Good Day everyone. Here is the breakdown. Beforehand, I was running Catalina using Clover on a regular SSD for the same system; no issues. Then after over a year of using the system, I decided to update and did the following:
- Formatted USB Installer, downloaded Monterey on apple device, installed on USB device, added "opencore 0.74 EFI Z390M" --found on this thread-- and added to USB EFI.
- Flashed BIOS to reflect F9 version and updated recommended BIOS settings
Note: I was planning to install Monterey on WD750 M.2 drive and keep the SSD (Catalina) as a backup.
When I try to install (using USB boot loader), I get the OpenCore menu and I click on "Install Monterey" ; however, I see the Apple logo then it freezes.
I was planning to update UID, Serial, ROM after I installed Monterey; however, I'm stuck. What am I missing?
