Hi ... Working Big Sur here ; Just wondering will I lose my graphics if I do a software update from Big Sur to Sonoma . Graphics Card / Controller MSI (nVIDIA) GT710 . Working fully at the moment .

OK ... Got Mavericks 10.9 installed ... now the only issue is how to boot without the installer USB-disk . When I try to boot from the internal SATA-drive it fails . Is it as easy as copying / pasting the efi folder from Clover on the USB-disk to the efi partition on the internal disk ? Or how can I accomplish this ?

Can You please tell me what version I should go for ? ; That would run "smoothly" ?
