My Dell Inspirion 3650 Dual Boot with High Sierra and Windows 10. I finished this a couple of months ago but never got around to posting my success until now.

My System:

• Cpu: Intel Core i5 6th Gen
• GTX 1060 6GB
• 16 GB DDR3L Ram
• 1TB HDD from Dell (High Sierra)
• 500GB Samsung Evo 860 (Windows 10)

I can't say too much about the motherboard so I left the specifications pdf from Dell below. Everything is as it came from Dell besides an extra SSD, 8GB of RAM, and the GTX 1060.

What Works:

• Ethernet
• Monitor Audio
• GPU
• Basically everything you would expect

What Doesn't Work:

• WIFI/Bluetooth (I don't plan on trying to fix)
• Audio jacks for my speakers

Plans

I would possibly like to get the audio for my speakers working although when I made the hack it was impossible to find the correct kexts for my motherboard. I have also been thinking about possibly upgrading to Catalina I am a little hesitant due to the fact that my GPU will no longer work and I would be stuck with the Intel 530 iGPU and I am scared the performance won't be great (if you use 530 iGPU on Catalina let me know how it is). Overall it is great for productivity for school and allows me to separate the things I do for school on my hack and the things I do for fun on Windows.
