Best macOS version and SMBIOS for Lenovo G40-80 (i3-5005U / Intel HD 5500)?

Hi everyone,

​I want to experiment with Hackintosh on my old laptop to see how it performs. I will be formatting the whole drive. Here are my exact hardware specs gathered from Ubuntu:

​Laptop Model: Lenovo G40-80

​CPU: Intel Core i3-5005U (Broadwell, 2 Cores / 4 Threads @ 2.00 GHz)

​RAM: 12GB DDR3L SDRAM

​Storage: SanDisk SSD PLUS 120 GB

​iGPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell-U GT2)

​Wi-Fi/Bluetooth: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160

​Ethernet: Realtek RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit

​Audio: Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller

​Optical Drive: Matshita DVDRW

​My questions:

​What is the maximum/best macOS version that supports full graphic acceleration natively for this Intel HD 5500?

I am aiming for macOS Monterey (12). Is it a good choice?

​According to the Dortania guide for Broadwell Laptops, which SMBIOS should I use? MacBookPro12,1 or something else?

​Since I have an Intel 3160 wireless card, can I use AirportItlwm.kext for native Wi-Fi integration during Monterey setup?

​Any tips regarding the AAPL,ig-platform-id for this specific HD 5500 Lenovo model would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
