Lenovo Ideapad 5 IIL05 features Intel Core i5 1035G1 Ice Lake, Nvidia GeForce Mx350 with 2GB VRAM, Intel UHD graphics, 8GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, and audio via an Intel Wi-Fi 6 adapter.
This setup isn't ideal for macOS. The GPU uses Pascal technology, which only supported macOS High Sierra at the time—about four years ago. It won't function with any later macOS releases.
Technically, you can install a Clover USB with High Sierra without any updates.
It could possibly work, but I'm unsure about its performance on High Sierra. You'd have to confirm if the Nvidia drivers are compatible with macOS, which is something I'm uncertain about. Plus, you'd likely be limited to an outdated macOS version that's losing support, and even then Office wouldn't support it anymore.
If you have a certified Catalina installation hosted directly on Apple servers within a VM, you should still be able to update it through the usual methods provided by Apple.
Yes, I understand. It doesn't matter, so updates are possible.
It seems like you're confirming that updating the VM is possible.
