HP Probook 6460b

[Markhor]

Hey Everyone, I am trying to install MacOS on my laptop HP Probook 6460b preferably Catalina

Specs: I5 2nd Gen, Intel HD Graphics 3000 (Sandy Bridge) 10GB Ram, Current OS Arch Linux.

First I was trying to get Mac on this laptop via Opencore I have all of the ACPIs, Kexts and created config.plist but when I tried to boot the usb it didn't work this laptop does support UEFI (development only) but UEFI does work I watched many videos but they were all following the same guide I followed and it was working for them so idk what did I do wrong then I found Olarila downloaded the Olarila Catalina 10.15.6.raw file and made a bootable usb using Etcher now it does boot but the mouse only moves vertically and the touchpad also does not work. So I didn't proceed with installation. Now what I want to know is that I don't think the vanilla Catalina will work on this device so how can I use my own ACPIs, Kexts and config.plist?  I am attaching the images of the ACPIs and Kexts and my config.plist also why aren't your ACPIs complied like the files I downloaded from Opencore the were .aml but yours were .dsl

okay i'll download and try to boot 10.13 but how can I use my own kexts and acpi or the native vanilla 10.13 will work on it. like I want it to be fast so I don't want any additional stuff in there only what my hardware needs this what they say in the OpenCore Guide for Sandy Bridge Laptops

yeah I installed it High Sierra but a few issues no sound, wi-fi, touchpad brightness not working and battery icon also not showing up which indicates it think it's a desktop. but in the model identifier it shows   Model Identifier:    MacBookPro8,1. also how do I change the keyboard because the super(windows) key does not seem to be working the keyboard assistant shows only to option to identify the keyboard.

Which guide I should follow now? Plus I can't boot into it without the bootable usb. ?? Like I have chose the boot drive from my drive in other to boot in to it

Okay that will do the boot issue but what about wifi sound and battery?
