Dell XPS 15 L502X (Core i7 2nd Gen/8 GB RAM)

Oh, hello

I have this old notebook, It has an SSD and tried to install a Hackintosh (Mavericks) for the first time which I had successful in one shot (strange) but I want a more current macOS and browsing in the internet I found some comments that this notebook is compatible with High Sierra and even Mojave (Catalina too, from what a random guy said) and it's running fine, but I tried a couple of times with those: El Captain, High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina and no luck so far, but I am willing to try futher.

I would like to know what would be the best and most current macOS for this notebook? Like performance, security and et cetera.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply!

I have High Sierra 10.16.3, I followed this guide but I got stuck in the installation.
''About 11 minutes remaining''
and nothing, this screen stays there for a couple of minutes and after that: 

''macOS could not be installed on your computer.
An error occured installing macOS. To use Apple Diagnostics [...]''

From what I understand from the Guide, you need a MacOS to do this procedure, right? Unfortunately, I cleaned my SSD in order to install High Sierra with everything clean, so I no longer have an MacOS Mavericks installed, there is another way to solve it?

use Vanilla Olarila Images

I downloaded the new image of Olaria High Sierra 2020 and tried to install and I got this problem:

I tried to disable Nvidia and Intel Graphics from the Clover Boot and nothing, no inject ktext worked so far.

And I tried the older one again, Olarila High Sierra 10.13.6, well, I got this problem:

After a couple minutes:

Well, I will continue to post my progress here in case anyone has the same problem as me.
I have download a lots of raw images from Olarila and other places(only Vanilla) since my last post, every image version of every OS I tested (Mavericks, El Captain, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina) has a different error, I tried everything I found in the internet to solve and nothing.
The only one I was able to install was one version of Mavericks from here, which, I don't remember how, the other versions of Mavericks don't install for different errors.
Well, I will continue to search for one.

It's says 11 minutes to install, sometimes I wait 30 minutes or less until says the MacOs cannot be installed, but the progress bar don't go more than that.

I see, thanks for you time tho, but, there one more thing I would like to know, there is any image you recommend from Olarila for me to try? Specifically, you recommend HS, tho, there is a couple of images there and looks like every link has a different build, so, what you would recommend for this laptop? Thanks.

I have the HS 2020 that I downloaded from here: 

I believe it was from that torrent link, don't quite remember.

Everything works fine until I enter in the install screen, the touchpad works, but the click of it not, neither the keyboard (Although works in the clover boot menu), I tried to see what ktext has been injected and the injectallUSB and Voodoo trackpad and etc ktexts are injected.

Some knowledge on what would be?

It boots, tho, when this screen comes up, only the touchpad works, the buttons on it and the keyboard don't, so I can't click on ''Continue''.

Ok, I was able to install High Sierra 10.13.6 and make the OS work, if anyone get those problems I mentioned, I would recommend get a new pendrive with 16 GB and try this HS image: 

I am facing new problems, but I think they are easier to fix.

Thanks for the help!
