This is a n excellent guide. Thank you for taking the time to make it insightful but pretty simple for beginners. EVERYONE who needs to install an OS on an unsupported Mac should watch this. Waiting on news to see how the guys hopefully find a workaround for Ventura and the cheesegrater. and YES YES YES a live session will be awesome
Thank you to the Hackintosh developers and the Hackintosh community for making this possible over the years. Opencore was first developed for Hackintosh. Later for real Macs, too. Without Hackintosh on Intel PC and AMD PC - no Opencore. This is the state of affairs! Best regards from my Hackintosh
Jessie...15:17 literally saved me from throwing my cMP into the Chesapeake Bay! I have been wracking my brains trying to get the Hardware Acceleration to work on this cMP. I gave up on my old Nvidia Quadros and upgraded to an AMC Radeon (Pixlas Mod) 6900XT and while faster and stronger, still, no HWA for H264, but yes for HEVC. And I could never get my DRM content to play, so I lived with it for a very long time. The last several hours I played with the new OCLP and tried some settings, even adjusted my spoof level to none and bricked my installation. I had to start all over. So after getting back up with Monterey 12.6.6, I started looking into Martin Lo's OCP to solve this issue. and sure enough, nothing worked. Nothing against them, I was trying to "cross pollinate" MLOCP with OCLP. It just doesn't work. After leaving the Mac Rumor forums, I'd just about given up for the night. I watched a great video from Joerg Hennignes of Open Core, and his great great videos on using MLOCP, and I was preparing to do a full MLOCP, already missing my wonderful experience with the OCLP, and then...I saw this guide up next on the YT queue Jessie's Flying for Unsupported Macs with Monterey & Ventura - Ultimate Tutorial and I landed on 15:17. It was too good to be true. I said, well, why not. I had just given up for the night, but rebooted my cMP, and tried 'Revert Root Patches'. Well, wouldn't you know it. It worked!!! I now have H264 and HEVC Hardware Acceleration and FINALLY DRM content that actually works! So Jessie, keep flying, my friend! Thank you very much for your work and making my night, and my work day tomorrow, even better! All the best to you and yours! God Bless! ~ MJ
I’ve been watching your channel for a while now. Yesterday I finally upgraded my Mac Pro 5,1 from Mojave (RX580) to Monterey with OCLP 1.2.1 and it was a joy. Took quite some time but all went well. Thank you so much for the detailed guides, and great advices on the channel 🙏💪🔥
This is THE BEST video so far I've seen around this topic (and I've seen plenty, gone into the rabbit hole of mac forums). ALL my questions and doubts were answered, like if you were reading my mind! 🤯. The only question I would have is sometimes when I'm on the bootloader menu and click on EFI, it doesn't "enter" to the "sub-menu" where the installer is, it just shows again the whole bootloader menu. Any idea in what would be happening? I have saved this video already and FOR SURE will come back again and use it as my Bible. Again, THANKS SO MUCH for putting this video!! 🙌🏼
Thank you for your kind words - that means a lot to me! Sharing is appreciated ;-) But I never heard about your error that OpenCore doesn't load when you click on EFI Boot. Maybe do a NRAM reset and see if that happens again...
@@JessiesFlying I did all the process as you describe in this video, and after weeks (literally) of searching everywhere, trying everything, now my Mac Pro 5.1 is running the latest version of Monterey! 🙌🏼 Everything's working perfectly (so far). Just two quick questions. I checked on System Report that SIP is disabled (I used the "lowered" option when creating the boot as you mentioned), so my question is if I should enable it back and if I should do it on terminal on recovery mode or if there's a way to do it through OCLP? Another quick question, do you know why if I have two monitors connected to a Radeon RX 560 (DVI & HDMI) I can't see the boot loader menu, but if I have just one connected (DVI) I can see it? 🤔 Thanks again for everything! I'm following you know for your brilliantly simple but powerful advice!
@@javmb you have to enable SIP in the settings of the OpenCore Legacy patcher and reinstall it to your boot disk, otherwise if you enable it via terminal it will automatically being disabled next boot again. When your Mac boots try pressing arrow left and right, this should disable the automatic selection of your macOS and show the OpenCore Boot selector (it’s normally just because it waits only 1 second and your screen doesn’t show it). 👍🚀
I watched a handful of videos before this that were WAY too much information. This presentation is the most straightforward and to the point while still offering the necessary information. Thank you.
So delighted to come across this channel. I have been stuck on the floor with my 5,1 Mac Pro trying to get it to start. Now I know why I could not do it. Great channel.
This is an important video, and I thank you for it, but I do need make one correction. If I understood you correctly, you said that RAM cannot be upgraded on a 2010 Mac mini. Actually there is socketed RAM on all Mac minis, other than the 2014 and the M1. Specifically with the 2010 through 2012 Minis, the upgrade is very easy, and the machines can address as much as 16 GB.
You’re right, I was not clear enough in my video: Apple didn’t plan that you change the RAM and it needs a little bit of technical knowledge, but it is possible!
I installed Monterey on a 2011 21.5 iMac two days ago and I'm a first timer Mac user and I'm impressed, if I would try to install win10 or 11 on a 10 year old pc that wouldn't even boot😆 I do a lot off CAD in work and I do a lot of it home as well for 3D printing so I needed a "new" all in one computer in my garage that could handle it and the iMac was so cheap that I thought why not test it and so far it have handle everything very well☺️ I do most off my Cads on my new iPad but it have always bean a hassle to get the files to the pc for slicing but not now☺️
@@JessiesFlying yeah,I don't know why it took so long to get a Mac😂 I've bean using windows since win3.11😆 I have "everything" els from apple so😆 but shouldn't the iMac snap up if I play a song or so on my iPhone like my iPad dose?🤔 Apple Music? Apple TV+ doesn't work but I guess it's because I have the ATI 6750m gpu
I want you to know. I was stuck on the upgrade. Your video was able to help me work around so I could upgrade Ventura with my late 2014 Macbook Pro 15". It seems to be working fine. many thanks!!
Hi Jessie, great video! I have 3 questions for you (sorry for the length, but I would like to understand well): I have a Mac pro 5.1 (mid 2010) with Mojave on ssd disk named “PRINCIPLE” and a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 4Gb (not flashed, so without boot screen). I installed a new ssd DISK named “SECOND” into the Mac (cleaned and inizialized as Mac Os journaled, where I want to install Monterey). Then I have a 16Gb pendrive (chapter 3 of your video) Here’s my questions: 1) when the pendrive creation is finished, do I have to install the OpenCore bootloader into the pendrive OR into the ssd disk named “SECOND”? Because I think that, if I install into the pendrive, then I have to keep inserted forever... 2) Then I’ll proceed to Build and install OpenCore on ssd disk “SECOND” (chapter 2 of your video). Then instead of rebooting the system, I would shut it down, remove the system hard disk “PRINCIPLE” (so only the "SECOND" disk and the pendrive would remain connected) and boot the system WITHOUT pressing ALT. Do you think this would work, considering that with my video card I can't see the boot "? 3) If everything works, can I create a Time Machine Image so I can recovery it (in the future) without repeating the whole procedure all over again? Thank you very much!
Install the OpenCore onto the USB and boot from it. After installing macOS from the USB onto SECOND you just start the legacy patcher again and install it onto the SECOND, then you don’t need the USB for booting anymore. When you only boot with USB and empty SSD, it should boot OpenCore from USB automatically… Time Machine Backups will work, but make sure you always update OpenCore before updating macOs
Hey I was asking about since I have upgraded to Monterey or bigsur or Catalina my wifi card doesn’t work I mean it works but it doesn’t connect to any networks and when I try to connect to any network it says it was unable to I was using macOS Monterey 12.2 my Mac is a mid 2009 MacBook Pro and an early 2009 iMac and for the oclp I always use the latest version any help would be appreciated
For a few months i installed Monterey with OCLP on my 2010 iMac 27 inch. There were a few programs that didn’t work. Maps, garageband, Memoji’s and a few other things did not work. Now i installed an already flashed k2100m 2gb videocard and had troubles again. After listening here to your tip about changing the videocard in the macPro and the option ‘revert the post install root patch’ my problem was solved. Just did that and than did the install root patch over and everything is fully working. After that i installed Ventura and it works flawlessly. Thank you very much again for your tips.❤
Thank you so very much. Because of your videos on how to install Mac OS Monterey on my old 2010 Mac Pro, I have been able to resurrect that old beast and keep using it. It has been my favorite computer for a long time, and I missed it when I was forced to upgrade my OS by some 3rd party app developer. The videos are wonderful. Thanks again!! 👍
Thanks a lot Jessie! I now can use my MacPro 4,1 (2009 ex 4,1) with OCLP 0.6.8 and Ventura 13.6 and it works perfect from a NVME-Drive and a Radeon RX 590 RX. USB-3-PCI is working, had to reset some rights on the other Harddrives, but bluetooth is working, Wifi is working, not a lot difference in speed coming from Catalina. Could also change the Icons in dock to my favorites and im really happy. Never could use Handoff, Airdrop and now I can use all the features from my watch also. Thanks for all the good advice and also the boot-trick with my PC-GPU. 🧡🙏🙌
Hello, I have an Mac Pro early 2008 and If I do this, will my data and music software be deleted or I ll be able to use everything as I use now on El Capitan??
I struggled to update or upgrade my iMac for many many years because of Apple's obsoletism. Now this is the real ultimate tutorial that will make me stand on, my two feet and get into D.I.Y t and "beat up" Apple!!! Thanks.
Dankeschön, perfekte Anleitung, besser geht es nicht, ich bin begeistert, mein „altes MacBook Pro Late 2014“ auf Ventura geupdatet und danach das kleine Problem mit der Grafikkarte auch noch gelöst…..
Jesse ROXS. Yes I also jumped from Mojave to Monterey. Weird thing is I held down the option key down forever and never booted. Tried three times on restart and never boot the EFI boot screen. Then I just restarted without holding the option key and the darn EFI boot screet popped ??, anyhow thank you Jesse.
Brilliant and helpful video on how to give our brilliant but ageing Mac's a few more years of useful life. Otherwise have to convert them all to running Unix!
Great channel! Just installed Monterey 12.6 through OCLP on a heavily upgraded Mac Pro 5,1. Looks quite good. But, there's one major issue you can follow in the internet. Since Monterey 12.3, support for 10gb ethernet seems to be changed somehow. So, e.g. the common AQC chip series and others no longer work on a Mac Pro 5,1. And OCLP currently doesn't seem to provide a solution for that. 10gbe is quite common on upgraded older Mac Pros. A video on this topic and your findings would be great!!!
Great video Marcus and very easy to understand your explanations and instructions. I have a 2009 iMac which I upgraded last year using Dos-Dude Catalina tool, and assume I can now use Open Core to get me to Monterey and beyond -- thanks in advance for the help. Also a you-tube session sounds interesting to further the conversation of unsupported Macs.
Thanks for share. Sucess update my 2015 macbook 12" I need newest macOS to install newest xcode then I can continue my office xcode project(run at M2 Air) at home
Hello Jessie, wonderfully condensed with all info needed - straight to the point and very clear explanations. Appreciate for putting up so much time to help us people like me ! After following all your steps, I got the OS Ventura installed over OS Monterey and have 2 issues - Apple logo during the boot screen is abnormally huge like a real size apple - how to reduce it to its normal size? After log in, storeuid comes up every time - what is this? is it okay to get this or needs to be removed and How to?
8:44 min ff. The whole physical (external) drive will be used. If the HD, usb or ssd has partitions on it - they will be gone and used for the OCLP. I am quite sure that I picked the right "disk0s2", "disk1s1" or what it says when you be prompted to pick the disk for the installer. Maybe I´am wrong and the first thing is a backup anyhow, oder so ähnlich.
Hello, I would like you to make a video explaining how to install Windows 10 on a Mac Pro 5.1 through Ooen Core Legacy Patcher. Greetings and thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you, I have tried several times following the thread to which the official page refers and I have not been able to do it, I imagine that there will be many people to whom the same thing has happened.
THANK YOY VERY MUCH JESSIE, such great tutorial, BEST ONE EVER ON CZcams SO FAR, you made it so easy to the average computer guy! like not other! cant thank you enough, just subscribed an liked to your channel! ( been stuck trying to install Monterey for the last 2 weeks without success, until just a few minutes ago, now up and running smopthly, mac pro 2009. 5,1 one final question though; although it is not much of an issue, as you have explained very well, but when it comes to revert root patching (due to the fact i used the old original Graphics card to be able to see the boot up screen ) do I have to revert the root patching with the old card still in place or with the new graphics card am using now?? now lets say i did have reverted the root patching with the old card in , so when i do the reboot with the new card in place do I have to start all over and start root patching againg with the new card in?? something you did not mention and just wanted to make sure, thank you once again Jessie, watching all the way from Ecuador.
yes, best way is to not apply root patches with old GPU, swap new GPU in and then do root patches. if you have them already installed revert them, swap GPU and install them again
Very helpful video I just installed Big Sur on my mid 2009 MacBook Pro using OCLP and it’s working great. Devs have done an amazing job How can I check if need to remove root patch to confirm whether or not my hardware acceleration is on? It had the Nvidia 9400M graphics card
Too bad my 2012 15.4 Retina MacBook Pro is not supported by Ventura, almost tempted to click that upgrade button on my Mac good I watched your video 🙏🏻👍 thanks for sharing your wonderful expert incites on the macOS upgrades
@@JessiesFlying I want to do a uefi win 10 install on single nvme boot drive that already has high sierra and also monterey done via OCLP... is it Safe to install windows on the nvme as long as its booted Thru the opencore booter? does this prevent any certificate issues from corrupting bootrom? i want windows on that nvme and cant seem to get a legacy install possible unless i do it as UEFI... any help appreciated...the whole 4,1-5,1 bootrom corruption threads had me worried...I would think open core with secureboot option OFF should prevent this..what are ur thoughts?

I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for ur latest vids....Have you had any experience with martin lo's premade efi for the 5,1? supposedly, its all set ready to roll and has a Ton of extra perks added in including windows uefi install protection for bootrom against secure boot certificates... ive done the OCLP monterey on my 5,1 and monterey works incredibly good..

I've gotten my 5,1 macpro update to Monterey using your tips. But now my legit version of Final Cut Pro isn't working and I can't seem to update it without updating OS to 13.4 or higher
You would need an older version of Final Cut maybe… check out the procedure here with my iMac 2011: Does an UNSUPPORTED macOS make any sense? - Part 1: Vintage MACs czcams.com/video/vr3ub4Qq2Ds/video.html
Ah @ 14:21 there is the info on WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity I was hoping for. The Hashwell is a must for Ventura but not for Monterey then. MB pro 2012 not good but MB 2013 is good.
hey , thanks a lot , man, this tutorial really helped, after installing macOS ventura using open core , everything looks fine and working , except that my Mac is a little bit slow , specially when using internet /CZcams ... the main reason for this update was to download Logic Pro x , because apple requires at least macOS ventura to use ... do you recommend using different macOS's , one supported and one not in my two SSDs ? if yes , how should I operate this ? thanks
I just got a free 2008 Mac Pro that I’m trying to fix up. It has dual 4-core 2.8Ghz Intel Xeon CPUs. I’m sure it can run even sonoma using OLCP? I will be putting a RX 570 in it for metal support
Help!! My old apps such as Final cut pro, garage band, etc won't run on upgraded Os Ventura, even if I install newest versions, the system won't support them and they'll crash 😭😭😭😭
great tutorial but I am missing a step I do not understand so = Off to purchase a used new model.......I cannot risk losing my music files and video files.... thanks for the help
Hi, first of all I would like to thank you for the many tips and good instructions. I tried to bring Monterey to my Mac Pro 5.1 (mid 2012), 3.33GHz 6-core Intel Xeon with a GeForce GTX 680 4G with a clean install from a USB stick. The installation is successful. Monterey can be completely set up. The BootEFI is also installed on the new partition, but Monterey cannot be accessed again after the restart. The Prohibitary Circle appears. Do you have a rough idea where the error could be? Most of the time it’s the man in front of the screen;-) Thank you very much in advance. Rai
Thanks a lot you helped me install monterey on my mac pro 2012 without the official mac display card,I'm just having the wifi problem and I spent hours trying to fix it with no luck,the open core patch twice method didn't work I can see the wifi is on and when try to join manually and enter the ssid and password it also refuses to connect . I tried every think so I would be gratefull for any advice and thanks again
@@JessiesFlying Thanks a lot for the reply , I'm using the default broadcom module that came with my 5.1 mid 2012 . I don't know if this info is usefull but the bluetooth is working fine
I created the USB Installer disk, disconnected all other drives accept my 1TB NVME SSD drive, start the install, but it keeps starting back at the "Install OS Monteray". Like it keeps starting over. It doesn't show up like I see in the video. It's not doing the subsequent restart & installs to complete the installation 😢
Hi, thanks a lot for this tutorials, they helped me a lot to get some more live out of my 5.1. I still have a problem. Apps do not seem to be able to ask for privacy permissions like microphone, camera, etc... is any option on the patcher to solve that?
Hello Jessie, i just install Mac OS Sonoma 14,4,1 on my iMax 27 inch 2011 and it's running nice. However i did update my Final Cut Pro to 10,7,1 but it refuse to open ! What can i do ? uninstall and reinstall ? Thanks for your answer.
Thank you so much, this works for my 2015 Macbook, I have Ventura working with almost no problems *knock on wood*. The only problem is that my toolbars and most text is WAY TOO SMALL. I put on some reading glasses and still it is tiny. I was able to make the folders on my desktop larger, but not the upper toolbar and the dock. Any way to fix this please? Or is my only option to go back to an older version of OS?

Hi Jessie - I’m running Catalina on my MacPro 2010 5,1 using Dosdude Patcher. If I want to upgrade to Monterey using OpenCore Legacy Patcher will I have to start from scratch and erase the NVMExpress drive and then install OpenCore?
the OpenCore devs recommend not to upgrade a (dosdude) patched macOS, but you can try. I would start from scratch with a new SSD and keep the old one for recovery / backup reasons...
I’ve tried a free install of Monterey 4 times now. I still get “ Installation cannot proceed because the installer is damaged. Redownload the installer and try again.” I have a Late 2013 MBP 15inch full specs. Please help. Don’t know what else’s to do
Question: My Apple iMac 27 inch late 2013 (3.2 GHz / 16Gb memory) still has an old SATA 1Tb harddisk. I don't want to upgrade to SSD due to the fact that it is too much hassle to do. Does anyone know if the speed of the operation system remains the same when upgrading to macOS Monterey. I currently use macOS Catalina but a lot of apps demand macOS 12 to run.
What if i am outside of tha mac (not signed in because i just bought it 2nd hand and was factory reset ,2015 imac) not accepting bootable usb ahowing up but not installing at all
Thanks for the video, my question: with bootcamp / windows 7 installed, will it work or is there something additional to do for keeping the dual boot ? Mac Mini late 2014
Be careful, the OpenCore Legacy patcher always delete the whole EFI Partition and installs itself then afterwards. I have not tested it in combination with windows, check Dortania’s guide for details
Awesome video! Boot loader worked great. I can use Steam (why I kept this mac) 2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 4 GB, Maxed out ram. I believe it's locking up after sleep. Any clues at all as to why? Perhaps someone else has had this issue. Thanks again!

@@javmb you have to enable SIP in the settings of the OpenCore Legacy patcher and reinstall it to your boot disk, otherwise if you enable it via terminal it will automatically being disabled next boot again.
When your Mac boots try pressing arrow left and right, this should disable the automatic selection of your macOS and show the OpenCore Boot selector (it’s normally just because it waits only 1 second and your screen doesn’t show it). 👍🚀

So delighted to come across this channel. I have been stuck on the floor with my 5,1 Mac Pro trying to get it to start. Now I know why I could not do it. Great channel.
thx!
This is an important video, and I thank you for it, but I do need make one correction. If I understood you correctly, you said that RAM cannot be upgraded on a 2010 Mac mini. Actually there is socketed RAM on all Mac minis, other than the 2014 and the M1. Specifically with the 2010 through 2012 Minis, the upgrade is very easy, and the machines can address as much as 16 GB.
You’re right, I was not clear enough in my video: Apple didn’t plan that you change the RAM and it needs a little bit of technical knowledge, but it is possible!
I installed Monterey on a 2011 21.5 iMac two days ago and I'm a first timer Mac user and I'm impressed, if I would try to install win10 or 11 on a 10 year old pc that wouldn't even boot😆
I do a lot off CAD in work and I do a lot of it home as well for 3D printing so I needed a "new" all in one computer in my garage that could handle it and the iMac was so cheap that I thought why not test it and so far it have handle everything very well☺️ I do most off my Cads on my new iPad but it have always bean a hassle to get the files to the pc for slicing but not now☺️
Great to hear, bringing this old hardware to a use...!
@@JessiesFlying yeah,I don't know why it took so long to get a Mac😂 I've bean using windows since win3.11😆
I have "everything" els from apple so😆 but shouldn't the iMac snap up if I play a song or so on my iPhone like my iPad dose?🤔 Apple Music? Apple TV+ doesn't work but I guess it's because I have the ATI 6750m gpu
you have to search the forums for that, that is too specific for me....
do you see a decline in speed and performance?
@@makovitchkonda3960 just wait for today’s video😬
I want you to know. I was stuck on the upgrade. Your video was able to help me work around so I could upgrade Ventura with my late 2014 Macbook Pro 15". It seems to be working fine. many thanks!!
😊
Thank you for the time you put into helping the rest of us. I couldn’t have done it without your detailed explanation .
You’re very welcome ☺️
Hi Jessie, great video! I have 3 questions for you (sorry for the length, but I would like to understand well):
I have a Mac pro 5.1 (mid 2010) with Mojave on ssd disk named “PRINCIPLE” and a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 4Gb (not flashed, so without boot screen). I installed a new ssd DISK named “SECOND” into the Mac (cleaned and inizialized as Mac Os journaled, where I want to install Monterey).
Then I have a 16Gb pendrive (chapter 3 of your video)
Here’s my questions:
1) when the pendrive creation is finished, do I have to install the OpenCore bootloader into the pendrive OR into the ssd disk named “SECOND”? Because I think that, if I install into the pendrive, then I have to keep inserted forever...
2) Then I’ll proceed to Build and install OpenCore on ssd disk “SECOND” (chapter 2 of your video). Then instead of rebooting the system, I would shut it down, remove the system hard disk “PRINCIPLE” (so only the "SECOND" disk and the pendrive would remain connected) and boot the system WITHOUT pressing ALT. Do you think this would work, considering that with my video card I can't see the boot "?
3) If everything works, can I create a Time Machine Image so I can recovery it (in the future) without repeating the whole procedure all over again?
Thank you very much!
Install the OpenCore onto the USB and boot from it. After installing macOS from the USB onto SECOND you just start the legacy patcher again and install it onto the SECOND, then you don’t need the USB for booting anymore. When you only boot with USB and empty SSD, it should boot OpenCore from USB automatically…
Time Machine Backups will work, but make sure you always update OpenCore before updating macOs
@@JessiesFlying Thanks bro!
Hey I was asking about since I have upgraded to Monterey or bigsur or Catalina my wifi card doesn’t work I mean it works but it doesn’t connect to any networks and when I try to connect to any network it says it was unable to I was using macOS Monterey 12.2 my Mac is a mid 2009 MacBook Pro and an early 2009 iMac and for the oclp I always use the latest version any help would be appreciated
looks like the WiFi is so old, you'd better buy a cheap supported USB WiFi stick and use this...

MacBook Pro (15 Zoll, Ende 2008), Monterey 12.6.1 (21G215): LAN and WiFi no problem. Never.
For a few months i installed Monterey with OCLP on my 2010 iMac 27 inch. There were a few programs that didn’t work. Maps, garageband, Memoji’s and a few other things did not work. Now i installed an already flashed k2100m 2gb videocard and had troubles again. After listening here to your tip about changing the videocard in the macPro and the option ‘revert the post install root patch’ my problem was solved. Just did that and than did the install root patch over and everything is fully working. After that i installed Ventura and it works flawlessly.
Thank you very much again for your tips.❤
Great to hear! That’s why I’m doing it! 🚀
Amazing tutorial, just what I needed to give my 2010 Mac Pro a new lease of life. Thanks for the great work !

Thank you so very much. Because of your videos on how to install Mac OS Monterey on my old 2010 Mac Pro, I have been able to resurrect that old beast and keep using it.

Thanks a lot Jessie! I now can use my MacPro 4,1 (2009 ex 4,1) with OCLP 0.6.8 and Ventura 13.6 and it works perfect from a NVME-Drive and a Radeon RX 590 RX. USB-3-PCI is working, had to reset some rights on the other Harddrives, but bluetooth is working, Wifi is working, not a lot difference in speed coming from Catalina. Could also change the Icons in dock to my favorites and im really happy. Never could use Handoff, Airdrop and now I can use all the features from my watch also. Thanks for all the good advice and also the boot-trick with my PC-GPU.

Great channel!
Just installed Monterey 12.6 through OCLP on a heavily upgraded Mac Pro 5,1. Looks quite good. But, there's one major issue you can follow in the internet. Since Monterey 12.3, support for 10gb ethernet seems to be changed somehow. So, e.g. the common AQC chip series and others no longer work on a Mac Pro 5,1. And OCLP currently doesn't seem to provide a solution for that. 10gbe is quite common on upgraded older Mac Pros. A video on this topic and your findings would be great!!!
I have to dig deeper into that, but I don’t have anything to test here…
yay my mid 2014 iMac can support Ventura
Great video Marcus and very easy to understand your explanations and instructions. I have a 2009 iMac which I upgraded last year using Dos-Dude Catalina tool, and assume I can now use Open Core to get me to Monterey and beyond -- thanks in advance for the help. Also a you-tube session sounds interesting to further the conversation of unsupported Macs.
Be careful, don’t upgrade a patched macOS! Do a clean install with OpenCore🚀

Hello Jessie, wonderfully condensed with all info needed - straight to the point and very clear explanations. Appreciate for putting up so much time to help us people like me !
After following all your steps, I got the OS Ventura installed over OS Monterey and have 2 issues -
Apple logo during the boot screen is abnormally huge like a real size apple - how to reduce it to its normal size?
After log in, storeuid comes up every time - what is this? is it okay to get this or needs to be removed and How to?
Great to hear! The apple logo size is just a graphic driver issue as it’s loaded, but I don’t know why the store ID comes up… 🤔
8:44 min ff. The whole physical (external) drive will be used. If the HD, usb or ssd has partitions on it - they will be gone and used for the OCLP.
I am quite sure that I picked the right "disk0s2", "disk1s1" or what it says when you be prompted to pick the disk for the installer. Maybe I´am wrong and the first thing is a backup anyhow, oder so ähnlich.
Yes, the installer wipes the whole drive where it is installed on… 😖
Great news to hear !

That’s weird, did you try to do root patch twice and then reboot?
best video, thanks for the detailed explanation
Your'e welcome!
THANK YOY VERY MUCH JESSIE, such great tutorial, BEST ONE EVER ON CZcams SO FAR, you made it so easy to the average computer guy! like not other! cant thank you enough, just subscribed an liked to your channel! ( been stuck trying to install Monterey for the last 2 weeks without success, until just a few minutes ago, now up and running smopthly, mac pro 2009. 5,1
one final question though; although it is not much of an issue, as you have explained very well, but when it comes to revert root patching (due to the fact i used the old original Graphics card to be able to see the boot up screen ) do I have to revert the root patching with the old card still in place or with the new graphics card am using now??
now lets say i did have reverted the root patching with the old card in , so when i do the reboot with the new card in place do I have to start all over and start root patching againg with the new card in?? something you did not mention and just wanted to make sure, thank you once again Jessie, watching all the way from Ecuador.
yes, best way is to not apply root patches with old GPU, swap new GPU in and then do root patches. if you have them already installed revert them, swap GPU and install them again

You can install a different macOS onto a different SSD and just choose in the OpenCore which to boot... 👍

Monterey can be completely set up. The BootEFI is also installed on the new partition, but Monterey cannot be accessed again after the restart. The Prohibitary Circle appears. Do you have a rough idea where the error could be? Most of the time it’s the man in front of the screen;-)

@@TwoBirdDogStudios it only erases everything if you erase the hard disk, otherwise it’s an update and your data is kept
I did everything you told me to do, to install the OpenCore legacy patcher. But at the end when restarted my mac and chose the opencore icon, after the Machintosh Hd. There was no update.

pls help!!!!!
So the update doesn’t show up?
Hi, congratulations for the tutorials, very clear and well done. I have a question to ask. I have successfully installed Monterey on a Mac Pro 5.1 2010 with its original card (GT 120), and then ask how can I connect multiple monitors to the mac? I tried with a Radeon Pulse 580 but it is not compatible with Monterey. how to solve the problem? Thank you
Ugo
Radeon RX580 is compatible, only apple boot selector is not visible (I myself use it). 👍 details here: czcams.com/video/mtN8zxGVNwQ/video.html
