Originally had an ACPI error which I figured out was due to my RTC being messed up. Fixed by simply patching and adding SSDT-RTCAWAC.aml.

2017+ HP models usually need this patch, if you are stuck on

ACPI ERROR AE_NOT_FOUND 2016090930/psparse-632 

Also installed Monterey and Ventura before, but decided to downgrade as my external wifi dongle isn't supported in Big Sur above.

Almost everything is working, except wifi and bluetooth due to my internal wifi not being supported. I use an external dongle to make the os useable though.

Specs:
-> i3-7100U (Mobile Kaby Lake)
-> HD 620
-> 12 GB DDR4 2133 MHz

-> External Wifi (TP Link TL-WN725N) (not supported on macOS 11+)
-> Internal Wifi (RTL-8273DE) (not supported)
