What was not tested

Optional things to do

1. Updating BIOS to the latest version and BIOS configuration

Install latest BIOS with fixes for your laptop, it can be found in "Support" tab on official Acer website (I have 1.05 at the moment)

Once the update is done, go in your BIOS setup. For my model, I must press F2 at boot. Press F9 to reset default settings. Enable "F12 Boot Menu" in Main tab. Set Supervisor Password in Security tab. Disable "Secure Boot" in Boot tab. Save changes.

2. OpenCore EFI bootloader installation

Install OpenCore (the easy way)

3. Installation guide

Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere and other useful configurations

It just speeds up the configuration. You can put it back as it was after this guide.

Optimize

At this point, you may eject your installation drive and reboot.

Messages and FaceTime fix

The simplest guide I found was the one here : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/simple-imessage-guide-for-yosemite-and-el-capitan.186276/ , but I didn't have any problems from start.

P.S Feel free to create issues to fix my guide or give me some suggestions, you're welcome! Also, more comprehensive and descriptive guide can be found here
