Inspiron 7560 which is running on i7 7th Gen 7500U Dual Core Kaby Lake processor
and Intel 620 Graphics. So, If you want to install MacOS on your Laptop, please

FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS � DELL 7560 HACKINTOSH RUNNING SIERRA 10.12.6
I am new to Hackintosh. So It took a lot of time and trials to make it work and
sometimes it becomes really frustrating and you think of leaving it there. But
finally, I did it.

Dell 7560 Hackintosh Foxes and Improvemnets

INTEL HD 620 GRAPHICS FIXED

The IntelHD 620 Graphics was not detected earlier and it used to show 7MB as
graphics memory. But now, instead of 7MB, it shows 1.5GB IntelHD 620 Graphics,
which is the most important improvement. It doesn�t say Intel 620, instead says,
Intel unknown, but that doesn�t matter. What matter is the Graphics memory which is
1.5GB. Now I am able to run FCP X, for which I started this project, After Effects,
Xcode and all other MacOS apps without any issue.

AUDIO FIXED VIA VOODOOHDA

Now the next issue was the Audio. There was no sound. Well, there is an improvement
and now you can see Audio is working pretty well. You can control volume or mute it
using the Fn keys like in Windows OS. The only thing that doesn�t work Is the
Headphone jack. There is no Sound when you connect your headphone and it requires a
DSDT patch to make it work and I am working pretty hard on it.
The microphone is also working now and you can talk to SIRI and it understand well.
This Dell 7560 has a dual mic and both are detected and used by the system.

BATTERY AND POWER MANAGEMENT ISSUE FIXED

Next, was the Battery and Power management. Which was a big issue? The battery was
not detected and power management was not working. This bug is also removed and you
can see the battery icon on the status bar. It displays how much time is remaining
to charge the battery with Percentage and you can choose when to put a computer or
display to sleep while on battery or charger. You can see that The system is
showing all the information about the battery and AC Power adapter.

BRIGHTNESS CONTROL FIXED

Next, is the Brightness, it wasn�t working, and Fn keys only work for volume
control. So I had to use a 3rd party app to control brightness. It�s called
Brightness Slider and this app works pretty well. Now I am able to adjust display
brightness directly from the status bar.

WI-FI (WLAN) FIXED

Now the next issue with this Hackintosh was the Wi-Fi. Yes, one of the most
important and major issue with Hackintosh. The Intel WiFi card on this laptop is
not compatible with MacOS and either I had to replace it with a Broadcom chip or
buy an external wifi dongle. I went with the former and bought a 300MBPS USB Wifi
Stick from TP Link. The model no is 823N and it works perfectly fine. All you need
to do is install drivers from TP Link site and restart the system. Next, you will
see a new icon on the status bar and you will be able to connect your System with
the Wireless network with Ease. This Dongle is available for less than 700 Rupees
or 10 USD.

You can also replace the Intel WiFi Card with the Broadcom WiFI chip. I have
already ordered the Broadcom chip94352 from China, and it will take up to a month
to reach. So for now, I am using this dongle which arrived within a day from
Amazon. All the links are given in the description. The performance is good and it
never disconnects, until you manually do that or unless your Router shut down.
All USB ports are working, but the SD Card slot requires fix and I am working on
it.

NOTE: Please buy an M.2 Wi-Fi Card. Not a PCIe. Here�s the link to the Wi-Fi
Module: Buy BRD94352 for Dell 7560 (M.2)

TRACKPAD/TOUCHPAD ISSUE FIXED

There are some other minor issues like Trackpad is working and you can turn on and
off all gestures which system was not able to detect earlier. But Only Scroll
gesture works. Other than that, no other gesture works, like switching apps or zoom
in, smart zoom, swipe notification etc. And I am also working on it and I hope to
see improvements in future. But you can use scroll gesture and all other settings
work perfectly fine, like Tracking speed, Tap to click etc.

CONCLUSION
What�s good about this Hackintosh Build is that this macOS Sierra 10.12.6 is
running via USB 3.0 Port of my laptop. This saved my Windows OS and boot partition
and I have not made a single change to my existing Windows. I am using a 128GB
Samsung SSD and now that most thing works, I am thinking of upgrading this laptop
with at least 500GB SSD by replacing the 1TB HDD. But I will be doing that only
when I get Headphone jack working. So for now, if you have the same 7560 laptops.
Go ahead, install MacOS, follow the video tutorial I uploaded, the link is in the
description. Then upgrade it to the Latest 10.12.6 from App Store. Once you did
that comment down below and I will upload a complete guide on all the Fixes I made.
