It's 2023. Worked wonderfully. First impressions of this video looked too complicated, so I thought I'd just ask the local 'Geek Squad'. But after seeing their reviews, I quickly decided I better try follow alone to this video first. (THIS IS THE FIRST MAC / APPLE ANYTHING I HAVE EVER OWNED) I just did this to my MacPro 2013. Which was still running on macOS Catalina. There were some hiccups I was able to figure out. But over all this tutorial was exceptional. Thank you.

I finally managed to install Big Sur on my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15"- a machine that Apple declared "Obsolete" is now running Big Sur, there are a few bugs but for the most part, everything is running smoothly. And my fan doesn't run as much as when I had High Sierra. That's a plus. Now I can get a few more years out of this machine, all I need to do is replace the battery, clean the insides and replace the thermal paste and I'm good to go. Now if there OpenCore patch app to bring new life to my First Gen iPad - life would be grand. :) Thanks again Mr. Mac for the tip.

I have asked this on the discord server for OCLP, but maybe someone reading this can help . . . I have a MBP 2011 with a fried discrete GPU. It's been running El Capitan fine for years now thanks to a RadeonDisable sh script you have to boot into Ubuntu on a USB flash drive to run. Obviously it disables the discrete GPU so the MBP runs off the iGPU. But any attempt to upgrade means that in short order I can't see anything on the screen as it reverts to the broken dGPU. I'm wondering if maybe I can install everything needed to an external SSD and then just swap the external for the internal? Anyone any better ideas?

Thanks Brent & Harry!!! Tunis, this video was a lot longer and had an explanation that the new OCLP app will automatically install the post install patches after installing Big Sur. If for some reason this part fails, you can still install them manually in the OCLP app just like Brent and Harry said. The window will also tell you if the automatic patching worked or not because it will show a last install date.

This is fantastic, and has meant that my 5,1 Mac Pro can now receive all the new shiny Adobe updates, which it couldn't when in Catalina. Thank you very much. One issue remains: There is no Apple (or any other) menu bar appearing top left of the screen. I have the clock etc on the right, but the left is blank.

Huge thank you for this video. I downloaded a game on Steam which wouldn't run. A bit of investigation and it turns out my OS wasn't good enough (Macbook Pro mid 2012). I followed this video and now have the game running brilliantly on Big Sur. Liked and subscribed. Thanks again!

hey man i have the same machine and gonna do that as well! did you use this method with hdd or an upgraded ssd in your imac? i’m wondering how fast this will be for a day to day use… i currently have an ssd in mine and it runs the latest catalina update really smooth and stable, as i mentioned, for a casual daily usage.

Such an amazing explanation of everything. My instal went without a hitch. I'm very happy, sold this old iMac to a friend and they should be good for a few years. I however should have installed an ssd before this process. But I'll leave that up to them in the future.

Great Tutorial !! Thank You. I have a Late 2012 MacMini, and everything was great. The only thing that was not, was at " New auto popup to install OCLP to internal Hard Drive!" at 17:14, and 17:49. The computer apparently did not require it, maybe this is an update I have not read about yet as of May 27 2024. I DID go back into "APPLICATIONS" and clicked on the OpenCore Legacy patcher , and manually selected "Build and Install OpenCore" which solved the issue above. It's just slightly different than the video. I am impressed. This was a fantastic tutorial. Time to fork over some cash for a tip. Thank you again. Now it wants to upgrade to the latest Sonoma. Going to have to read if that's possible.

Just did this on my 3,1 mac pro 2008. I got some kernel panics first time I booted off the SSD with Big sur on it, but it works fine now after resetting the PRAM a couple of times and restarting. Looks like I'm keeping this old cheesegrater abomination running for a couple more years at least! Thanks Mr.M!!
