HWP is fully enabled as well.\n\n#### Battery\n\nThe power display is functioning normally.\n\n#### Wi-Fi\n\nThe OEM wireless model is `Realtek 8821CE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC`. Suggest replacing it with BCM94352Z (DM1560).\n\n\u003e BCM94350ZAE (DW1820A) might work with disabled pins. Not recommended.\n\n#### USB\n\nUSB Ports Patching with HackinTool, `5 Gbps` for USB 3.0 (Dev Speed).\n\n#### Ethernet\n\nFunctioning normally.\n\n#### Display\n\nThe model of Integrated Graphics is `Intel UHD Graphics 620`, faked to `Intel HD Graphics 620`. VRAM has been set to 3072 MB.\n\nThe Discrete Graphics' name is `Radeon (TM) RX 550 (2GB)`. Disabled because macOS doesn't support Optimus technology.\n\nThe HDMI is attached with `Intel UHD Graphics 620` and is functioning normally. `2K@60Hz` \u0026 `4K@30Hz` are supported.\n\n#### Audio\n\nDriven by AppleALC with `layout-id: 15`. Everything is working normally.\n\n#### Keyboard\n\nFunctioning normally except the \u003ckbd\u003eInsert\u003c/kbd\u003e key, which is not presented on Magic Keyboard. Keyboard backlight is working properly as well.\n\n#### SSD\n\nBoth NVMe \u0026 SATA are functioning normally and TRIM is enabled for both of them.\n\n#### Bluetooth\n\nFunctioning normally.\n\n#### Trackpad \u0026 Trackpoint\n\nFunctioning normally. Trackpoint and UltraNavs are working properly as well.\n\n## What is not working\n\n\u003ckbd\u003eFn\u003c/kbd\u003e shortcut might stop working after wake from sleep. It is a common bug happened among ThinkPad E470, E480 E490, E570, E580, E590, etc.\n\n## Recommended BIOS Config\n\n\u003e Make sure you have disabled Windows login password before entering the BIOS, because you might not be able to login with \"PIN\" on Windows after configuring your BIOS as following.\n\n- Security\n  - Intel SGX: Disabled\n- Boot\n  - Boot Mode: Both UEFI and Legacy\n  - Boot Priority: UEFI First\n  - Fast Boot: Disabled\n\n## Tips\n\n### Hibernation\n\nHibernation is supported.\n\n### Audio Issue\n\nIf you have faced some strange issue (like audio device is not found) after booting from Windows to macOS, you should reboot back to Windows and has a cold reboot (shutdown then start up) back to macOS. After that your audio device should be back.\n\n\u003e If you are using Parallel Desktop with Boot Camp mode on your hacintosh, you should not reboot directly in macOS for the same reason. You should manually shutdown Windows in Parallel Desktop, and then have your macOS cold rebooted (shutdown then start up).\n\n### Windows Time Fix\n\nRun following command with Administrator privileges in CMD:\n\n```\nReg add HKLM\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\TimeZoneInformation /v RealTimeIsUniversal /t REG_DWORD /d 1\n```\n\nThis will force Windows treat Hadware Time as UTC Time.\n\n## Maintainer\n\n**ThinkPad E480 Hackintosh** © [Sukka](https://github.com/SukkaW).
