Hello
I open this topic to ask for help, configuring my laptop (see profile).
MSI72 VR 7RF
I saw a ver similar case here which already helped me to fix some issues :
MSI GF62VR 7RF with Sierra 10.12.6
[Guide] MSI GF62VR 7RF with Sierra 10.12.6 from goldenegg
... but since I don't use exactly the same model, I prefer to follow the main guide first and compare in case of problem.
It's my first time to set up a laptop hackintosh and I still need to learn a lot about it. So by advance sorry if I ask noobish questions. I am not programmer but I can understand programming logic, if I know where to start. I'm still reading RehabMan's guides on this forum and notes in Github but still didn't succeed to understand them at 100% to be able to apply everything. So I wanna ask for help here to be able to fix everything step by step and learn how to do for future other laptops.
Here are the problems that I got so far. I'm going to update this post according to the evolution of my configuration.
