Step 2: To solve this problem, click on the Add button (the second button you see on the right)

 

Step 3: Now Change Type fromWindows BootManager to Linux or Other OS , Type Name in Description Box (Whatever you want Clover Bootloader or Mac OSX Bootloader or Else depends upon you), and Click Browse Button.

Step 4: Now Expand EFI => BOOT or CLOVER Folder , Select any of Bootx64.efi or Cloverx64.efi , Both are Clover Bootloader files Choose one or add Entry for Both but one is Enough to Boot Clover then why you waste your time but if you having Issue with and Then Use Another Option.

Wow! Wow! What is this?! Good job!

Very Nice Guide, Sampath!

and very nice hardware, is a beast mobile!

In my experience when dual booting and using the manual GPT method mentioned above, I will install windows first then macOS. The windows files will automatically be inside the EFI folder and need not do anything to it other than just install clover.

Bro it's not for all still few laps have problem that why I suggested this method 🤗

Hello!

I was wondering if any part of this hack could possibly help me.

I've got a very similar laptop, it's an Acer Nitro 5 515-51, 7th ( SSD Dual Boot Windows )

I've managed to install macOS, but I'm having issues triggering keyboard, sound and power management.

My question is, would simply copying kexts here under my EFI kexts folder and restart computer be enough to configure the hack or is there any step I'm missing?

Thanks in advance and follows up attached my computer report.

mr.vini-guerrero i surly help u its 95% same hardware

[vini-guerrero]

I tried both versions...

The unpatched one booted correctly, however, still no sound, keyboard or mouse working (touchpad).

The patched version gave me this error and didn't boot at all...

I tried changing the SMBIOS to processor closest to i5-7300HQ (MacbookPro 14,3) but it also didn't boot...

Guys, any ideas on how to fix this for my version of Nitro 5...

[vini-guerrero]

I was able to fix those, but I need help applying patches for DSDT, keyboard, touchpad and audio not working...

When I export files in clover, I get this error when compiling:

syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_NAMESEG, expecting PARSEOP_DEFINITION_BLOCK and premature End-Of-File >

I tried to start Windows from Clover after I did additional UEFI entry, but there was a BSoD and Windows no loneger boots up even from Boot Manager (F12). Just a black screen

do correctly it's work surely then before do this u need update bios

[Andreigr]

Tried one more time your patched Clover: everything works except keyboard and touchpad (and, of course, stock wi-fi). Could you help me to fix that? (I'm completely noob). But without your DSDT no audio at all, no brightness control and touchpad behaves strangely (with ApplePS2SmartTouchPad): three fingers tap - right click, two fingers tap - middle mouse button, four fingers pinch in - minimize windows, but four fingers up/down/left/right do nothing. With VoodooPS2Controller only two fingers scroll works and three fingers tap, no any three or four fingers gestures

I just want as same control as here

">

. As for me it's the most important part of the OS
