I have newly bought a Legion Slim 7 laptop with 6600s. I have never installed hakintosh on laptop. Is there any tutorial on installing hackintosh on laptop of similar models? How should I set bios settings? And how should I set config.plist? Thank you.

Check the AMD Bios settings a the bottom of the Ryzen OC guide.

# AMD Bios Settings

You may not need them all and they may not all be present in your laptop's bios.

I would initially recommend you use the Load Optimised Defaults, then make the necessary changes in your bios, including setting the Graphics priority to Discrete GPU as recommended by @ExtremeXT

If you are not willing to open the laptop and physically replace the card, you may be able to disable the MediaTek WiFi in the bios and use something like the TP-Link T3U Plus USB dongle in macOS.

The Intel AC 9260 card is on the compatibility list for Itlwm.kext & AirportItlwm.kext, so it should work.

From what I can see from looking around, the Lenovo Slim 7 laptop has an M.2 connector for the WiFi/BT card. So the Intel card should work. However if you are going to open up the laptop and replace the MediaTek card, you would be better served replacing it with a macOS compatible/natively supported Broadcom WiFi/BT card.

Question now is whether this is an A, E, or A+E keyed M.2 connector.

Here is a link to the Broadcom M.2 WiFi/BT cards page from the Wireless Buyers Guide.


Using a Broadcom card should enable all the Apple WiFi/BT services, i.e. Handoff, Continuity, SideCar, AirDrop, AirPlay and Universal Control etc. subject to the other devices also meeting the system requirements for these features.

When using an Intel WiFi/BT card most of these Apple features don't work.
