Dear tonymacx86 Community,
I need some advice before I take the big shot in upgrading my OSX in dual boot (osx & win10 on separate SSDs) system from Sierra to Big Sur.
First things first: Is a direct update possible without out a complete reinstall?
Hardware wise: I presume that I won't be able to use my GTX960 anymore and have switch back to on-board Intel® HD-Grafik 530? Can this support a WQHD monitor over the Z170i Display port in Big Sur?
Software wise: I have my clover boot loader updated to v5144. Is this enough or I need something else?
The Current KEXT i see in my EFTI/CLOVER/kexts/others are just AppleALC, HDMIAudio & Lilu.
Do I need to do any BIOS update/changes appart from maybe activating the Internal GPU?
Any recommendation for the config.plist or System Definitions(current ist iMac (27-inch, Late 2013))? Kexts or latest Tonymac tools that I might require?
At the moment I have a Catalina Appstore Installer but App store does not allow me to download Big Sur. Maybe due to my system definitions. Is it better first to upgrade to Catalina or get Big sur (maybe using gibMacOs or change system definition using Multibeast-Sierra or Catalina)?
I found a few threads in the forums regarding a sierra to big sur update and I am trying to consolidate it depending on my setup. In case you need further system infos let me know.
Meanwhile thanks a lot for any advices/hints or tried&tested upgrade recipes.
