hello! i am working on building the ultimate hp elitebook 8760w workstation laptop. my machine currently has the best cpu which it currently has the

~ Intel Core i7 2670QM 2.20ghz.
~ 16gb DDR3 Ram 1333mhz
~ 320gb storage hdd & 256gb ssd 2.5" "Sata"
~ Current GPU is a nvidia quadro K1000M 2gb gddr3

Im looking for the extened battery for this laptop if anyone can find it. im having a hard time finding it. i think the model number is B10A something like that i cant remember honestly.
im also looking to install a 1080ti or a 880m 8gb GDDR5 mxm gpu. im thinking im going to go with the 880m so i can run mac os mojave or mac os Big Sur with a hackintosh build using open core.

but my question is how do i flash/modify the bios on the on a 880m so its compatible with the lvds video out put on my machine. i know its possible because ive seen other pepole do it before.
what tools/software do i need to modify the bios on my gpu? i have an adapter picked out to dump the bios onto my pc. i foudn this mxm to pcie adapter on alaiexpress to dump the bios and i have a plan on desging a custom heatsink for the gpu so i dont kill the card from heat. any pointers or help would be greatly apricated. im also planning on upgrading the motherboard from the dual ram slots to the quad ram slots version for 32gb of ram support. and im also going to modify the motherboard so it can accept 3 msata ssd's and then ill be using a sata to dual msata 2.5" drive adapter to put 2tb msata ssd's in there in each slot and also remove the cd rom drive and put a sata adapter in there with the msata adapter as well. then i plan on taking the 9 2tb msata ssd's and putting them in raid 0 and having one the partition split for dual booting operating systems, mac os Big Sur, Windows 10, Windows Vista, and Windows XP Pro 64bit with uefi mod + Secure Boot. im also working on a mod to bring uefi support to windows vista.

Why would you need to build an ultimate version of a laptop that's obsolete in 2025?

IMHO, you're wasting resources behind a laptop that will eventually just sit on a shelf, for posterity's sake.
