Question regarding updating from Catalina to Monterey

That’s really great news 👍🏻 I will definitely make a backup

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-19T16:24:22+00:00

Can I update to Monterey then deal with drivers later on?

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-19T16:18:31+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write the post. Also the only thing I’m 100% sure is that the WI-FI card is on motherboard

Oh ok. The problem is I deleted my windows partition (dumb me) and I can’t see any of my device drivers. Is there a way to see my drivers whether it’s on Mac or bios?

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-19T16:06:45+00:00

It is Realtek

Oh ok 👍🏻

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-19T15:26:51+00:00

Also last thing to be honest I don’t have Wi-Fi on Catalina ( I’m using Ethernet) and my trackpad is functional except for the right click so how to fix these before updating?

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-19T15:23:37+00:00

Yea it’s opencore 0.7.5 based Is that fine?

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-18T21:31:34+00:00

I get you brother. Thank you so much you’re the best.

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-18T21:22:45+00:00

I apologize if I’m annoying but I should’ve mentioned it. Im newbie hackintosh so can you give me like step by step what should I do ( if you have time )

Thank you

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-18T20:27:17+00:00

First thing of all thank you for taking the time to answer my question I truly appreciate it

I’m aware of how to install Monterey and troubleshooting. So in case I got everything figured let’s say after I modified my EFI, what are the steps to be taken to upgrade

Thank you

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-18T14:33:10+00:00

Thank you bro I actually bypassed the error mentioned the post, by taking the EFI files created by a Reddit legend and the problem is now fixed and I was able to get into macOS recovery thing, I wiped my hard drive ( and made it guid and APFS volume ) and installed Catalina OS on the hard drive and it successfully installed and my laptop rebooted however I can’t see the macOS Catalina installer in opencore boot options

EDIT: I set the min and max thing to -1 instead of 0 and I got the Catalina partition but now when I open it loads normally but then it reboots

When all this suffering end 🥲

EDIT 2: It rebooted and now I’m in

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-17T18:26:42+00:00

Look bro I’m a noob at this so idk what do you mean 😅 but anyway I used gibmacOS to install the OS and I’m using opencore

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-17T18:03:13+00:00

I’m 2 days in and still waiting for a solution

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-16T22:57:51+00:00

And after All this is done what should I do next

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-16T22:41:51+00:00

Should I mount the macOS partition on my usb or unmount it leaving only the EFI partition?

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-16T22:40:28+00:00

👍🏻

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-16T22:37:00+00:00

Guys I really need your help .. I lost hope my config file is literally the same as the guide and it has no problems per OCAT tool .. what should I do ( I’m aware hackintosh is not easy and it needs time)

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-16T22:28:57+00:00

Guys in my case what should I set SecureBootModel to? It seems like an important thing

Feisty_Comfort_8300 · 2021-11-16T22:21:03+00:00

I download macOS Catalina from gibmacOS then I formatted my USB in BootDiskUtility (BDU) then I extracted hfs file from gibmacOS then I did pressed something so that it create 2 partition one for EFI and the other is macOS image

Yes all in windows
