Already knew that, and not from you, see my Asus x99 build.
I'd post more about my HP ProBook 450 G4, i7-7500U,
fully functional without your stuff (i.e. hotpatch).
But you persist on spoiling the moment.

What does X99 have to do with Kaby Lake?

I don't see how I'm spoiling anything.
I simply responded to your vague message 'Yes' (reply to an old thread) with further information that clarifies the current state of Kaby Lake requirements.

The use of FakeCPUID, the bleeding edge, what else ?

The post "Yes" isn't vague, it's simple and to the point.
I haven't found anyone else reporting success.

I tried posting a guide but you interfered.
You keep putting in your two cents before I've finished.
You seem to think HP ProBook is your territory alone.

On that note I'm done.

You are free to post your own guide. Guides go here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/forums/sierra-laptop-guides.189/

But... If/when someone comes along with details on the Kaby Lake ProBook in my guide thread, I will likely add support for it, provided it continues to be similar to the previous ProBook/EliteBook laptops.
