Any Chance to install it onto a ACER Aspire XC - 705

[TheMacUser]

Hello guys,

is there any chance to get Yosemite or smth. newer to work on this machine ?
I want to switch from my big PC to this tiny one if possible.

I installed Snow Leopard and run with Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v2.0 r431 and used the iBoot Haswell BootCD

But any try to upgrade it to a newer OS failed. Also UniBeast won´t work. And direct Installation of Yosemite wont start - PC restarts but it hangs up (need iBoot for startup)

Model: ACER Aspire XC - 705
CPU: Intel Core i3-4170
RAM: 8GB DDR3

And if yes can you please tell me the fitting:

Bootloader
kexts

and procedure to go for latest possible OS ?

@Feartech i updated my profile with "latest info"

Got it to work on the ACER Aspire XC - 705 with OpenCore and the prebuild EFI from this guy:

.... while i wasted a lot time to try it before with UniBeast and Chameleon/Chimera, Clover Bootloader
