[Guide] Dell Inspiron 15 7559 (Skylake, i7-6700HQ, Intel HD 530) Using Clover

[RehabMan]

I'm using i7 model. I tried many methods but the result is still the same

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

Pay attention the Skylake info in the FAQ. It is important.

Mobo: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
Mobo: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Note: When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI"

I have the inspiron 7559 (i7 version with only a full HD screen), I upgraded it with a 256gb ssd and doubled the ram to 16gb before i even turned it on the first time. I haven't changed my wireless chip out. My efi partition on the SSD is 600mb (not exactly sure why it's that big actually) If I downgrade my bios to 1.1.5, partition half my SSD and install with clover what can i expect to work?

... what can i expect to work?

Read post #1.

So I was able to install to my hard drive, but I can't seem to actually boot into this install from the USB. I get a black screen after the verbose boot text finishes. If I try using RehabMan's HD520/530/540 plist, it never gets past the initial AptioDrvFix messages. Any idea what might be causing this?

Boot verbose, show photo. Post EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).

I was finally able to change DVMT prealloc using AFUWINGUI.

With that, I went through the Clover USB setup guide and still am getting this:

Attached is my EFI folder.

As per guide, use OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi not OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi.
You will also likely need to use a FakeID to avoid the graphics drivers (due to UHD).

And in this link is the result of that. Progress at least...

I also included images of the options menu, graphics menu, and PCI devices menu.
