The upgrade to OC 0.7.5 is very easy. My upgrade steps are below. Test first on a USB Drive (before you upgrade OC on your primary boot volume) and be sure to Reset NVRAM after upgrading your EFI and before booting macOS.
OC 0.7.5 EFI R001 (upgrade from OC 0.7.4 EFI R001 attached to Post #1)
- EFI/BOOT: Update BOOTx64.efi
- EFI/OC: Update OpenCore.efi
- EFI/OC/Drivers: Update OpenRuntime.efi, HfsPlus.efi (and AudioDxe.efi if you need boot chime)
- EFI/OC/Kexts
- Update AppleALC.kext 1.6.5 -> 1.6.6
- Update Lilu.kext 1.5.6 -> 1.5.7
- Update WhateverGreen.kext 1.5.4 -> 1.5.5
- EFI/OC/Tools: Update tools
- EFI/OC/config.plist
- Add ACPI > Quirks > ResizeAppleGpuBars (Integer, -1)
- Add UEFI > Quirks > ResizeGpuBars (Integer, -1)
If you're using Bluetooth, Acidenthera has posted BrcmPatchRAM 2.6.1 if you need it.
I took the time today to upgrade to OC 0.7.5 from 0.6.9 as well. It was much less painful than I was expecting. This was my method:
1. Downloaded and overwrote all the OC files in my EFI Partition.
2. Had to get also the binary resource files which also have an updated icon folder structure.
3. Updated Opencore Configurator and loaded my config.plist then saved it on location
4. Brought all my kexts up to date.
5. Rebooted (didn't even reset nvram)
Basically this updates all additions to config.plist in one whiff though I admit to have checked them one by one against @deeveedee's posts.
Now the question is whether or not to upgrade to Monterey... All my real macs are already upgraded and am thinking about skipping this version and wait for the next one. For those who upgraded, how do you feel about Monterey? I am reading about BT and sleep issues on other systems.
