High Sierra install hangs at apple logo

[goldandblack]

Hi forgive my lack of technical ability and crude explanations.

I have a HP Spectre XT Ultrabook Pro trying to install High Sierra on.

Intel (R) Core(TM) i5-3317U

I get to the screen with the option 'Boot macOS Install from Install macOS High Sierra'. When I click enter to install I am left at the apple logo with the loading bar empty and it just hangs there. Anyone can help explain what to do in layman's terms?

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?"
