Will it work on HP elitebool 840 G7 i7

XXCoreRangerX commented 2 years ago

Hi, unfortunately the EFI is not going to work on an HP EliteBook 840 G7, because it has a much newer gen CPU. There's probably many other differences between G4 and G7 too. I suggest you check out other EFIs or try making your own EFI.

I have working hackintosh in 840 G7 but unfortunately my touchpad is still not working..

Please follow Dortania's OC Guide. Your laptop has a 10th gen CPU, while the G4 has a 7th gen CPU. There may be significant differences in the patches, SSDTs and kexts you need to use.

As for the touchpad, you should first check what connection type does it use. You can do that on Windows using this method or in a Linux command line:

dmesg | grep -i input

Based on that, again, follow the guide and use the required kexts.

I have also tried out one EFI made for same model.. from https://github.com/yusfklncc/HP-EliteBook-840-G7-Hackintosh/release

But it gets stuck at: [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START]
