORegistryExplorer.app and doing a File->Save As or File->Save Copy As.
