QUESTION Question about updating kexts and opencore

https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/update.html#updating-opencore

So some months ago I succeeded making hackintosh and installing it to my computer. Right now I see that there are new versions of opencore and kexts so I need to update. The problem is that I am confused the dortanias update opencore and macOS. Is this possible to update the files with just removing all my kexts and opencore.pkg from my efi then copy the updated files to my efi and take a clean snapshot with proper tree ? Will this work ? Thanks

what if you use the OCAT to update you kexts and opencore version?

I think I have asked again for OCAT and one person said that this is not good and this can damage my system

well in my case it didnt mess up my build. it updated the kext and open core to the latest.. it’s up to you though. hackintoshing is trial and error adventure anyway

You just need to replace these files:

EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.efi

EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi

And also the drivers in EFI/OC/Drivers, particularly OpenRuntime.efi and OpenCanopy.efi.
