Can we update to Monterey safely ?

Thanks for the feedback!

It would be good if you use OpenCore. Intel Bluetooth might not work, and you can wait for the next release to fix it.

is the bluetooth issue fixed in the newest EFI v 1.6.3 ?

Yes

After updating to Mac OS 12, I got boot loop in apple logo.
I think it is because I use sata drive instead of m.2.
I think i have to delete my drive and downgrade to os11. :(

You might need CtlnaAHCIPort.kext for sata disks. Also, reset nvram might help. Using OpenCore is recommended.

For some reason, my mi notebook pro with core i7 8gen cpu cannot use opencore. I just delete the EFI of clover and put EFI of opencore and reboot.
Then after mi logo appear , it just stuck there . So i just use clover .
I will try again with the latest clover . Where should i put the CtlnaAHCIPort.kext ? Should I put it in EFI>clover>kexts>others ?

You need to add OpenCore as a boot entry.

Where should i put the CtlnaAHCIPort.kext ? Should I put it in EFI>clover>kexts>others ?

Yes.

Yes I click F2 choose open core as main boot option or F12 to manually choose opencore to boot but my computer just could not boot using open core. I remember I use open core last year and after some update, it just didn't boot so I go back to clover.

Plus I tried to install macos12 again after updating from Catarina to Big Sur .
And I found that in Big Sur , macOS 12 didn't allow me install update to my Sata drive.
But if I update macos12 from Catarina , it allows me to update but it boot loop at apple logo.
So I think the main problem is mac12 didn't support sata currently .
May be I am too noob to figure it out lol.
Thanks for all the help and explanations.

I fresh install Catarina and put the CtlnaAHCIPort.kext in clover , I can somehow able to boot into macOS12 and it is doing just fine.
I don't understand what is the real reason why I cannot update macOS12 previously. Because previously , I tried the same steps as I did now and did not work .

Anyway all's well that ends well I guess lol.
