Usually, you load the patch file as it's often written/formatted to be interpreted, rather than copy paste the code.

You have to manually create your USB installer; then use Enoch or Clover as bootloader. Clover is also a powerful tool to fine tune your installation but it requires much more knowledge and skills to grasp & master.

It's entirely up to you to decide whether you want to update BIOS or not. Decide according to the announced enhancements or new features. GT640 should work OOB if I remember well, though you may need the nVidia Web driver. You can scrounge the Net on the matter.

Yes, it goes without saying, re-use the DSDT of a model of identical specs (the nVidia model in your case). Afaik, E6510 only differs from E6410 by screen size. For your HDD, make sure you've set SATA operation mode to AHCI in the BIOS settings.

Of course you can use Enoch. You'll find copies of DSDT in most E6410/E6510-related threads on the forum; just use the search facility. You may update BIOS but check if it's worth it on Dell's web site (on older systems, latest BIOS often only brought enhanced password encryption)

Instant reboot may be due for missing KernelPm CPU option in Clover config; it's required to handle kernel-based CPU Power Management for Haswell CPUs (AsusAICPUPM is for Sandy/Ivy Bridge platforms). You may want to add the following hardware details to your specs: LAN card model Audio codec SD card reader model Bluetooth model etc.

Weird, it's the same KP as that experienced with VoodooPS2Controller v1.8.9. I don't believe your KP bears a direct link with the model of SSD. It's something else. Since last loaded kexts is CoreStorage, can you check CS status of your drives (when both are in) with Terminal command: diskutil list Then, if there is a fusion/logical drive created, you may want to revert it to legacy mode diskutil cs revert /dev/<disk name>

What does the KP show?

What are those hardware specs? There's a good chance the LAN card will be the same as that fitted to the E6x20 so try the AppleIntel1000e kext (it's available in all E6x20/E-x30/E6x40 packs). For your Broadcom wireless card, check our non-exhaustive inventory here.

DW1530 is BCM43228, not just BCM4322 (e.g. DW1510, which works OOB). That chip is not supported; all details here. NB: a 802.11n 2.4GHz/5GHz card losing connections is typical of a need to split the 2 x networks and use dedicated SSIDs instead of a common one, i.e. one dedicated SSID for the 2.4GHz network and another dedicated SSID for the 5GHz network. This has solved issues for many people, though usually symptoms were experienced in OS X not Win. For Win10, there appears to be ample topics on the matter on the web... NB2: no need for double and triple post on a given matter. Thanks.

Patching the DSDT in such a way is not sufficient; it needs to be accompanied by a USB injector kext where you define all your USB ports (according to the DSDT definitions or -better- IOReg) for your selected SMBIOS profile. You'll find an example in the pack of the D630 guide I linked above. It's explained in full details on Rehabman's repo.

Sheikh Wahab, with a bit of attention and forum search... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-inventory-of-supported-and-unsupported-wireless-cards/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8739-patching-airportbrcm4360-kext-for-unsupported-mac-models/

El Capitan appears to need a near-real 8Go (formatted), so most people will require a 16Go key. Did you partition your key GTP and format it OS X (journaled)?

Since Yosemite, one has to create the USB installer manually. Literally dozens of posts detailing the procedure everywhere. Look it up in the various Yosemite/El Capitan guides we have on this forum. Here for instance or the other threads of that same section. An "Extra" folder will indeed be mostly for reference although it is still used by Enoch Chameleon branch for DSDT, SSDT, boot plist , SMBIOS plist and kext injections. Useless for Clover. When you saw references to an EFI partition, it was probably for Clover, that's where the Clover files go, unlike Enoch. For FakeSMC, I recommend you use a recent version from Rehabman or Kozlek. For PS2 controller, use those kexts we've listed in the 10.11.4 update thread of the Mac OS X forum subsection. I highly recommend the VoodooPS2Controller rather than the ApplePS2Controller on our Dell Latitude laptops since they have Alps trackpads. You can't directly upgrade per se from Mavericks to Yos or El Capitan on a myHack installation; you have to re-install over it and replace your boot loader. It's easy enough to do. My reference to Mavericks was purely for the OP to reach success in installing OS X since he was not with Yos or EC through the manual way...

Try this patched DSDT for built-in audio. BOD3 (HDAU) of SSDT-7 not patched yet for HDMI audio... HDEF-patched_DSDT.aml.zip

For SMBIOS, target Haswell-based Mac models such as MBA6,2 or MBP11,1/11,2 or even MBP11,3/11,4/11,5.

Ok, well, be aware that your DW1705 wireless card is unsupported and will have to be replaced (or completed) by a supported device (1/2 mini-PCIe card or USB dongle). Look up this non-exhaustive list for guidance. Audio codec seems to be ALC3234. We can confirm that through the PCI id you would find in the device/driver information.

You can start by looking Dell's published specs/datasheet but you can also check the info provided in Windows device manager for instance. Or look up for the various Windows tools that exist today.

On paper, no issue with this Haswell/HD4400-based platform. For you wireless, please double check because that reference seems incorrect. You also need to identify other hardware elements such as audio (codec), LAN card, SD card reader, Bluetooth, etc.

Old & known problem, well documented on the Web. Afaik, Safari still no longer supports Netflix playback despite various ambiguous messages. Switch to another browser like Chrome.

Arf, who's gonna go through those 77pages? If you want to list kext loaded or not loaded, copy paste the sorted list from SysProfiler->Extensions, but not the above! Anyway, let's get this seen in its own dedicated thread. All those systems I tested and verified run Enoch by the way, not Clover...

Sounds like you need to activate KernelPm option to free-up the kernel-based CPU powzer management.

Added TP-Link TL-WN723N v3 802.11b/g/n 150Mbps mini USB adapter and TP-Link TL-WN725N v2 802.11b/g/n 150Mbps nano USB adapter.

I can't explain the behaviour on your E7440 but Dr Hurt's VoodooPS2Controller certainly works on Titou2k4's E7440 so that's another model on which it appears kosher to me. Make sure you don't have duplicate controllers lying around in your EFI partition, /S/L/E, /L/E.
