Hacking Updating "old" Switch to modern AMS setup

[Nicro]

Hey there,
I dropped out of the loop for a bit and things seem to work a little different now.
I have an RCM-able Switch that I put AMS on, eventually adding an emuNAND via Hekate. I kept all my efuses with AutoRCM and ChoiDujourNX.
I have a "clean" NAND-Backup and the right number of fuses for it.

From what I've read, the preferred setup now is a clean OFW NAND for everything Stock-Nintendo and an emuNAND for everything homebrew made using Daybreak and Exosphere.
Going that route I would restore my backup and treat it like a fresh install, since I'm not terribly attached to anything currently on it.

Could I get a sanity check on the info I got?
What are the rough steps to take to get up-to-date?
Would it be good to not update the sysNAND's FW from the factory version or does that not matter?
I also read that something in Daybreak replaces Hekate/AutoRCM in terms of preserving fuses, but I can't find it now, so I guess that's false.

Thanks in advance

great! Not everybody does this. Choi is deprecated…use Daybreak moving forward.

yes…directionally correct. Link for updating at the bottom.

Unless you have a museum piece under 4.0 then it really doesn’t matter much.

False. Daybreak is a FW updater. Hekate still prevents fuses from being blown.

Thanks in advance

You bet!

Up to date eveything

Thanks, it's version 3.0.1 by factory actually and I made sure to get copies of the crypto-keys, NAND and all, before anything was touched. I'm charging the poor thing now, but with the help I got here setup should be a piece of cake.

do not let your spirit down, you are going by good path, do not forget to go to sigpatches https://gbatemp.net/threads/sigpatches-for-atmosphere-hekate-fss0-fusee-package3.571543/ thread.

Lol who's letting their spirit down?

I kinda did but I didn’t mean to. Won’t happen again.
