OSX: Installing Sierra over El Capitan

Information found here:

Install Sierra:

  • Update Clover from Clover Configurator, then reboot
  • Copy kext to inject from 10.11
cp -R /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11/* /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
  • Copy NVDAStartup.kext from El Capitan, to avoid a kernel panic on Sierra install
cp -R /Volumes/osx/System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
  • Download Sierra from Mac App Store 
  • Reboot and choose Boot macOS Install option. Before running the install, press spacebar and tick Without cache + Inject kexts. This will install and start Sierra. 
  • When Sierra up, re-mount EFI partition 
  • Remove Sierra NVDAStartup.kext
rm -R /Volumes/osx/System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext
  • Copy NVDAStartup.kext from EFI partition to Desktop
