There is only one config plist with 4400 in the name... so the choice is obvious.

HD4000 is Ivy Bridge, so completely different generation than your Haswell with HD4400.
 
at the Base Binaries clone method:
2nd step: hdiutil attach "/Applications/Install OS X El Capitan.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg" -readonly -mountpoint /tmp/install_esd -nobrowse

Gives me the error: attach failed - no such file or directory.

I'm sure the directory is there so I've no idea why it's saying that.
Any idea's?

Thanks in advance!

See typo fixed in #2742.
 
To recover Clover, easy way:
- on the EFI partition: rename EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi
Click to expand...

I tried this and the only result I saw was that upon booting, I had a windows XP style progressbar (or old school maybe some recovery graphics, not the usual windows 10 spinning circle) for a few seconds before the boot went back to windows 10 as normal.

My EFI volume has
- APPLE
- Boot
- CLOVER
- Microsoft
