I have similar laptop, I tried with no success. I think the bios doesn't have all the options to customize for hackintosh. But I look forward to find a way to install it.

Also it would be good to write a guide here for future reference for other people, If you found any solution.
 
I actually have a very similar laptop and I managed to get it working, and in fact, I'm using it to type this. You may want to refer to this:

and this is what I personally used:

Although, I should say, I installed it onto an external hard drive and I run the OS off of a USB port, and while it's decent, it's not amazing. I have tried to install it onto the internal NVMe drive, but the moment you turn off the Rapid Storage Technology setting in the bios, then the installer won't boot.

Also, you'll need to rely on integrated graphics because that GeForce MX230 isn't going to work afaik.
