I asked CaseySJ this same sort of question not to long ago. I was in a similar predicament. He had me follow the migration to OpenCore and then went through these steps:To another question and request for advice.
I'm currently on Clover 5122 and macOS 10.15.7. I've recently bought a Radeon 6900 XT, which is one of the reasons I now want to upgrade to macOS Monterey.
What is the best course of action to go about doing this?
I'm extremely happy with my current system. It's setup exactly the way I want it and it's very stable. I also have dual boot with Windows setup on a separate SSD which is working great. I want to make this transition as painless as possible, so how do I do it best?
Thanks a bunch guys/gals!!
- Should I transition from Clover to OpenCore? Or is it now possible to upgrade Clover on this system?
- Can I upgrade to Monterey on top of my current install or is it definitely better to do a clean install? (and then use TimeMachine restore)
- Depending on what you guys suggest, are there any links to guides/info that I need that you could direct me to?
- Anything else I should think about regarding the Radeon 6900XT? My plan is to keep my current Vega 64 inside the computer while doing all the updating and then swap the card when all that is done. Does that sound like a good plan?
First I had to upgrade the BIOS and just modify these steps https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...olt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.316533/post-2284374
Then I went through these steps:

It has been extremely helpful and I am running Monterey fine. OpenCore appears to be much easier to maintain than Clover. I don't regret it.
