the RULES
Graphics
so ignore me
I finished installing High Sierra with dual boot on my old Inspiron N5110 Using UniBeast but since it has Optimus I can’t enable GPU in it.

I have another laptop which is Dell L501x which doesn’t have Optimus (since 1st gen i7 don’t have intel graphics) and only has Nvidia

Specification:
CPU - 1st Gen Core i7 740QM
GPU - Nvidia GT435M


I created an USB installer with Unibeast in Legacy Mode.
Changing/Adding following files got me to installer screen.

- HFSPLUS-64.drv

But the display is in Low Res. So didn’t installed.

Since it has No Intel GPU I want to make it work with Nvidia GPU


I tried the following methods
InjectNvidia - Gave me black screen.
Use web drivers - black screen



Can anyone here help me. Since my laptop is really old I could get help anywhere.
