thank you so much hamza so i have to get access to system files using a file manager then replace the files

No, don't touch system/boot volume, you have to replace it with existing VoodooPS2Controler under /EFI/OC/Kexts/

imean i have to keep my usb flash drive connected to boot to macos if not it will boot automatically to windows or linux

Window/Linux boot entry should show up in OpenCore Bootloader. If it's isn't available then you might need to specify them under "BlessOverride" in config.plist file, or you can also create, or you might need to create custom boot entires (check OpenCore Documentation for details).

I'm running Big Sur (just saying), it's not impossible to but need to have understanding of what you are doing.

In EFI/OC/Kexts on the usb flash drive right? I did it but nothing changed the trachpad wont click and num pad wont work too , the wifi is working but i have to type a command in terminal at every boot + can i install the opencore on the pc without using glash drive ? Thank you so much brother pay god bless you

Num Lock key should work with VoodooPS2Controller.kext post #271, and Trackpad buttons won't work (at least for now). some people over Acidanthera are trying to fix the Button issue (not specifically for Legion series) and their solution might also work for Legion Y530.

the wifi is working but i have to type a command in terminal at every boot

add Itlwm or AirportItlwm to kexts folder and also update config.plist to load this new kext.

can i install the opencore on the pc without using glash drive

copy your EFI folder from USB to Internal EFI partition and then in BIOS change boot order according. if you can't see the OpenCore entry in BIOS after copying, then you can use EFI Shell to create custom boot entry.

Good morning Hamza i placed all files on kexts but nothing changed i edited the plist files with my wifi bssid and pswd but still nothing changed i have to type the command to enable it at every boot + the speed is slow im getting 50mbps down and 20 upload and in windows getting 650mbps down and 400mbps up. Why?

Kernel extension shown in image is "AppleIntelWiFi" and not "AirportItlwm".
"AppleIntelWiFi" is older closed-source implementation and it doesn't support network switching from menu bar.
I guess you aren't paying attention, not sure where you got AppleIntelWiFi from as i attached link to Itlwm repostitory.

i placed all files on kexts but nothing changed i edited the plist files with my wifi bssid and pswd

you don't need to edit kexts plist file for AirportItlwm(bssid/pwd), also for AirportItlwm to work you need OpenCore version 0.6.1 or above.

the speed is slow im getting 50mbps down and 20 upload and in windows getting 650mbps down and 400mbps up. Why?

Speed is slow, because it only support 802.11n (20Mhz). and it's mentioned in Itlwm documentation, 40Mhz implementation is being worked on (80Mhz 802.11ac after that).

If you need more speed swap Wi-Fi/BT module with compatible Broadcom module.
