lenovo s340 ideapad with 256GB SSD only (no hard drive)

[VButala]

Can I install hackintosh on Lenovo S340 ideapd with 256GB SSD only - I configured 3 partitions 40GB each and reinstall Win10 on one of the partition. Not sure if this laptop can support Hackintosh. If not, can you please let me know which Lenovo laptop with SSD will be built to install Hackintosh. If Lonovo S340 is not supported, I can return within 14 days, so let me know. Thanks Vasant

More Information -
I tried USB boot after creating <Install macOS Mojave.app> and also <Install macOS Sierra.app). Lenove is S340 which has Intel i5-8265u 1.60ghz 64 bit processor.

I changed BIOS (1) VT = disable (also tried enable), (2) Disk changed to AHCI, (3) Secure boot=disable (and some additional boot parameter like nvda_drv=1 -no -zp -v and npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=1 etc.

All tries stopped at the same place (End RandomSeed). I get clover display and I can change boot parameter and click correct (Boot macOS iinstall...) using boot driver.

It seems there is something stopping me after loading OS on drive. to get next step - which is after <Apple Logo> and loading OS - which is moving bar - which never happens.
So my guess is (1) Hardware not comparable OR (2) something inBIOS is not setup correctly.
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,

I think you can refer to the ‘acer swift 5’ guide.

I'm thinking about getting this laptop, is there a wifi whitelist? Since I'm planning on just using my DW1560 if there is no whitelist
