So, I began homebrewing my Switch way back in January 2019. AutoRCM'd it and it began at 2.1.0, including backing it up so that it could always be reverted to its "launch" state at any time. When I first updated it, I used something that was not the vanilla update server to bring it up to 6.2.0. I backed it up again in accordance with who helped me, saying it is wise to backup after every major update. After that, I fiddled around with it and called it a day since the Switch homebrew scene was practically dead at that point.
Enter the present time. I took a long break from homebrewing my Switch. Last major changes I made to it altogether were during the early days of Switch homebrew, but I wanted to update things since I caught wind of all the big changes the Switch underwent since three years ago and wanted to see what it could do now. Naturally, I had to catch up on things. The first major thing I have done to it so far is change Atmosphere to the newest version, since I was informed to do so before updating. Same with Hekate.
= Actual Problem =
My issue now is if my memory is giving me the wrong help at the moment. I believe someone said if you update your Switch, you are supposed to do it one update at a time. Meaning, I would go to 6.2.0, 7.0.1, 8.1.0, etc. I want to jump all the way to 14.1.2 because I wanted to try the newer software that requires it. I am unsure if it would be unsafe to just use a 14.1.2 firmware with Daybreak and call it a day, going straight to it from 6.2.0. Or if I should just go up one at a time. I also forgot how to backup my NAND since it has been a while, but it is something I should most likely do after I update it.
I would appreciate all the help I can get.
