Hello folks,
I have built a Hackintosh a little while ago, and subsequent hardware and software updates have turned it into a Frankenstein that boots successfully about half the time. The build that I am currently operating on is similar to this one (link), and the one that I am looking to upgrade to is going to have a similar hardware configuration to this one (link).
If you don't want to dig through the links, I am looking to replace my i7 4770K CPU with an i7 6700K, my GA-Z87X-UD3H motherboard with a GA-Z170X-UD5, and my Mavericks OS with Sierra. I would like to maintain my GTX 980ti (I already have the NVIDIA WebDriver).
My question is what steps I need to take to install this new hardware and update the OS, preserving my data rather than completely wiping the hard drive and starting over. I'm not entirely familiar with the use of Clover, which is used in the instructions of the i7 6700 build above, and I am afraid that doing so would result in a clean slate of a computer, which is what I am trying to avoid.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
