Install High Sierra on the HP 8300 Elite Video Guide
It's been over two years since the original video guide was published. Many things have changed in the way we install and configure macOS on these HP desktops. Unibeast has also been updated to 8.4.0 for High Sierra. It now uses a more recent version of Clover and the Virtualsmc kext instead of Fakesmc. We also use the AppleALC and Lilu kexts for audio support, to enable ALC221. This is many times easier to implement and audio now works immediately after installation.
This video shows a new method of customizing your USB installer so that everything works after the initial install. If you'd like to upgrade directly to Catalina after High Sierra is installed you can do that. An update through the MAS will work. If you want Catalina straight away you can install that with Unibeast for Catalina instead of using High Sierra, 8.4.0 edition. If you have an Nvidia Pascal card, it's important to watch the Full 7 Minutes of the Video.
Remember that this is for a Clean install only

I've got a Rosewill RNX-AC1300PCE wifi card installed and it only works with the AirportBrcmFixup kext The Rosewill or TP-Link AC1900 is slightly different and doesn't appear to need that kext to work. Only issue that I've run into with both of these is that Unlock with Apple Watch never...
