Hello
I am looking to update from Catalina to Monterey and a bit stuck on what is the best method.
My build:
i9 9900K, S 1151, Coffee Lake
XFX radeon RX 580 GTS XXX
Gigabyte Z390 UD
I have Catalina 10.15.7 installed with opencore 0.5.9 last year and i am trying to update to the Monterey. This had the simple load screen, with the boot options in a list, in the top left corner.
I tried creating a new EFI folder with the latest opencore (0.7.6) but this didnt work and i ended up with a clover boot screen, where you would have the option to choose the Mac install, restart, shutdown. But there was no Mac OS to choose.
So i copied my original EFI folder back to the SSD, but now i get a clover boot load screen instead of the simple opencore list as mentioned above.
But it allows me to boot back in to my Catalina install. I dont really get why its changed to clover?
Whats the best route to update to monterey?
Can i just click install on Monterey and let it update as a mac would?
Or do i need to install from fresh? if i do that can i pull all my apps, settings, etc from my catalina install in to Monterey via Time Machine? or am i just installing everything again and copying everything across?
Any advice on what to do would awesome, thanks
