Please remember I'm a total newbie at this and this is my first ever attempt at Hackintoshing.
I can't find the right Laptop to buy for myself, so decided to Hackintosh the new machine I purchased for my wife at Xmas. It's a popular machine in the UK, so if I can get most of the hardware working, I'm sure lots of folk will benefit.
This is the machine here , I've also added hardware info to my signature (please let me know if I need to add more details).
I followed the skylake starter guide and completed the 2. IOAPIC Fix and 3. SMBIOS fixes and to my astonishment, the installer booted (it failed without these fixes).
I was installing to a brand new USB 2TB hard drive.
I had no mouse, or keyboard but USB ones worked, so I carried on, trying to use ethernet crashed the machine, so I carried on without an Internet connection and incredibly, I have El Capitan up and running.
Can anyone now advise on how to get the keyboard (standard ps/2 according to msinfo32.exe), synaptic smbus touchpad and wireless (intel dualband wireless-ac 3165) working ?
I realise the wireless is probably impossible, if so what is the best usb one to purchase ?
Thank
