Hi everyone I recently had been trying to install macOS High Sierra (latest supported version by Nvidia) but learned the hard way that you have to have the 10.13.6 version to get the Nvidia web driver working (you have to search for your high Sierra build (found under system prefs) and find your driver.pkg installer over at tonymacx86 then enable it in clover config afterwards to keep it persistent on reboots)
The thing is all those install methods were for rebuilding the EFI after patching clover after that got me frustrated cause I just didn't know shit. When I met the apfs bug in tonymacx86 installation method using unibeast to update to new OS X using their guides they never worked on high Sierra until I discovered you could install macOS using the AIO Clover and macOS HFS USB Method for Windows.
It's almost stupid how much trouble I went through to get high Sierra to work with Nvidia graphics and now I'm looking at installing Catalina just to see what's actually new... anyways, yeah, the AIO method works on windows and is so much easier than whatever the internet is saying to do and forcing people to install a build of OS X just to upgrade should not feel like a pain in the ass anymore. Have at it and enjoy.
Notes: The build I used is a Z370-I Strix Gaming board by Asus and at disk partition remember to check show drives so you can format it to GUID properly otherwise it won't work (high Sierra is stupid like that) I didn't install wifi kexts and got around it using pdanet for android and the Samsung smart switch driver pkg but any compatible wifi usb for Mac should work too. Also another note, the internet says you need to update the bios to use the new CPU's but mine worked fine with a 9400F out of the box so don't worry about it not supporting it and waste 50 bucks on a Celeron like I did)
