I seem to be having a problem upgrading to Sierra from El Capitan. I followed the guide by just downloading Sierra from the app store and then adding FakeSMC to my "/other" folder. When I select the Install macOS option from the boot loader I get a progress bar that fills but takes a long time and then suddenly just shuts down.

The guide mentions selecting Without Cache but I never see that option. Is there anything I could be missing when attempting this update?
 
Is there an alternate way of upgrading to Sierra by way of USB? I would really appreciate any help as I really want to get my 1070 finally working with OSX.

Unless there is a way to get it working with El Capitan, I really only care about upgrading because of this.
 
Would really appreciate a response. I have attached photos while in verbose mode to hopefully give people an idea of what issue I am possibly having.

Edit: not sure why the images uploaded upside down...

Did you update Clover ?

Yes I followed the guide and updated everything. I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can't get to the install screen.

For an upgrade you should ensure that FakeSMC.kext is in your /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder.
I see from your first post that you did that.

Attach your config.plist

It's plugged in if that is what you are asking, but i am running into the HD530 and the graphics are set to IGFX in my BIOS.

It might be worth removing it until your upgrade to Sierra is complete.
