Lenovo Ideapad Y700 + Sierra 10.12.1(16B2657)

You forgot two things:
- DropOem must be true with patched SSDTs in ACPI/patched
- you must use SortedOrder to specify SSDT load order

so should I name SSDT-15 to SSDT-8??

never mind... stupid question

Hello.
I also have Lenovo Y700 (15ISK) and I was thinking about putting hackintosh on it.
As I am beginner I will surely follow that thread and ask some questions.

First of all, I am curious if, for example Dell Inspiron 15 7559 has more or less similar hardware to Y700, I can seek for solutions in their tread?

About your Wi-fi/Bluetooth problem, as I found out I have Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260, do you have some other or is it going to be problematic for me as well?

Intel wireless is not supported, you have to replace a compatible one ( I choose BCM94352Z, and it works fine, about 30 bucks)

But have you tried this:
https://github.com/ammulder/AppleIntelWiFiMVM/

It's from this thread:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/intel-wifi-driver-effort.186344/

Maybe worth trying to make it work rather than spending $30

According to pioneers in this forum, it's way more worth just replace with a compatible wifi chip rather than finding driver for chip that is natively unsupported by Apple. WIFI and battery are life of laptop.

Did you actually read post #1 at that thread?

Is your NVIDIA working?

Is your NVIDIA working?

nope. New MacBooks are all using iGPU, so i think as RehabMan said, it is impossible to turn it on unless Nvidia optimizes the driver for MacBooks. Desktops are different, cuz they use system definition as iMac instead of MacBook and nvidia web drivers work for that setting.
