Help an Oldbie become a Newbie: Need help Re-Hackint0shing Lappy

[Sabotender]

Hey all,


So I have my old user account on a SSD that is impossible to recover its original hackint0sh state because I stupidly tried to become system Owner to files I shouldnt have, and Nvidia Webdrivers immediately complained, and I was never able to log back in.

Byebye High Sierra, NVidia Webdrivers, and true Video hardware acceleration.

So, where do I go from here? I need to start over, while things have changed since I've dabbled into DDSTing.

I'm pretty self reliant and independent, not asking for any hand holding or spoonfeeding, just a good point in the correct direction to the correct guide and whatnot.

My hardware list is in my profile, but I can provide what info required, as best as I can, for context.

To be fair, would be interesting to see which newer version would function on my older, but vogue hardware.

Im planning on installing the new version and getting things set up audio, video, usb, etc, going...but this time I am going to dd a perfect image elsewhere, for backup, before I import my user account.
