Hi,
I am using Haswell i7-4700MQ intel HD4600 and Nvidia Geforce GTX 765M. I am working so well now on Sierra 10.12.6 everything is fine until I tried for upgrading to High Sierra. The installer stuck on WindowServer 0. Some articles I read and the problem is because of Dual Graphics.
I have followed your guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-disabling-discrete-graphics-in-dual-gpu-laptops.163772/

tried to find some methods on SSDT for disabling and i got
grep -l Method.*_OFF *.dsl
DSDT.dsl
SSDT-10-SgPeg.dsl
SSDT-11-OptTabl.dsl

grep -l Method.*_INI *.dsl
DSDT.dsl
SSDT-9-SaSsdt .dsl
SSDT-10-SgPeg.dsl
SSDT-11-OptTabl.dsl


after that step, I compiled all of it, got some errors on those files. Now I am lost, need your help, please check my clover folder.
Thank you

For reaching the installer, you can just spoof:

Disabling the actual device can be a post install task:
