Hackintosh OpenCore Vanilla Guide, Step by Step

Bokica11 replied to MaLd0n's topic in Installation Guides

Hi @MaLd0n, a need some advice. I use clover(v.5120 - can't upgrade to newest version: error when booting in clover: "A fatal error happened. System halted") with dual boot Catalina and Windows 10. What is best way to make upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur, asking for staying with clover or go on opencore? Now all things works fine and have no trouble using Catalina. I prefer clover, how to fix upgrade to newer clover and prepare clover to Big Sur? NOTEBOOK: HP ProoBook 430 G3 Intel core i5 6200-U Thank you!
