DISCLAIMER: Please understand that installing macOS Ventura on your unsupported Mac is a best effort by the community. A ton of work went into getting the patcher to work! Some things might not work exactly right but it's really really close. I would not recommend installing on a system that you rely on for work or school. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES FIRST BEFORE YOU UPGRADE! The good news is that you are getting the latest security fixes from Apple. Some might argue that upgrading to Patched Ventura makes your Mac safer since Apple is no longer fixing security issues on 10.15 and below. - Věda a technologie
![Big Sur on older Macs [2008-2013] ULTIMATE GUIDE! OpenCore Legacy Patcher for Unsupported Macs](/img/n.gif)
This tutorial is so amazing! I've just installed Ventura on my 2011 iMac. I'm amazed that there is still life left in this old machine after so many years. Back in about 2016 it killed the graphics card and I took it to the Apple shop for help. They were not interested and told me to dump it and buy a new one. They said it would cost around GBP700 to replace the graphics card. So I gave up on the machine, but I did not throw it away. It remained in my garage in its box for the next 3 years. Then about three years ago I decided to take matters into my own hands and fix it myself. I bought a used graphics card from eBay and it worked for about six months and then died again. So I then bought a new graphics card from China for around $200 and that card has been working for about two years now. Then I faced Apple's obsoletion of the machine. I tried a hack to upgrade it to Big Sur a few years back but it kept on crashing, so I went back to High Siera. Until today when I decided to do more research about upgrading and then I found this video! Thank you!!
this might be the best, most organized and planned out computer tutorial I've ever watched. Thanks for making it so clear.
amazing work, watched both your tutorials on monterey and ventura and gotta say splendid just splendid. made an upgrade from monterey to ventura and all works flawlessly. God bless
Fantastic. I upgraded my mid-2012 retina 15" laptop from Catalina to Ventura without a hitch! Thanks so much. 🙂
Just upgraded my work 2014 Pro to Ventura 13.6.3 with the latest oclp 1.3 and worked first time. The pace of your videos is perfect with you covering everything, awesome work Mr. Mac and thank you.
The update went very smooth with your step-by-step video. Just updated my early 2011 (earlier updated with 500 gb ssd and 16 gb RAM) macbook pro with Ventura. Many thanks for this excellent video!
Previously used opencore to upgrade mid-2014 MacBook Pro to Mojave. Decided to try Ventura with the GUI version of OpenCore (0.6.8) using your video as a guide. Very concise instruction with helpful tips, no useless info. It took several tries to get an EFI that would boot, I don’t know what the problem was. Once that happened, Ventura installed but I had to run the root patcher to get the graphics and mouse working right. The unsupported MacBook is now running Ventura 13.6, which is a later version than my supported iMac (13.5.1). Thank you!
I did a fresh install on a 2015 MBP and it works a treat. Thanks for the tutorial.
Excellent: Mac min 2012 i7 (“server”), Catalina to Ventura 13.6 exactly as described, working perfectly (touch wood) with no subjective slowdown. Chose the upgrade path, so far no glitches. Excellent content, thank you
Success! Just updated my mid-2012 MBP 13" with upgraded 16GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. Did the erase and fresh install method and it runs like a champ with Ventura. Can now run the latest version of Logic Pro X. Many thanks!!
Simply Amazing Tutorial! I am a nerd who loves technology, and my 2012 Rock Solid Macbook Pro that has an SSD and 16GB of Ram. I followed all of your excellent and clear instructions and one of my favorite devices has a new life. Thanks again for the tutorial and to the inccredible OpenCore Legacy Patcher team.
Oh man, you are truly amazing...I followed all your instructions and it worked very well with my MacBook Pro 2012. Thank you very much for all the work you have done. You are really very helpful. More power to you dear Brother and God bless!
This worked 100% without issues on my mid 2014 Macbook Pro Retina. THANK YOU!
Successfully installed the MacOS Ventura on my MacBook Pro 2016. Thanks alot for all of your guidance. Means alot.
Thanks Mr. Macintosh for all your hard work putting these videos together and including the contributors of this great piece of software!
Thank you @Noemivangom 👍
Thanks! Looking forward to many more OCLPs installs and updates!!!
Thank you for the great tutorial. I followed your step by step instructions to update our 2015 iMac that was running Sierra. Only one hiccup, but a shutdown/restart solved my issue. Thanks again Mr McIntosh!!!
I love my 2014 iMac with its beautiful 27" display and was gutted when it fell off the Apple Supported list. But I figured that I just had to live with OS 11 until I bought my next desktop. That is until I stumbled across OCLP and your excellent tutorial. Thank you so much!!
The process was long (very slow data connection here in the English countryside) but it went smoothly thanks to your tutoring at every single step. I am delighted with my new functionality - and so pleased that there is a pathway for future releases. This team has thought of everything.
Have been exercising my machine for most of the day and so far ... everything is working and no issues with the work rate. Have subscribed to your channel and look forward to staying in touch and up to date.
Best wishes, Humphrey
Humphrey, thank you for the very kind words! I'm glad everything worked well on your 2014 iMac! Keep it running as it is still a great computer 👍
one month check-up time: hows your laptop holding up? im really wanting to do this but i want to verify its viable long term
I have probably the same model as you, I actually updated mine to Monterey and now Im gonna gonna upgrade to Ventura, this will be interesting.
@@cheesehead9980 Sorry I didn’t reply earlier. But just to let you know that as of today (4 months later) I have had zero issues with Ventura on my unsupported 2014 iMac. I have even used OCLP to update it to 13.6.3 with no problems. I will update it to OS14 once I get my faster data connection in February.
@@hcgervaisI recommend not to upgrade to Sonoma or os 14 it has many bugs and issues stick to Ventura, very much the same but better in my perspective.
I downloaded Sonoma but now I'm searching for a downgrade😅

Hi, thank you so much for your helpful video. My MPB 6.1 mid 2010 17inch 8gb Ram 2To SSD is running now with Ventura 13.5.2. It's fantastic !
This was a great video . Worked on my late 2013 imac 27 inch. Thanks for a great step by step video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks again for putting the effort in this updated tutorial. The previous tutorials have been of great help! And thanks to the guys at OCLP of course! Running MacOS Ventura on a 2017 MacBook Air, 2012 MacBook Pro and even a 2009 iMac :)
Glad to help @juicythedj750 !!! Keep those Macs running 👍
How well does Ventura run on your iMac? I have a late 2009 21.5" iMac that I just bumped up to 480Gb SSD and 16Gbs of RAM, and just spent all morning getting Big Sur on it. It seems to run pretty well, though I haven't pushed multiple apps much to try to keep the load off. If Ventura runs OK on it I might take the jump. The Nvidia 9400 GPU does give me pause though... not to mention the Core 2 Duo.
@@damoninlr I went with Ventura for compatibility, but sometimes I wish I could stick with an older OS as it really starts to feel at its limits. I use it mainly for emails, webbrowsing and checking electrical schematics at my work desk. The only issues are minor graphic glitches because of the non Metal GPU. I'd suggest just making a backup and giving it a try yourself though :)
Hi, thanks for all the videos. I got previous versions working on a 2009 pro.
I'm stuk on this installer now with the USB 2.0 issue. I plugged in a USB mouse into the laptop, but doesn't work. Can you explain exactly what I need to control the mouse and keyboard?
@@juicythedj750 as many times as I've had to reload this poor machine, maybe I'll just give it a rest for a little while. :D If I were going to rate BS for performance on this machine, it'd probably be 7.5 out of 10. Not bad for a 14 year old rig.
Hello, I have just updated my MacBook Air 2017 from Monterey to Ventura and everything seems to work perfectly. Thank you very much for the video, I will for sure donate to you guys as you have saved me from buying newer MacBook just because of the MacOS update. Great job!
The description says that this is for Mac models up to 2016 ... is it working good for you still ?
Thank you so much!!!! This worked for us and we truly appreciate the effort to put this together. You were great!!
Great explanation! Brilliant tutorial! Everything is clear and informative!) Thank you Mr. Macintosh)
Thank you very much @user-eq1er5lh3d !
Thanks for this tutorial. I am now happy that loading Chrome and Edge browsers on my MacBook Pro 15" 2016 start as quickly as Safari with the latest 0.6.8 OCP. It has been painfully slow loading them (30secs) from about 0.6.0 version. Whatever it was, I am glad it now works perfectly with Ventura 3.5. Thanks for your great videos!!
Excellent tutorial Mr Mac. Just installed Ventura on my 2010 MacPro without any issue. Thanks very much.
This is without doubt on of the best tutorials I have seen. I did look at OCLP in the past. My first attempt then failed. Today I looked at it again and was able to upgrade from Catalina on my Macbook Pro 13 inch, Mid 2012 to Big Sur 11.7.1 and run the update to 11.7.9. When I’m don with running all the updates of outdated apps I’m going to try to install Ventura, this will get me in line with our other mac’s in the house. Thanks for this great tutorial.
Thank you very much @MiDiCur !!! It is comments like this that keep me creating walkthrough videos
Thanks for the great walkthrough. Running OCLP with Ventura on an early 2015 MBP with no problems
Mr. Macintosh videos: OCLP upgrades made understandable and therefore easy to follow. Another great video, thank you!
Thank you @mvrck-pb5pk 👍
@@Mr.Macintosh YMW!
Thank you for taking your time and explaining everything with simple details and video. Thank you so much!
Excellent video. Very easy step by step and great explanation. Brilliant.
Thanks so much for all the helpful videos, time and effort that you put in to them! I haven't been able to find if you've done a video addressing the security of OCLP, specifically on the latest version of OCLP and if all macs (even those requiring post-install patches) are benefitting from FileVault, SIP, Secure Boot, Vaulting, etc. Thanks again for your great work!
Hello @CosmicHiccup11 great point. The OCLP devs are always trying to find ways to use Apple's native security pieces. For example enabling AMFI was a big deal and the devs were able to do it. I recommend a firmware password and FileVault encryption for data security. Even though OCLP has to reduce some of the security to re enable apple drivers for our old hardware, it could be argued that Ventura is safer compared to high Sierra which has not received an Apple security update in years and is left fully vulnerable.
27" iMac 10,1 - Late 2009, 8GB RAM - Working perfectly! Freaking amazing Open Core team. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So happy right now! 🤗😘
I have the same model. Im going to try this
Absolutely marvelous video. I successfully updated my aging iMac mid 2011 to Ventura this morning.
!!! THANK YOU !!!!
Most amazing tutorial, I have upgrade my MBPr 2012 easily, no issue at all! many thanks, everything is working great!
Thanks my old 2014 iMac work like a drum machine now! I’ve made a donation, thanks ❤
Great job with this tutorial, I really like that dual boot disc, wish I knew this originally. Appreciate your videos.
@mfh9780 Thanks! I wanted to put it in with previous videos but thought it would make the whole thing too long, but after seeing a few people struggle to put the original OS back on when something went wrong I thought it was worth it
Great tutorial, thank you so much for this--my Late 2013 15in MacBook Pro is running absolutely fine under Ventura now😃
Fantastic tutorial, worked a treat on my late 2012 27" iMac 3.4 GH` Quad-Core Intel Core i7. Much obliged to you, thanks.
Running now on MacBook Pro mid 2015, thanks for all your hard work!
Wow!! Incredible guidance video, thankyou thankyou!! I have a 2012 Mac mini rocking Ventura now, it’s totally a thrilling experience, able to get some software within reach because of this upgrade!
Worked perfectly on my 2013 MacBook Pro! Totally awesome work! Thanks so much!
Thank you, this worked well on my late 2013 27 iMac i7. So pleased with the outcome.
Thank you for this video fr.. took me about a day to fully install but worth it now my 2012 iMac runs smooth n can get the latest version of apps.
Thank you!!! Macbook Pro 2015 15 inch with Ventura installed. Excellent tutorial!!!!
Thank you!!!!!! After a few hurdles I was able to get Ventura in 3 different computers!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Install worked amazing on my $75 2014 Mac mini I just received with the NVMe adapter.
Installed on the NVMe and left the original boot drive in tact so I can bail back to Mojave if I want.
Thanks for your video!
Thank you! Perfect guide and working perfectly on my 2015 Macbook Air. Im a PC by default but getting to like MacOS more and more.
You are awesome Dude! Great vid's so thorough and understandable, Thanks
Thanks a lot!! I was all set to purchase a new one from the marketplace but you made my day .. THANKS A LOT
It worked flawlessly thanks!
I updated my 2 iMAC (Mid 2012 and Late 2012) to Ventura. Thank you so much!!!
Never mind my last comment. I went b ack and re-watch your video and solved my own problem. Great videos, keep them coming!!
Thank you so much and the devs, it worked on my late 2011 iMac.❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I installed Ventura on a 21.5” mid 2010 iMac and it works incredibly well! It will also be for the i5 680 CPU but I didn’t expect such high performance. The only note is a tendency to overheat in some situations, probably because the OS is designed for more modern CPUs and there is no scruple to use them. However, it has never exceeded 65 degrees and I imagine that a change of conductive paste on 13-year-old CPU and GPU would be beneficial but it is a complex and dangerous job for the myriad of connecters to manipulate. After all, it’s about holding out until the new iMacs with M3 CPUs come out 😉
great thing to do is to change thermal paste to some good stuff like Grizzly and try to install software to control fans
You're an incredible resource.
From Catalina to Ventura iMac Late 2012. I am so happy thank you so much!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much,
I have 27 inch Imac late 2013 model, and No updates coming for it now, My adobe required me to update to ventura to get updates for softwares and I thought My imac will be only used for netflix now but I came accross your video and followed the steps and It went like smooth and no issues, updated my adobe package and everything like new system
Thanks so much again.
great tip building a dual boot USB installer!
Perfect tutorial. With this I updated my Mid 2014 MacBook 16GB RAM to Ventura. And what actually shouldn't be possible, but I have the impression that the computer runs a little faster...
Just upgraded my 2011 mid imac from High Sierra to Ventura. Great guide! The process took almost 5 hours, but the machine runs flawless.
I tried doing the same thing, but I’m getting Wi-Fi errors. My Wi-Fi is not working.
@@MiguelMedina-wb4ohI’ve got the same problem too. Please share if you find a silt
@@ademolaemmanuel5588dunno, i just followed the instructions was shown in the video. Everything works fine.
@@MiguelMedina-wb4oh I got the same issue too
Thanks, all done and running well, cheers mate.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I Installed Ventura on aMac Book Air early 2015 an i works verry well
Thanks again @ Mr. Macintosh for this content
followed your guide again on my MBP 13" Late 2011 and works smoothly.
Thanks for this video. It took me 3 tries but I finally got it done. I have a mid 2011 iMac and could not update past High Sierra. Some advice, make sure your old OS is in good shape. Maybe do a clean install of the current OS before you start. Then, make sure you do a clean install of Ventura (erase the current HD) and then install. Finally, have a wired USB keyboard and mouse ready to go in case the install does not recognize your Apple Bluetooth keyboard. May not need it but better to be safe than sorry. Then GO!
Wow I can't thank you enough for this easy to follow video. I have a Mid 2010 27” imac that I loved and stopped using it a couple of years ago when it ceased being functional for my work. I had casually looked at repurposing it every so often but not to be and it was now time for me to relegate it to the computer graveyard…..then I stumbled across your video (thank you youtube for your eclectic algorithm), Why not give it a go. After a couple of hiccups which were completely user errors I now have a fully functional upgrade to Ventura. Amazing… with my 16G of ram it is almost as quick as my current 2020 smaller imac. I still have to figure out some minor connection issues with share and airdrop to my ipad but its amazing.
Just a quick update that might be of interest to owners of these older macs. Macs pre 2011 do not have blue tooth capabilities so I have ordered a bluetooth dongle to see if that will get the airdrop function working. Any thoughts or tips much appreciated
Thanks!!🙌 I can confirm a wired Mac keyboard dated 2015 on the back will also work against the issue for the 5.1 Mac Pro from mid 2010. A wired keyboard and usb mouse plugged into the Mac keyboard worked fine. My installation worked fine but was super slow, possibly due to being an older machine? (Xeon 3.46ghz 6 core and 32gb ram at 1333mhz) but also my usb stick took the whole evening to get open core installed onto it, no idea why as it is a 64gb branded usb but hey hi, it worked in the end!! Thanks so much for such a detailed and yet simplified video!
Excellent work dude!
Hey man, thanks so much doing this. I followed you step by step and was able to install Ventura on my early 2013 MacBook Pro retina. It took me a little over 3 hours with all the downloads but that’s just my bad internet. I have it running and it’s working so smoothly. So far I haven’t encountered any issues yet. Thanks man, you have my respect for doing this.
How is the battery and the performance versus the big Sur?
This works so well and so easy. Thankyou so much
Thanks for the guide. It worked great.
Top shelf. Flawless. Down-to-earth. Thank you. Cheers, all the best!
Thank you very much! Finally I got my mac mini late 2014 to run on macOS Ventura.
You bet! I'm glad you are keeping that 2014 Mini going!!!
thanks so much! it worked on my late 2011 mac, it's got 1 tb and 16 gbs of ram and it runs great. there were some issues on my end but thanks to this tutorial i got it all worked out!!!!
I sucessfuly installed ventura on MBP 2015. Works great. Thanks.
thanks to you and the creators. amazing stuff
Thank you for the explanation
Thanks for the tut bro, Currently trying to install Ventura on my old 2015 air for fun
Mid 2014 15-inch Macbook Pro with Intel Iris Pro graphics, Ventura 13.6 works fine, thanks for this tutorial!
Thank you so much. excellent explanation of process. Im really enjoying fixing up old Macs! Typing this on an iMac 2011 quad core 2.5 running Sonoma! I was going to trash it. Now I use for work!
i've got a late 2011 macbook pro that really got me into the ecosystem. Was running on catalina without airdrop/airplay, so many apps don't work properly... gonna try the upgrade to monetery. This tutorial is amazing i hope this works when i go for it tomorrow
Thank you, worked perfectly!
My MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), worked! I thought I needed to buy a new Mac. Thanks for giving my MacBook another life!
This is great to hear @axelthech355player !!! I'm glad everything worked well
Thank you, it helped me a lot.
I've just installed it in an iMac from 2011 with an AMD Radeon HD 6760M and it's working great! Your guide was very easy to follow. Thank you very much! 😄🙏
I have the same iMac 2011 27" with same AMD Radeon HD 6770M. Did you upgrade from original graphic card ? Did you upgrade from Mac Os High Sierra ? Everything working smoothly ?
@@sko556What do you mean if I upgraded from the original GPU? This iMac had default hardware. I only added memory and an SSD.
I did not upgraded. In order to install Ventura with Opencore you need to do a fresh install. You can make a TimeMachine backup before formatting and then restore it back once you finish with the installation.
Btw, the opencore install pendrive you need to build will be compatible ONLY with the machine you used to build it. If you want to install opencore in a different mac with different specs, you need to create a new opencore install pendrive for that device.
@@S1L3nCe Thanks for your prompt sharing. You answers helped me a lot. I have read in the discord web site that they recommend graphic card upgrade for 2011 iMac before using open core to upgrade to Mac OS Big Sur, Monterrey or Ventura. I have already upgraded to SSD and added RAM but I didn’t know how to upgrade the graphic card so I am still learining. One question I want to ask is if air play and air drop and blue tooth still work for iMac 2011 after upgrading Mac Os using Open Core or do you have to upgrade Wi-Fi and blue tooth card ? You upgrade Mac OS from High Sierra to Ventura successfully and everything is working very well ?
@@sko556 I did not upgraded the GPU. I'm still using the AMD that came with the system. And, like I said, I did not upgraded from High Sierra. I created the opencore pendrive Ventura Install from High Sierra but I formatted the SSD when installing Ventura, like it's explain in this video.
Regarding bluetooth, I have not used it so I'm not sure if it works well. But the Wifi works well.
@@S1L3nCe Thanks for the reply. I think you upgraded from high Sierra to Ventura using USB drive and open core because such a long jump upgrade in OS cannot be done without USB and open core patcher. Even upgrade from Monterey to Ventura or Big Sur to Monterey need to use USB drive and open core patcher. Any way, I will review the videos when I am free and will decide on whether to do upgrade without graphic and wifi-blue tooth upgrade. I will try to take Mr. Macintosh also, hopefully he reply.
Thanks Mr. Macintosh. Process worked perfectly on an iMac 13,1 that I received from a client. Now running Ventura and am able to test all the latest software (Microsoft 365, etc.). Trying to determine if I will be switching from a Windows PC for daily driver to a future new Mac Mini or Mac Studio. Appreciate the share!
you, sir, are a gem, I'm much to tired tired tonight. but I will rest easy knowing I can get iMovie and garage on my new old MacBook.
Thank you for posting this video! Super user friendly, amazing instructions, and excellent detailed explanations. The amount of work and literature prep that you have done for this video is outstanding!!! Followed everything in your video and I was able to install OSX Ventura on my Early 2011 MBP i5 8gb ram, 512 gb SSD, and basic intel HD Graphic 3000 512 MB. Thank you for bring my computer back to life again :D The external Keyboard was not an issue at all for me in case anyone was wondering. I don't feel there is any lag, feels the same as it did on High Sierra to me. Also switching to Mozilla. I chrome is more laggy. Thank you so much for great upload.
Wonderful! I'm glad he install worked out well for you 👍
@@Mr.Macintosh Hey! I tried this again on a different computer early 2011, MBP i7 16GB ram, and a brand new SSD 512GB. But now i am getting an error "An internal error occured copying the installer to the target". I followed every step again and tried 3 times. Same error each time. The log says "Unable to get fs for /Volumes/machintosh hd/macos Install data/updatebundle/assetdata/restore/basesystem.dmg. If you could guide me with this, i would really appreciate it. Thanks
@@bhupendramahawar9010Hey did he reply to you..I have the exact same model and configuration, when I try to boot natively...it doesn't respond, unless I boot from the external. I did EVERYTHING he said to do in this tutorial..MULTIPLE TIMES..still have the same problems..won't boot without the external HD...is there a solution, or am I stuck with a paper weight ?
this is a really good video i was able to do this without watching the video 2 times and sometimes i just watch it for fun because its good quality
i also like how his external drive is like 4 times bigger then his internal drive tells something about apple
Thanks a lot, works fine upgrading my Mac Pro (4,1 to 5,1) from Mojave to Ventura. (nvme 2TB SSD) Will be trying my Macbook pro 2011 8,1 (Currently running High Sierra) next.
Your vids are amazing so decided to take the plunge. I have a spotless mid 2014 Macbook Pro with High Sierra (HS) and followed your instructions to the letter. Using OCLP 0.6.8 the install of Ventura went like clockwork with no updates required. Great.. until I noticed my battery on Ventura was only lasting half the time compared to HS, added to this the keyboard was always warm and it did not go into sleep mode when the lid was closed. No worries it was a fun experiment and I decide to go back to High Sierra. Unfortunately getting back to HS was a bit tortuous as I encountered problems trying to reset the Internal storage. I tried the OCLP install then the original HS install versions of disc Utility to try and erase the main drive. Each time after HS was reinstalled the OS disc utility showed up strange partitions. During bootup the screen was black for up to minute before the Apple logo appeared compared to the usual 5 or 6 seconds as if in some sort of recovery mode. Sorry to be this guy but since Catalina onwards sets up the internal Drive differently and with the added complication of the OCLP partition a simple top level erase just didn't work for me. I think you need to find other volumes or groups and erase them first before you do the main erase? Anyway the way I got round it was I eventally got my laptop into Internet recovery to upload it's origional OS which was Yosemite then up graded to High Sierra and in doing so this properly reset the Drive. I think it would be good to show the proper way to reset the Internal Storage before reinstalling a pre Catalina OS if the simple top level erase doesn't quite work. Of course I may just have made an error. Best Jim.
This is amazing, it runs pretty good on my macbook pro 2015!
Thank you bro you’re great!!
What an excellent job! Thanks man
Awesome tutorial, best software patch for iOS upgrades. 🙏🙏🙏thank you.
Thanks so much for the updated video. Everything went as instructed along with updating to 13.5.1.
Macbook Air 2012, i7, 8gig Ram, 1TB HD (OWC upgrade)
Runs smooth but wish there was a way to self-upgrade the Ram as I'm sure 16gigs would run smoother.
Your voice is quite similar to Bryan Tracy's Very very clear and precise! Thank you very much for such detailed work! Bravo!
Thank you🎉🎉🎉I made it on my iMac 11
I followed this Tutorial to install Monterey 12.7.4 on my Late 2013 Macbook Pro 13 Inch Retina with 8MB RAM 1TB SSD storage. This procedure upgraded MacOS Big Sur perfectly. I used OCLP 1.4.3 to accomplish the MacOS upgrade. The only issue I ran into was after about 10-15 minutes of checking the operation after completing the procedure was I received a Popup informing me There was a Hash mismatch on the drive and I needed to reinstall MacOS. I have had zero issues with anything so far after a day of extensive testing. I even installed updated Safari 17.4.1 successfully. As I discovered, it may have something to do with resetting the SMC according to Apple Support. I am waiting to see if the Popup reappears before performing resetting the SMC. I used this tutorial instead of the Monterey one because I understood this better and the OCLP interface was closer to what I used. Thank you for providing such a helpful tutorial to extend the use of perfectly serviceable older, not Apple supported Macs with Apple supported MacOS.
Thank you so much! It worked perfectly (from High Sierra to Ventura), I have a late 2012 Imac, 3,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 GB, 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, APPLE SSD SM128E 1TB
I have exactly the same machine. Except for a Fusion Drive. It worked perfect with OCLP and Monterrey, but I’m considering updating to Ventura. How is your experience by now?
I had some performance issues @DreamboyCAT when I upgraded the OSX on top of Big Sur (which was on top of High Sierra). Then I performed a clean install (High Sierra was ages ago, lot of downloads en installs).
Now everything works really great. The system works smooth and fast. Little dissapointed in Apple though; these machines will do for years!
