Hello.
I finally got around to fix an old PC which I hadn't used since 2012. It currently has windows 7 and it works again. Im looking now into the possibility to install high sierra on it but not sure if the hardware is too old to have any chance at all. Here are the specs:

Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4Ghz Sandy Bridge
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68M-D2H
16Gb DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
I just updated the bios of the mother board from version F4 to version F6. Above that there is an update to UEFI but it says BETA, not sure if this is necessary or should I just stay on version F6. Here are the possible BIOS updates for this motherboard:

I tried using the vanilla installation which worked for me on a 2017 build perfectly. But for this one it doesn't seem to want to start from the thumb drive with clover boot loader at all, it just stays on a black screen that says "Loading Operating System...".
The BIOS settings I changed:
Halt on: No Errors
PCH SATA control Mode from IDE to AHCI
HPet mode from 32 bit to 64 bit
Virtualization Technology: From Enabled to Disabled
Hard disk boot priority I set to: 1. JetFlash USB 2.SSD 3.HDD
Anyone have any luck with a similar build? any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
