Hi there!
I built my hackintosh a long time ago, and I'm still running MacOS Sierra. Naturally, updates to all my programs are pretty much unsupported at this point so I'm looking to upgrade my OS to Big Sur. Couple of questions I'm hoping the team might be able to help with:
1. Any chance I could do a direct (standard) upgrade from Sierra to Big Sur just by running the Install MaxOS app? (without booting to USB, wiping the hard drive, doing a brand new install, reinstalling all my kexts, etc)
2. Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to run Big Sur on my existing hardware? I have a Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI, running a 6700K and GTX 1080.
Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
