Probably..

Except there is no HD4600 on Ivy. Ivy is HD4000.

Keep in mind hacks other than the ProBook are much more difficult, as everything must be done manually.

I know, so it means i have to Patch the dsdt by myself?
Can i use your Patches aswell?
And the other things like ssdt, CPU Management etc?
I'll just try First the probook installer then manuelly

Everything.

The ProBook Installer only works on supported HP ProBooks/EliteBooks.

Ok so if it isnt supported i cannot use it?
Where Do I get my ssdt etc from?

Correct. It won't work. It is written for the ProBook.

Where Do I get my ssdt etc from?

You must do it all manually. Certain parts of the ProBook Installer are useful, but not all. SSDT can be generated from ssdtPRgen.sh script (and maybe ProBook Installer).

AppleHDA must be created manually. DSDT patches must be discovered/applied manually. Correct kexts must be installed manually. Correct bootflags must be provided. smbios.plist must be created, etc, etc.
