I'm thinking about changing from 14.2 to 17.x to have Sidecar working. Any recommendations on this ayone?

You need to use iMac19,1 if you want Sidecar to work.

By far the best Mac I ever owned (and it's only getting better) Thank you so much.

Hi all,

I used this guide a few years ago to get myself up and running on High Sierra.

A few weeks ago I updated my clover, and now my system no longer boots, probably because clover has new features or changed the way it uses UEFI drivers etc.

Would someone be kind enough to send me their EFI partition please, so I can try get it working again?

I've attached my config.plist and EFI partition as well.

My machine was on High Sierra previously.

Processor: i7-6700K
GFX: GTX 1080ti

Unfortunately, Nvidia stopped releasing web drivers for their video cards. High Sierra is the last version of macOS that will work your video card.

That's why I kept my High Sierra installation all these years.

I can mount my EFI partition on Windows and edit it if someone can help provide their config.plist or EFI partiton please.

If you change your video card to one that is supported by Big Sur, the attached EFI should work.

Thank you for the files!

@pastrychef That is the reason I have switched to vega 56 GPU from GTX 1080.
Btw I have also updated to the bigSur on the first day of launch and everything seems working really well

What's the card performance like? I'm thinking of getting rid of the 1080ti for an amd card but not sure what it's equivalent is. I still want to use the PC for gaming
