Update without creating an installer?

[camboff]

Hello, I already have Ventura 13.2.1 installed on my Hackintosh and it seems to work without any trouble. I was wondering if I wanted to update it to the latest version can I just update it through Mac's system update or do I need to create another installer just for the latest version? Silly Question? Thanks.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Yeah no. didn't work. hung up on kernel panic. now my boot loader wants to start off on an installer and I have to select my Ventura boot drive instead. guess I'll start from scratch again.

No need. Just ensure you've got the latest kernel patches and kexts and the update should work just fine.

Which version of OC? Should be on the latest release.

yeah I don't know what happened but it panicked on me so I formatted the hard drive and created another boot disk with the latest version and that went flawlessly. thanks for everyone's input.
