[Guide] Lenovo Z50-70/Z40-70/G50-70/G40-70 using Clover UEFI

[doctor.soffix]

Anyone successfully upgraded rather than a fresh install? I've tried but im just getting the broken duplicated apple screen when the install starts. I've upgraded clover etc as the generic upgrade guide suggests

Just put the important kext to Clover Others

Ok, so it started working now, but I can't control it with F11 or F12.. only with F15/14

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

There is a separate guide for the G50.
Search for it in the guides forum(s).

I followed this guide to install Sierra. Now i search for G50 guide to install High Sierra.

High Sierra is not much different from Sierra.

Hello,

after some reading and testing I'm now ready to start my laptop with Clover and I can also start the setup.
However, after starting the setup the dialog with the selection of the setup options is displayed unreadable. It looks as if the screen would be controlled with too high a resolution or frequency.
How can I influence that?

Unfortunately, I can't start the system under MacOS yet, so I can only offer the EFI directory of the USB stick as problem reporting.

Thanks for your help

Wolfgang

From your description, no photo,... a guess...
Enable legacy boot/CSM in BIOS.

@RehabMan: that was my missing link!
Thanks a lot

Hackintosh works fine now, except audio.
As in the guide mentioned i should start without cache and rebuild the cache.
But how can I get to the clover startmenu?
Now it starts direct to MacOS
