Hi!!

This is not my first hackintosh, and just recently I upgraded a Lenovo M700 Tiny to Sierra, installed Sierra on a HP EliteDesk 800 G2, but I just can't get to the installer on this Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF.

All of them had an i5-6500 and Intel HD graphics.

Anyhow, this BIOS doesn't have all the options that I'm used to, and I couldn't find anyone who has done this model (and posted a guide). However, I did find a couple of users who claim to successfully installing OSX on this model, so I still have hope.
Could anyone lend me a hand checking out my BIOS settings and letting me know if I should change anything?
I've done many changes, but this is the most I've gotten to on my way to the installer:

000001.549478 [email protected]: AppleUSBLegacyRoot::init:: enabling legacy matching

https://goo.gl/photos/ffiGGysghzkkcrMw8 <---- This album has pictures of the result of using -v on the installer, as well as pictures of the BIOS settings.
Also, I'm attaching the EFI folder. It's a basic clover install, and I'm only using the FakeSMC and NullCPUPowerManagement kexts.

Thank you so much for your time and effort!!!

Sorry!
Since they're so many images, I thought it'd be more polite to host them externally.
Also, let me update my signature!

Thanks!!

Ok, assumed it had something to do with Intel graphics, so I checked the config.plist you kindly gave me and noticed that Intel Graphic were not being injected.

Changed that to true and now I finally got to the installer!!!!

Let's see how the post install process goes...

Ok, install went ok! Now I'm preparing for post install!

However, I'm noticing something very curious with the video card, as it is showing as Intel HD 7000 with 7Mb! ! !

I'm going to use this current EFI folder as it is, considering it lets me boot to the Hack without issues.
I'll start messing around with it, see what I can do!

Thanks again!
