OpenCore 0.6.9 to 0.9.6 is it possible directly?

[woody4165]

Hi

On a laptop I'm on version 0.6.9 and now the latest version is 0.9.6

Can I try to install directly the latest one, following all the changes I have to do in the config.plist and eventually in other configuration files or should I install each version from 0.6.9 to latest one ?

Thanks

Hi there

The safest way might be to create a bootable USB stick with your new, test, EFI folder for 0.9.6 on it. Once you have updated the core components and run your config.plist through the ocvalidate app, try booting with it. If there are any problems you can always boot your PC using the original EFI on the main drive. If there are no problems, you've done the job.

Have you've ever heard of a tool called OC Auxiliary Tools that should the update automatically ?

It seems to be very easy, probably too much.

Yes, I have. A lot of people use it.

I would still test the new EFI on a bootable USB stick just to make sure nothing untoward happens, exactly because you are making such a large jump from 0.6.9 to 0.9.6.

You can always put your original EFI on the USB stick, boot from it, then let OCAT update that. You know then that the original on the main drive is safe.

Which ever way you are happiest with.

Works like a charm. I'm using it like forever now. With several builds. Here a screenshot:

Hi all, I'm planning to update from Big Sur to Monterey, so I think I need to update OpenCore from 0.7.1 to a newer one. This is my first attempt to update OpenCore. I will follow the official guide but are there any Optimac-specific tweaks needed? Attached is my EFI, FYI. Thank you!
