Quick documentation of what I had to do to successfully update from OpenCore 0.6.5 to OpenCore 0.6.6
By following this link https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/multiboot/bootstrap.html#updating-bootstrap-in-0-6-6.
NOTE: This is specifically tied to my own configuration and I'm mainly documenting this as to not forget about it in the future. I would advise you follow the instructions in the link above before anything else.
- IMPORTANT: Prepare a USB key with
OpenShell.efi
copied to/EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.efi
- Set

toTrue
andMisc -> Boot -> BootProtect
toNone

) - Type
