Safe macOS Update Procedure for OCLP Users
Accidentally clicking 'Update' in System Settings can brick a patched Mac if OpenCore is not updated first to support the new macOS build.
Safe Update Steps:
- Update OCLP App First: Always download and install the latest release of OCLP from GitHub before updating the OS.
- Build OpenCore to Disk: Click Build and Install OpenCore and install it to your internal drive EFI partition.
- Apply OS Update: Go to System Settings and install the update. Re-apply root patches immediately after boot.
Original Question: "What version of macOS should I update to, and how do I go about it?"
So I'm currently on a 2011, 27-inch iMac that is running macOS Monterey 12.7.6 using OCLP.
I have a update in the settings app for MacOS Tahoe 26.4.1 - but I know I shouldn't update straight from the settings app.
I was wondering what's the version I should go up to on this iMac - and how to go about updating to it without losing my data and files as well, thanks.
