Upon double checking, using Samsungs Drive Wizard app initially read the drive as PM871b. But once I opened it up to physically examine the drive I see it’s actually an HP ssd

you are correct sir. i have 2 alternative western digital ssd nvme as well.. a 256gb and a 512gb both are WD PC SN530. ty in advance

I've made a hackintosh before a few years ago and the process went pretty well which was on my Lenovo Yoga. Not so much this time around. I got the EFI from github for this laptop installing Ventura. I'm able to boot the apple logo upon which it freezes @ 40% of the progress bar, never actually booting into the installer. I tinkered with different bootloaders Clover/OC and different versions of OSX. I also tried making the installer usb on OSX vs Windows intermittently swapping a few SSD drives--NADA! I loathe asking for help but at this point I clueless and need brilliant minds like members of this forum to collaborate with this time. I've attached my system HW specs. Thank you in advance as I know someone on here will have a solution to my issue.
