[Guide] Lenovo Legion Y520/Y720 using Clover UEFI

[the-braveknight]

I understood you! If you are not opposed, will I continue to insert my fixes?

Not sure know what you mean by "opposed" and "insert my fixes". I already told you that I might review your key mappings later when/if you add more important/convenient mappings. However, I’m not remapping "Windows" <-> "Alt" keys.

 

[RehabMan]

We have.

You might want to use it (google). Quite useful to find things.

I'm sorry for my English

Thank you for all that you said! I'll do as you say!

Do you guys use the 128GB ssd to install mojave? or to the hdd.
I have high sierra on my 1TB HDD, if i install mojave on SSD does it wipe the windows OS on it and convert to APFS?

I have macOS installed on my 256GB NVMe SSD. You should read Clover guide linked in post #1.

My Lenovo Y520 doesn't have an SD card (my model is the one with GTX1060 that comes with no SD card), but if this really works, I'd rather fake the PCI id with FakePCIID.kext instead. Can you test with FakePCIID.kext?

Maybe @RehabMan can walk you through the process...

The binpatch is patching something FakePCIID can't spoof...

I see... so that leaves us with only the binary patches. But I'll probably replace the Info.plist patch with an injector kext instead.
