Upgrade from High Sierra

why?

I'm currently unsure what is wrong with my old High Sierra boot stick as it results in a black screen, despite verbose -v being on.

I also tried to set up a separate new Boot Stick with OpenCore and a macOS Ventura Installer, but this is still work in progress. Trying to boot my old system with OpenCore fails with a "Error: Could not find APFS system volume handle", and trying to launch the installer crashes with the complaints about USB, I probably need to read up on the USB port mapping.

also Ventura is out of the question with your hardware

What part is problematic? How far can I upgrade? The graphics card is getting updated, otherwise I thought you said I could upgrade straight to Ventura?

High Sierra with your nvidia

Ventura if you remove your nvidia and use your built-in Intel graphics
 
I'm still unable to get the installer to start from the USB drive. I attached the boot log along with the EFI content.
