Direct Update to macOS Sierra using Clover​

Established Clover users on OS X El Capitan who wish to update directly to macOS Sierra can do so just like a regular Mac would. This fully native method requires no USB creation or preparation.

Before you begin, we strongly recommend performing a full backup of your existing system using Carbon Copy Cloner. By doing this, you can always go back to your working OS X El Capitan installation.

1. Download the latest version of Clover from sourceforge and update your existing Clover install.

2. Open Clover configuration folder on the root of your system drive or EFI Partition using EFI Mounter v3. Copy FakeSMC.kext and any other extra necessary kexts to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/. If you need essential kexts, download them here.

3. Download Install macOS Sierra Application from the Mac App Store. When complete, the app will open. Please note, the Application will disappear after use.

4. Choose system drive for install (Example: Macintosh HD). When complete, the computer will automatically reboot.

5. When Clover boot screen appears, choose Boot macOS Install option (Example: Boot macOS Install from Macintosh HD). Choosing your system drive will go back to your previous installation without updating. Press spacebar to enter Boot Options and choose Without Caches option and/or Inject Kexts option then Boot Mac OS X with selected options.

6. Complete the installation process. When complete, the computer will automatically reboot.

7. When Clover boot screen appears, choose Boot Mac OS X option (Example: Boot Mac OS X from Macintosh HD). The computer will then complete the update.

I've followed all the steps as specified. But I'm not getting the Boot to macOS Install option in CLOVER Bootloader. I'm using clover_r3763. Please help me. I'm new to this section.

The update went through without problems.
In MacOS I updates Nvidia driver via the upgrade option of Nvidia WebDriver control.
After a reboot I get a black screen now.
How can I solve that?
Nividia GTX970

thx but i have restarted 2 or 3 times ?

I updated my installed clover on the mac and then rebooted and then the EFI showed up - but the Toledo HDMI fix didn't work and seems the realtekALC.kext is in there but also when the efi mounts the FakeSMC and realtekALC.kext are outside the EFI folder? could this have any bearing?

there is no 10.12 folder just other in EFI i tried to create 10.12 folder and add realtekALC.kext but doesn't work???

The update from El Capitan to Sierra went flawlessly on my old Xeon E5450 based Hackintosh using the latest Clover bootloader.

Will this work on dual Win10 + elCapitan boot?
