[WIP] Is there anything else I should do before proceeding with the install?

Hi all,

I've done a trial boot just to see if it got to the installer, it did. It's in Russian (my dumbass didn't RTFM all the way), I fixed it but didn't Reset NVRAM yet (kinda scared, is it only ThinkPads that get bricked with the reset?). My trackpad is not working in the installer, and I also forgot to copy everything in the patches.plist from SSDTTime to my config.plist, but I am aware that I have to do that.

I think I've done most of the stuff that can be done before installing, but I'm not sure. An experienced user on another forum told me my EFI was fine but very "basic" (whatever that means). So I'm not sure if there's anything that I accidentally skipped over or straight up forgot. I also would like to know if I can fix my trackpad before installing or only after :)

This is one of two systems I'll be hackintoshing, I started with my laptop because it seems like it's going to be easier than my desktop.

Specs:

 CPU: Intel Core i5 8150U (Kaby Lake R) GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 RAM: 8 GB Laptop: Lenovo Ideapad 330 Audio Codec: ALC230 Ethernet Card: RTL8168/8111 Wi-Fi/BT Card: Intel Dual Band Wireless AC3165 Touchpad: Synaptics I2C (I think, check my previous post.)

Posting the config.plist is not allowed, but if necessary I can provide it!

Thanks a lot for reading.
