+## Preparing OCLP for macOS update
+
+It is usually recommended to be on the latest OCLP version for macOS updates. This part details how to prepare OCLP for latest update.
+
+### Major upgrades 
+
+This part is for major upgrades, such as `Sonoma (14)` -> `Sequoia (15)`
+
+1. Make sure the OCLP app is up to date. 
+2. After app has updated, rebuild OpenCore to the internal disk to update the bootloader. 
+   * You can also update root patches but this part is optional in this stage, as they will be wiped by the update.
+2. Download the macOS version you want and create an installer USB drive using OCLP as detailed in the original [Creating macOS Installers](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/INSTALLER.html) guide, then follow the [Booting OpenCore and macOS](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/BOOT.html) guide boot to into the installer on your USB drive.
+3. Start macOS installation and follow the process, do not use Disk Utility if you don't want to wipe your disk.
+4. After installation, reinstall [root patches](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/POST-INSTALL.html#applying-post-install-volume-patches).
+
+**Note:** Major upgrades may work using System Settings but this is not recommended.
+
+### Minor updates
+
+This part is for minor updates, which are also called the "dot updates". Such as `12.x`, `13.x` etc.
+
+1. Make sure the OCLP app is up to date. 
+2. Rebuild OpenCore to the internal disk to update the bootloader. 
+   * You can also update root patches but this part is optional in this stage, as they will be wiped by the update.
+3. Start update from System Settings.
+    * If your system requires [KDKSupportPkg](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/POST-INSTALL.html#kdk-kernel-debug-kit), OCLP will start downloading it automatically as long as you are connected to the internet and have the [background process](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/PROCESS.html) enabled.
+4. Once installed, go into OCLP app and reinstall [root patches](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/POST-INSTALL.html#applying-post-install-volume-patches).
+
+::: warning Important
+
+Some systems on Sequoia require [MetallibSupportPkg](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/POST-INSTALL.html#metallibsupportpkg) during root patching after an update, which requires internet connection to download. If OCLP doesn't see internet connection, it will first offer a patch for WiFi only. You will have to reboot, connect to the internet and rerun root patching for the rest of the patches.
