Read compatibility overview: http://www.tonymacx86.com/laptop-compatibility/106791-laptop-compatibility.html If you have UEFI capability, use the Clover Guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...de-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-clover.html You can use Clover without UEFI, and you may want to try that. There are still many advantages to using Clover, even with a computer that lacks UEFI. In fact, Clover is the only option with 10.11+. Unibeast/Chimera (or Chameleon), read here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...-booting-os-x-installer-laptops-unibeast.html Also, you will find many of the stickies here useful: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-laptop-support/ It is a good idea to collect complete hardware information before you even start. Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures. Make sure your profile/signature reflects your hardware details. Please provide complete details in your profile. If your profile is already used, use the signature. DO NOT use the signature if your profile is currently unused. That is, use the signature only if you have multiple systems. To edit your profile: https://www.tonymacx86.com/account/personal-details The profile has 3 fields which are visible with each post you make. The three fields should be filled out as follows: Mobo: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera) CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution For example, typical Ivy laptop: Mobo: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover) CPU: i5-3320m/HM76 Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768 As mentioned above, if you have multiple systems, use the signature to place details for the second system. It is best to have your profile represent the primary system you are working with. To edit your signature: https://www.tonymacx86.com/account/signature Please keep your signature details for each system within a single line. For example, same system as was mentioned for the profile, but represented in the signature: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover), i5-3320m/HM76, HD4000 1366x768 Note: When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI"
