The FAQ is very clear on the required files for the case you can't boot.

Hello,
I would like to update by 4530s (see profile) to High Sierra.
Currently I am on El Captain 10.11.4 installed on a Samsung EVO SSD. Everything is working perfectly.
The install was done with nguyenmac's PBI (no longer supported).
I want to stay with HFS+ format.
I have read and re-read:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...book-zbook-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.232948/ and this: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/.
No doubt the instructions work, but I am confused on the exact (and only necessary) steps to take to update my system.
Can someone who has made this kind of a transition please post the steps? Would following post #7 here be all I need?
Thanks in advance.

Hello RehabMan,
Thank you for your quick response. I have of course read those already. Let me be more specific. I am starting here (quoting the Guide):
"To transition from PBI-CE based install
If you used the ProBook Installer-Clover Edition (PBI-CE), you can transition to this hotpatch setup:
1) remove all files in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched except for SSDT.aml (it came from ssdtPRGen.sh)
2) then follow all instructions for post-install in the guide (ACPI/patched, config.plist)
3) you can skip the part about "Power Management" unless you accidentally deleted SSDT.aml
4) ./downloads.sh and ./install_downloads.sh can be used to update your kexts"
My questions are:
(note: I am trying this first on a HD clone)
a. Do I upgrade Clover after or before step 1?
b. In step 2 do I need to follow all the steps in post-install section as it says or just the sections in parentheses?
c. do I start the HS Installer after step 4?
Apologies if these are dumb questions. I am far from understanding how all this works, but I would like continue to benefit from the good work done on this forum. I have managed since 10.6.8 and hopefully picked up a little bit along the way. The only thing I can offer back is to report successes on upgrading my current two build.
Thanks again.

I would update Clover before starting.
Follow all, as written.
Read guide, post #1, "System updates".
Essentially, you want to insure your EFI/Clover is up-to-date with respect to the github project, and your kexts installed to the system volume are up-to-date before starting any sort of system update.

Thanks for your reply. I gave it a run but must have messed up somewhere since the furthest I got was 10.13.3 running without sound, function keys and trackball pref panel. I will try again starting by cloning my SSD (build from PBI) to a spare HDD.
Two questions:
1) I tried ssdtPRgen.sh (without any arguments) but the system would not boot. So, I went back to my original SSDT.
Is it OK to continue with SSDT from 10.11.4 or should I try some of the arguments in the Guide?
2) You replied to start with Post Installation. Can I assume that I should start with the second paragraph since I have a running system (after updating to latest Clover)?
Thanks in advance.

No ideas without "problem reporting" files.
You should check for correct EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI...

Switching over to Hotpatch (still on 10.11.4) was successful! Indeed following the Guide carefully and taking the time to understand what is happening at each step was the key. I updated Clover/UEFI as the last step before rebooting and everything works as before. Like magic. Next step is High Sierra.
Update: Followed the Guide for System Updates and High Sierra 10.13.3 update was a success. On the first reboot, function keys, touchpad and energy pref panes did not work. After cache rebuilt and couple of reboots, the systems is fully functional. It seems I had to re-install Clover/UEFI even though it was installed in the previous step.
Thanks, RehabMan!
