Hello

I would like to install Sierra OS on my Lenovo X1 Carbon 1st Gen (Type 3444).
I know that current WiFi PCI-Ex NGFF card Intel Centrino Advenced-N 6205 (Model 62205ANSFF) will not be working.

Replacing this card is difficult because BIOS mod whitelist removal will require
"USB SPI Programmer"

and "SOIC8 SOP8 cable"

to dump original personal BIOS form chip and the mode for whitelist....

Hi there,
I have an Alienware R3, 15" laptop that I acquired as something of a pre-owned bargain. The spec is:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5
15inch 1080p Full HD 60hz IPS Display
16G RAM

I am a total noobie at Hackintosh, and I seriously do not wish to burden the community with multiple requests for assistance by embarking upon something that I can't finish.

I found this "how to" video on YouTube (BTW many thanks to the...

On macOS High Sierra 10.13.4

1. VoodooPS2Controller - Trackpad shows up Sys->Prefs->Trackpad. (Fixed)
(I think installing VoodooPS2Controller.kext to Library/Extensions (instead of Clover Injection helped)
(Working once other ACPI fixes were implemented: Backlight Slider, Battery Percentage, etc)

2. "About This Mac" won't load. (still doesn't work)...

Install Mac Osx El Capitan on Galaxy Book 12.

Why did I choose ElCapitan and not HighSierra?
Simple.
From El Capitan release 10.11 + (so mac os Sierra and High Sierra) Apple has eliminated from HID event driver, pressure, tilt, Stylus position!
Having this device for artistic purposes, I decided that El Capitan would be the best in this field.
If you do not need a pen to draw, but just for taking notes or simple things, you can safely install Os High Sierra!...

It is best to have Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, or Broadwell, Skylake or Kaby Lake.

Many people post here asking "Will my laptop work." I will try to address some of the general issues with laptops in this post.

First off, I should mention that getting a laptop close to 100% functionality is always difficult (unless it is a laptop already with a well written guide) and may not be possible or to the level you want. That's just because of the nature of laptops: you don't get...
