Akv Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hey guys, I wanted to know what you guys recommend if I should install high sierra or mojave? Which is easier to install? Which one is more stable? I do have experience installing Mac osx on a desktop. Compatability wise what wifi / Bluetooth card is the best and is easiest to install as well.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2019 They both are easy to install. I have a guide from El Capitan to Mojave here. Just scroll to the bottom. Bootpack included. Recommended Wifi/Bluetooth are DW1560 or DW1830. Although DW1830 requires 3 antennas, it'll still work with 2. You might loose some connection speed, I never tested it for speed.

Akv Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 That is only for the clover part of it. How do i actually make the bootable install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2019 If you click on the link within the guide, it'll take you to the a generic clover guide https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-vostro-xps-clover-guide/?do=findComment&comment=87342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akv Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I am on step 1 which is make the bootable usb drive. How do I install clover on there and than go to the efi. This is way different than my hackintosh desktop install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2019 Step 2 shows you how to install Clover with specific settings. The EFI partition will automatically mounted after you install Clover. You can then put the bootpack into /EFI/Clover replacing the default files and folders created by Clover. You'll need to add HFSPlus.efi to /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI. Can be found by googling or from my generic EFI folder here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akv Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I installed clover on to my usb drive. I also got into the efi and downloaded the boot pack you had me download. I copy and pasted the files from the kext/ other files only to the efi that is on the jump drive. I copied to clover/kext/others. I also copied the acpi file that I downloaded and pasted it to clover and replaced the old acpi. Now, the copytole files, it says to paste them to the library/extension. However, I don't have that on the jump drive. So do i do that after I install mac osx on my dell? Here are some screenshots to help! I also copied the config file from the downloaded zip file and copied it to the clover folder on my bootable jump drive.

Akv Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I just added the HFSPlus to the jump drive CLOVER/drivers64UEFI folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 9, 2019 That's correct. If you go through the guide step by step, it'll lead to you the Post Installation with the instruction to install the kext from CopyToLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akv Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 So is everything good to go to install mojave from my jump drive. From the screenshots I showed you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
