Supports 7040?

[zearp]

Won't work. The 7040 series uses 6th gen Intel Skylake. Shouldn't be impossible or too hard though.

Start here: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/skylake.html

Okay thank you, but would all the kexts and stuff be the same. I am mostly concerned with bios settings

The base kexts are about the same for any build, the config and ACPI patches will be different. As for the BIOS, you don't have to deal with anything like UEFI shells if you use OpenCore's quirks to skip doing things like DVMT and CFG Lock.

Be prepared to experiment with config and BIOS settings like legacy mode to fix sleep. Start with the guide I linked. It is the best starting point to learn and get your build working with OpenCore.

I would also check how others with your computer configured things in OpenCore or Clover. As far as I can tell the process is similar to 7020. Try to boot with this and if it works migrate it to OpenCore and learn step by step each part of the config and check each of those. It's fun!
