So I got a USB-C adapter and connected my external display. Anytime I go to boot up, it still uses the built-on screen and does not trigger the external display.
Update #1:
Disabling NVidia Inject (setting it to NO), got me up to the boot screen. It got caught up at the same error as before for about 5-10 seconds but then the UI showed up.
Let's see how this goes.
Update #2:
Gets stuck forever on the "about a minute remaining" with a full progress bar screen. Tried 3 times with the same end result. Any suggestions? Getting around menus to format the drive, etc is very very laggy too.... sometimes even freezes on trying to select what format to erase the drive to (APFS, HFS, etc).
Update #3:
After numerous reboots and attempts, finally got passed formatting the drive as APFS and passed that first installation screen. Rebooted, selected Install Mac OS from Mac OS X (the name I gave to my drive) and it continued install. Although verbose was selected, after verbose screen it went to the Mac OS boot screen with the apple logo in the middle and the loading bar underneath. It then got stuck at about 20% for about 20 minutes. Then it booted back into UI and now it's been stuck on the following screen for over an hour.
Update #4:
After many force restarts and tries again, I'm finally booted up into Mac OS X 10.13.3. I installed nvidia webdrives but no matter how many restarts, they won't activate. Having hard time navigating around to even install the clover to drive EFI, extremely laggy.
