OC and kext updates are always available on Github. Milliuco maintains a thread here about the differences in OC versions. As others have experienced you may encounter performances issues with your GPU if you update to macOS 12.3.

All golden here with OC 0.7.9 on macOS 12.3. Including the internal intel 82574L NIC.

Nice - so you can utilize the built in Intel graphics with you Z490 Vision D if you don't have another dGPU and use your VegaVII in your Z690. Hope this answers your question.

I am using a USB-C enclosure for a Samsung 970 NVMe SSD drive and trim is not available via USB.

What hardware are you using Z690 or Z490?

Not sure which Intel Graphics you are talking about. This thread is for the Z690 motherboard and the built in Intel graphics do not work, you will need a supported dGPU. However, your hardware profile indicates you are using a Z490 motherboard which the built in Intel graphics work just fine.

Follow the OpenCore official guide https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/update.html#updating-opencore

I would suggest updating to Opencore 0.7.5 (released tomorrow) first with current configuration for Big Sur. Then after you have a problem free Dell inspiron computer running O.C. 0.7.5 for Big Sur you might want to try to update to Monterey.

Plist editor from the App store is also a good choice.

For OpenCore updates I always use OCConfigCompare and ocvalidate...clean, no dependency on other apps. Never any issues.

@ CaseySJ - I've enjoyed all 695 pages of this forum plus the over 3200 pages of your Z390 thread. Others could answer most of their questions if they would just take some time and learn. Your awesome. Thanks!

CaseySJ - you are a very patient man! I'm experiencing lack of oxygen recently in this forum!
