Hey guys! How to install El Capitan or Sierra on this system? I created a bootable UEFI Installer stick with uni beast, but it's failed to booting the installer, just restarting (verbose mode says nothing). When finally got into verbose mode, got a Kernel panic I think. I attached a picture from the error. Tried some clover configs, but still getting error. First I tried Sierra installer then El Capitan but getting the same error.

Card Reader: Unsupported For WiFi: Use an USB Wifi dongle tp-link archer t1u for example (5GHz support) (OR)Change your M.2 Wifi card to a compatible one: BCM94352Z and install drivers Thank you Jake Lo for help! I attached the CLOVER folder ("aspire_v5_v591g-55tu.zip" this one is without DSDT patches) for everyone who need it. Just in case I attached my CLOVER folder with using DSDT too. ("aspire_v5_591g-55tu_wDSDT.zip" i'm using this right now) Display pane: If you see error: "Could not load Display preference pane" in System Preferences > Displays, you should use a kext created for this system to get it working. (attached as "correct_prefpane_v5-591g.zip") Install it with kext utility, restart, and then should be good now. I suggest updating to 10.12.6, maybe this update also fix this issue. I'm using Sierra in Dual-boot with Windows 8.1. To do this in a clean install or with Windows installed first try my little minimal guide: Dual-boot clean install (on one drive): 1. Boot into your Mac installer, Create 2 partitions in GUID table (1 for Win (I used FAT32 but I think it's no matter what), 1 for Mac), 2. Install Mac, boot with your USB, *mount your EFI partition (use terminal or an EFI mounter app), create EFI folder if it's empty, copy the CLOVER folder I attached to the EFI folder, restart, 3. Boot into your Win installer, Format the partition you created for Win, install. 4. Now, it's automatically booting into Windows. To use Clover open cmd in administrator, type: 5. You're done! It will booting into Clover when you start the system, and you can select Win or Mac (or another OS if installed on a 3rd partition). Dual-boot with Windows installed first (on one drive): If you already have Windows and you don't want to lose all your data there is a hope: You need bootable Mac Installer and a full system restore image (you can search for it). (You may see errors if your EFI partition is not 200 MB) 1. Boot into your Windows, resize your partition or create one for Mac. 2. Boot into your Mac installer and in Disk Utility format the partition you created. 3. Restore from image: select your full system restore image. 4. When it's finished restoring you just need to restart, then boot to the system with your usb. 5. Do Step 2. from "*" from clean install dual-boot above. but KEEP "Microsoft" FOLDER IN IT! 6. Do Step 4. from clean install dual-boot above. 7. You're done! You can select your old Windows and your new macOS! (I only tried with Windows 8/8.1/10. I don't know Windows 7/Vista/XP!)
