[Guide] Lenovo Legion y530-y540 Laptop on Catalina 10.15

Thanks to the author for his work!
successfully installed mojave with efi 3.01 on my legion 540
I also want to ask if the hackintosh can somehow harm a laptop?
to break the nvidia graphics card? or something else?

Making a hackintosh can't harm your laptop. That would be like a TV show breaking your TV. The Nvidia graphics card just won't be recognised by macOS, it will still work in Windows. I've been using Hackintoshes since 2012 and haven't had any bad effects other that a few sleepless nights when I was trying to get things working.
 
Hello! I understand that there are no ways to connect an external monitor when the hackintosh is installed?

i'm using EFI 3.0.0. When i closing case, Catalina reboots instead sleep. It's already fixed in next releases? maybe i need download 3.0.1 or 3.0.2 ?

Hey sorry If I am asking noob question..

So obviously I have gone through the guide and I understand most of the process except how to replace wifi card and more importantly which one to pick .

Now I have gone through the wifi guide but I don't understand if I should be buying M.2 or PcIe or mini for my y540 also because I saw the above video but it's seems more complicated ( maybe due to entennas ? ) than
?

Or does it depend on what kind of card a laptop comes pre-installed with ie m.2 or PCIe or also can you keep original one and add new one to different slot like Ssd ?

Sorry I am kind of confused can anyone help me choose which card should I buy and would be an easy switch ?

Ps : Also I found these cards (attached) near me as of now if it's not a problem can anyone tell which one would be the best one to buy for y540 ?

I bought the 04X6020 card and haven't had any issues with it in my build.
