Cannot boot into Windows after Opencore OSX migration

[Feartech]

Ok, thats kind of neat app (PlistEditPro) but looks harder to edit in that text..
I do not even have any "Launcher" entries in that section:

**assuming it is even going to address the issue at hand.

you can also look at the bottom window to also edit entries etc

Can I do that while I'm booted in MacOS?

yes

wow... through all the updating (from windows - linux) I might have transposed the Opencore.efi from some other folder on my drives.

If you use OC 0.9.5 then the LauncherOption should be there by default !

Try to ocvalidate your config.plist.

The Opencore.efi on my MacOS drive says it was originally created in 2020, so.... not 9.5!

Can I just drop that file in my EFI folder, replacing the older one, or should I drop the whole folder and generate all new .aml etc... /sigh I was so tired by that point, heh.

The easiest way is HackinDROM, it will update everything for you.

OK... that was a big NO.
Neither replacing the entire EFI folder or piecemeal worked, could not boot past OC Menu.
So I guess I will have to start over from scratch and make an entire new EFI folder, and use the correct version of OC this time.

Not something I wish to do atm though, so disabling my Mac drive in order to boot into Windows will have to suffice for the immediate future.

Apparently I mixed up the OC folders during all the apps, configuration, etc and I am running OC 6.4 - which I guess the latest version of HackinDROM doesn't like. When I run the program I get the little icon in the menu bar but it is dark and does nothing when I click on it. The github post doesn't mention what versions support what OC - except for 2.1.0 for OC 6.6 and above. Will try others.

Mount the EFI in HackinDROM and right click, the option ‘update’ will appear, click it.

It doesn't run - I get the icon - and the icon does nothing. Tried the latest version (2.1.8) all the way back to (2.0.4) it just sits up there in the menu bar mocking me when I click on it...

Attach here your WORKING/ORIGINAL/OLD EFI folder ( zip it before ).
I'll try to see what could be wrong.
Meantime you can start a fresh building.
