D. Graphics (Intel iGPU / AMD dGPU)

Olarila images often ship with OpenCore 0.7.x – you can upgrade to 0.9.x+.

1. Download latest OpenCore release from acidanthera/OpenCorePkg.
2. Mount EFI partition.
3. Replace EFI/OC/BOOT/BOOTx64.efi and EFI/OC/OpenCore.efi with new ones.
4. Update drivers (HfsPlus.efi, OpenRuntime.efi, etc.) in EFI/OC/Drivers.
5. Use OCConfigCompare or ProperTree to update config.plist schema.
6. Keep your kexts updated (Lilu, VirtualSMC, WhateverGreen).
7. Test booting from USB before committing to internal drive.

Step 3: Mount the USB’s EFI Partition

Once the image is written, your USB will have two partitions:

• EFI (diskXs1)
• macOS Big Sur Installer (diskXs2)

Using a tool like Explorer++ (Windows) or Hackintool (macOS), mount the EFI partition.
