Z170N Gaming 5 i7 6700K Big Sur

Alright, After 3 years of stopping Hackintosh i decided to give it ago once again, i deleted the boot Disk some time ago so i had to use windows way.

With my past knowledge with Clover and trying a new bootloader, i had to start from 0, however it helped me the past known info, some things are impoved a lot, i liked the way python is used and, even that first time i have used it felt easier than expected, when configuring .plist seemed a steep learning curve but after some help with redditors in a night i was able to make a sucess boot. At the time when i leave H/tosh i had some issues, with audio which now is fully working, at the time i was using a Gigabyte 980ti, unfortunately i had to settle with iGPU and use The GPU in windows only, might get a partition only to get an older Os to be able to use it, but for now is not necessary, for now just toying with the new features and stability, so far better boot times, and awesome shutdown times, at the time when shutting down just have sometimes to keep pressed Power off button, everything is more polished, iservices are good, never tried facetime but apps store is fine, and may be trying in future apple watch unlock. Now that i got this one working, the next step is a HP Mini 260 G3, that for now it is working, just some issues to fix, like Alc audio and pink screen tint, but with QE/CI Working, once i get a sucess for that i will post, it and the next target will be my Dell Inspiron 3543 that had a fully working H/Tosh, at the time had to fix via bios framebuffer, but now we can fix it wit some stolenmem parameters in plist, with more time looking forward to install for more devices i have, so for now i will put the details of my first comeback sucess.
