I'm following this guide to update from El Capitan to High Sierra and the first step is to update Clover. I did this through Clover Configurator and restarted and now my only option is to "Start UEFI Shell 64" which just gives me a list of all of my partitions. FS0 has EFI but I don't know what to do with that information.

ALSO there is for some reason over 80 boot options in bios and when I run "bcfg boot dump ".

I'm really in the weeds and any help on what to do next would be greatly appreciated.
 
Ive had a few times where a clover update borked my install and it is usually because it deletes a driver. This is why I always back up my EFI folder before doing this. Check on your root directory and see if there is a folder called EFI-Backups. swap it back in and see if you get back to a bootable state.

Can I ask for baby step help in this swapping process? I'm not super excellent with shells.

EDIT: well... never mind... there doesn't seem to be a EFI-Backups folder.
 
hmm. well if you want post your EFI directory and hopefully someone can see what the problem is
 
Sorry for the delay. I appreciate any help anyone can give. Here's some photos that hopefully can help someone point me in the direction of waht to do next.

Bump I guess... I tried making a new post but it was deleted w/message "use your other thread please, someone already asked you for your efi folder to help you"
