Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming - Help with the basics

[Diegodomene]

Hi there,
I'm not an advanced user, but I think with a little help from the experts of this community, I can hopefully install the High Sierra on my laptop.

After several trials I could finally reach the step 1 (creating the USB boot). For some reason, all the methods (including using UniBeast) failed on installing a Mac OS Installer on the second partition of the pen drive . The only thing that solved the problem was using the Boot Disk Utility directly from Windows. But I'm still not able to boot properly. I already used the standard clover configuration, and a slightly changed config to best match my system using the configurator, also tried to follow along some guides on similar laptops, but the thing is: I've spent a lot of time reading the clovers wiki, and I feel as if would be impossible to understand all the technical stuff if your are not a programmer.

What would be the most essential things to look for on the EFI creation? What kexts and other adds should I definitely include on my install? Since I don't like the idea of messing up with the codes, I'm preferably using clover configurator to edit the config.plist file, but still have no idea of which drivers and kexts should I install.

My laptop details:
Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming
Processor: Intel i7 7700HQ - Kaby Lake - 2.80GHz
Socket 1440 FCBGA (Multiplier 8-38)
Mainboard: Model 065C71 - A00
BIOS:01.00.06
Memory: DDR4 16GB
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 630, but also using a NVidia GTX 1050 Ti (4GB) graphic card.
Just in case, here's the official link of the product: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NAW8DX0/?tag=tonymacx86-21

BIOS SETUP (So far):
I'm using the defaults configuration with a few changes:
- USB powershare disabled
- Secure Boot disabled
- Virtualization direct I/0 disabled

Thanks

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"
