    Gunnar, I was able to update the Monterey OS on my 2017 vintage machine. It does work and Logos 38 is happy.

    Hi Gunnar, my curiosity has gotten to me. Were you successfull in the quest to upgrade the OS? I failed to mention that you do need a 32 GB flash drive for the upgrade and an optional Time Machine backup if you are not comfortable just restoring from scratch if there was a major hiccup.

    Hi Kevin, no I couldn't get it to work. Tried 4 times, got new flash drive, tried again. The problem is, that when the flash is ready, and I try booting from it, and select the EFI from flash as boot-drive, the computer still boots from internal drive. I never get to booting into the opencore on the flash, and therefore never get to the point, where I have to choose between Disktool/delete and Installation upgrade to the existing OS.

    As I am preparing my next sermon, I try to forget all about it for now. The EFI-editing and the like is not the time, I think.

    So the video from Anson looks nice and easy, but didn't work as easy for me.

    Hi Kevin - perfect! Now it worked as expected. Thank you so much.

    Now Sequoia is up and running - what a joy!

    Maybe I also had part in this issue. An earlier Youtuber I saw, advised to remove checkmark in OCLP/Setting: Show OpenCore Boot Picker, and so I did. But the checkmark should be there, until the installation is completed, and not removed before that. I did, and that could also be part of the boot-problem. But anyways your advice made all the good stuff happen.

    OCLP have released an update yesterday, that handles something around Sequoia 15.2 i think. Just saying if an OS-update is coming.

    But now I am good and can continue with the work that it's all about !

    I wish you a joyful advent and christmas - I am already arrived there, and in that you play an important role.

    God Bless you!

    It was a pleasure to help you brother! My gift is that you get to continue to preach the Word without hindrance. I am happy my talents help someone else. I am blessed in many ways.
    I’ll keep checking for the next incremental release. Don’t forget to run root patching after any Mac updates. I just updated OCLP in preparation for 15.2. I would not recommend advancing beyond Sequoia with these outdated Intel chips. Your laptop should be fine with Logos for two more major MAC updates.
    God Bless you my new friend from afar!
