Now with Big Sur and OpenCore!
The repo is archived because I barely use my hack these days (though I might unarchive it one day and add updates if I get back to it).
Based on Dortania's Guide and my previous Clover hack.
I advise against using my EFI directly, treat it as a reference for creating Your own. Read The Guide, manuals for every kext etc.

GTX 1060 version of this laptop has HDMI port wired directly to the Nvidia card, which means there is no way to use it on Mojave+. Instead, You can use e.g. an USB-C (DisplayPort)>HDMI dongle, USB-C docking station, TB3 accessories (not tested).
GTX1050(Ti) versions reportedly have HDMI port connected to iGPU however, so yes You can use it! I don't have means to test it so I won't include config for this in my repo – head over to @lersy instead.

Prebuilt from Dortania's guide:
Custom:
Generate Your own SMBIOS.
Sleep
sudo pmset autopoweroff 0
sudo pmset powernap 0
sudo pmset standby 0
sudo pmset proximitywake 0execute these commands for safety (see Dortania https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/sleep.html#preparations)
ComboJack
https://github.com/hackintosh-stuff/ComboJack to enable both headphones and their microphone.
I do not recommend using OpenCore to boot Windows. Injection should probably be disabled for other OSes, but it still may break something. Better to use rEFInd of just BIOS F12.
