    I did this upgrade because my browser was out of date but could not update it because the OS was too old and had an annoying "your clock is ahead" problem that prevented me from accessing certain web pages. This worked flawlessly on my Mac. Definitely recommend upgrading SSD and RAM prior to this, just like you suggested. And it fixed the clock problem, which I honestly did not expect 😊

Your video on Monterey taught me how to do it and it was very useful for when I did it on the iMac.

    • @slythespacecat
      @slythespacecat Před rokem +2

      @@Kmjcru hello there! I'm still running Ventura at latest version. I might recommend Monterrey tho
      Ventura runs fine, the new features i've tested all work, but when i push the laptop hard it can get pretty hot (maybe hotter than before, not sure)
      I also had to use the equivalent of task manager on 2 occasions, which i dont remember ever having to do on Catalina
      I've read people in the same situation as me rolling down to Monterrey, and they say it works smoother and snappier. I was going to do that, but downgrading is more complicated than upgrading (needs a drive wipe) and i didn't want to go through that process. So i decided to keep Ventura for now
      So in short: It still runs decent. Should be noted i usually have node (virtual server) running for web dev (even now, as i'm typing this comment, i'm just browsing YT but still have the server running). In addition to node, i have 16tabs opened on Brave (3 from YT). I will sometimes also open Photoshop and/or Illustrator while everything else is running. These are all heavy on their own, and adding them up it's understandable why i've had to use the task manager ahahaha
      So if you want an upgrade to run macOS as smooth and snappier as possible, get Monterrey (exact same process as this video, just need to select a different version on Open Patch macOS Installer). If you want the latest Ventura and don't plan on overloading like i do... I don't see why not. All in all, i am truly happy with Ventura, the only 2 times it crashed was because i was pushing it WAY too hard and i knew it...
      Hope this was helpful! Best!

    Great instruction. Thanks
    My aunt passed away couple of months ago and a week ago I found this same Macbook Pro at her storage. SEALED IN THE BOX.
    Of course it's the stock config w/ the slow ass spinning drive and 4GB(!!) of RAM. Put in a spare SSD taken out from my spare parts bin, and paid $25 for 16GB RAM. I was going to just run Catalina but found out all the apps even the basic stuff like the iWork suite is no longer available for the old OS. Hardware is still quite usable but the limit of the OS (that cuts off all access to apps) pretty much renders the whole machine useless, unless I have to try this Ventura installation hack.
    I am using the version 0.67 and there's some slight difference to the version of OpenCore you used in the video but it wasn't too much of a problem.
    The machines runs fine as long as you know its limitation. Final Cut runs surprisingly okay. Tried a two-layer quick cut at 4K. Does work but don't push it too much. Totally fine as a file transfer and footage review machine. For total of $25 spent I can't really complain.

It appears to run a bit hotter than when I was running Mojave and Catalina, with the fan running at about 2500rpm when photo editing instead of the base 2000. All the ports work fine, Firewire is great, thunderbolt 1 and displayport are great also. I bought this MBP new in 2012 and it has many thousands of hours on it, using browsers, photo editing apps, etc (I'm a full time freelance photographer). I love this machine!

    Fantastic Video! I have an early 2013 MacBook Pro, with an SSD but only 8GB RAM. (Upgrade to 16GB was just too difficult and involved soldering) - Decided to go without it the upgrade. Installation went well and Ventura operates without issue. Thanks Eevnos!

Do i not format my current SSD and just load Ventura over the top of the existing data & apps? Thanks
