Hackintosh HP Envy 15-3040NR

Hi !

I've been studying the possibility of installing OSX Sierra on my HP Envy 15-3040NR. However, I have a series of questions about my computer.

First of all, I would like to know if my computer is compatible with OSX Sierra (or HighSierra) and which drivers of MultiBeast should I install.

I. Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM (Intel Core i7)
II. Graphics adapter: AMD Radeon HD 7690M - 1024 MB, Core: 600 MHz, Memory: 800 MHz, 8.882.2.3000
III. Soundcard: Intel Cougar Point PCH - High Definition Audio Controller
V. Networking:

- Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) (10MBit),
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 (a/b/g/n)/ Intel 2x2 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN + (I searched the internet in order to know which one it was and found these 2 options)
- Bluetooth 3.0​

Finally, I'm wondering if it is possible to create 2 partitions on my Hard Drive and use one with Windows and the other one with Sierra.

Thanks !

Not a desktop. Moved to laptop support.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"
