Hi, this is my first hackintosh so I might be unaware or unwilling to dig deep into specifics of the terminology. Basically I am unhappy with Windows 7 Pro on my X1 Carbon as I see this hardware/platform being capable of much more but unfortunately Windows 10 seems to be just a facelift of Windows 8 with some features inherited from W7.
So, that said, I decided to go with OS X on an external SSD while I am waiting for my new X1 Carbon with touchscreen and higher resolution to arrive so I can then just transfer the disk image.
The current patient is 20BTS2FJ00 and after reading the Yosemite X1 guide I felt a bit TL;DR and don't really feel that things are as complicated with El Capitan on Broadwell that one needs to patch a kernel.
So far I have accomplished the following:
1. Created the Unibeast USB on a 16GB stick on another machine with 10.11.
2. Got an external USB dock for X1 and attached SSD, network and external mouse/keyboard to that.
3. Installed El Capitan on external and got mouse and trackpad working(until you get Rehabmans PS2 kext it doesn't).
4. Got sound working also following instructions from Yosemite guide.
5. Currently trying to get rid of video lag and install clover so I can start the machine without Unibeast stick.
6. Clover did not install for some reason and I am now trying to follow all the instructions that touch this matter.
WiFi is external and I am planning to keep it so.
