Correct section for this thread is "Forum > Laptops > Yosemite Laptop Support"

Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

Your discrete graphics (NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M) is not usable on OS X.

Network Adapter Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 1000

Intel WiFi not supported on OS X. Better replace with a compatible one.

Compatible cards are listed here : http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html

It is possible. But you have to wipe out the HDD if the current installation of windows not on UEFI mode.

i don't own or have access to a Macbook

If you don't have access to a machine running OS X then

1. Purchase Snow Leopard Retail DVD
2. Install it with the help of iBoot.
3. Update it to 10.6.8
4. Download the installer package of the latest versions.
5. Make bootable USB with Unibeast/CLOVER
6. Then install the new OS X.

Not a desktop. Moved to laptop support.

Read compatibility overview: http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-compatibility/106791-laptop-compatibility.html

If you have UEFI capability, use Clover: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...oting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover-uefi.html

You can use Clover without UEFI (and you may want to try that), but I don't cover a legacy install in that guide.

Unibeast/Chimera (or Chameleon), read here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-unibeast.html

This is wrong. Been spending some time on setting up macOS 10.12.3 on exactly this machine yesterday and can confirm that using the GT540M works!

Make sure to remove GeForce kext files in S/L/E add Natit540M2GB.kext and revert your BIOS Settings to Optimus when you are done.

Nvidia in Optimus is not supported.

Not trying to prove you wrong here but switching to UMA only gives me a lower Geekbench score. The card works for me on this specific model.

The system is using HD3000 for your display:

No display is active on the Nvidia, so it is just sitting there eating away at your battery:

Okay, is there a way I can use a DSDT patch to change the output?
