Running Yosemite on Sony Vaio VPCEA46FG using clover, everything working except my Ricoh card reader. Im dual booting windows alongside OSX.
My graphics hardware is ATI 5470mobility.
So what are the necessary check-list for a harmless update to sierra ?

Known problems with sleep/wake on AMD graphics since 10.11.x. You should probably stick with Yosemite.

I had that sleep-wake issue in yosemite and used ATi connectors patch injected via clover to solve it.
So its better that i clone my entire hard give and give sierra a try, using the same config right ?

Keep in mind the ATI specific settings have been removed from the latest Clover.
Must use KextsToPatch instead.

Oh i see, i will use the current version of clover then.
Btw will the sierra update from yosemite overwrite clover ?

Clover update required for kext injection to work with 10.12.4.
The macOS installer will not overwrite Clover.

Okey so there is no direct kext injection in the latest clover and i should use KextsToPatch : any guides on using that ?
i found this somewhat similar
