Fortunately you’re in a good position to install Monterey from scratch because you have an OpenCore EFI folder.Yes, I think you're right. I was hoping to be able to switch from Clover to Opencore to spare me the hassle of re-installing everything (especially since it working so well at the moment) but a fresh install seems to be the best option.
Here's what I was thinking to do:
- install Monterey using OpenCore on my "clone" SSD.
- When everything is great and works fine, I will backup my files from my "original" NVMe on one of my other SSD
- Then I could use SuperDuper (or whatever else) to duplicate my working Monterey over my original NVMe.
- Finally, I transfer my files over to my new NVMe on Monterey
Does that make sense?
If yes, which guide could I look up for a fresh Monterey or Ventura installation using OpenCore?
Simply follow STEP 1 and STEP 2 from this guide to create USB install disk. Then copy your EFI folder to EFI partition of USB disk.
Now boot from the USB disk and select “Install macOS Monterey”.
