I own a P71 and will be happy to follow all instructions step by step! Thank you
 
Will we need a special WiFi or Ethernet card? I have the p71 with the Xeon processor

you will need a Hackintosh compatible wifi Bluetooth card, you can replace it easily.
 
Will the WiFi Card work on this that's my biggest concern as I don't use blue tooth

Unfortunately, no, you can check out my guide, I updated this thread.
 
Will USB 3.0 work on this Hackintosh?

I found a Mac compatible USB card for WiFi

NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC1900 Dual-Band WiFi USB 3.0 Adapter


Also what doesn’t work besides usb ?

Will my 4K display still work on the laptop itself?

Usb works fine.
Things don't work:
wifi bluetooth
fingerprint sensor
color calibrator
 
I will be doing your install tomorrow morning after I get the WiFi card. I don’t care much about Bluetooth color calibrator or finger print sensor.

I am using these 2 Hackintoshes for visualization research which includes maya film editing app development which is why I really need OS Xz you can’t develops iOS apps on windows so I figure going completely Mac opens a lot of doors for me
 
Can the brightness be adjusted without using the keyboard if I make the GPU my primary driver?

If I don’t make the GPU my primary driver and I use it with the laptop screen will resolve and premiere and after effects still activate the GPU ?
 
Steps are excellent so far thank yoU!
