Converting 100% functional EFI from OpenCore 0.5.5 to the newest 0.6.5 - can anybody help me?

[mecenas666]

Hi guys! Im looking for help with converting my 100% functional config from OpencCore 0.5.5 to the newest one. I would like to update my hackintosh to the Big Sur now. I have my EFI with OpenCore 0.5.5 that works excellent with Catalina, but now i need to jump to the 0.6+ to be able to install Big Sur. Can anybody help me? I have all necesarry kexts, ACPI tables and USB port map. Im loosing my mind trying to do it by myself... Please help!

My setup: Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 + Threadripper 1920X + Radeon vega 64 + 32GB RAM 3600mHz + FENVI BT/WIFI.

Make a backup on a USB and ensure it'll boot with it before you do anything...

Next download the RELEASE version of OC from here, https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases/tag/0.6.5

Also download this handy script, https://github.com/corpnewt/OCConfigCompare

Now unpack the OC you've downloaded and navigate to the X64/EFI Folder and copy the BOOT folder to your EFI. Now copy OpenCore.efi into your EFI/OC folder and then update any drivers also.

Now run the OCConfigCompare script by running the .command file.
Choose option 3 and drag the Sample.plist from the downloaded OC Docs folder onto the Terminal Window,
Choose option 4 and drag your current config.plist onto the Terminal Window,
Choose option 5. This will display any differences between the two.

There will be options you need to remove from your config and some you need to add it. The Terminal window will show you all the changes needed.
Once you've made the changes feel free to reboot and try it out. Don't worry if it doesn't work, you've got that USB backup of your original OC

If it doesn't boot feel free to @ me on here and I'll help work out why.

Thank you for the clear instruction. I just updated from 0.59 to 0.65. Everything looks good now but not sure it's 100% stable. Will report back if anything goes south later.
