DISCLAIMER: Please understand that installing macOS Big Sur 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 Big Sur makes your Mac safer since Apple is no longer fixing security issues on macOS High Sierra and below. Thank you!

My OpenCore Legacy Patcher video is here! You asked for it and waited months for this video and it's finally here. The fact that OpenCore Legacy Patcher now supports Beta Graphics Acceleration for 2008-2011 Macs is huge news! I've been running Big Sur using open core for a bit now and it's running great! Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey does it work on 2010 15 inch MacBook Pro or 2010 white polycarbonate MacBook

@DlmlZ 3 года назад

Hello, very clear description of how to do it. So far I was able to follow up completely. Unfortunately my audio recording apps "Cubase, Nuendo and Wavelab" do not get access to the microphone. I tried out all troubleshooting hints, but none of it worked. If I go to security and click on microphone: 1. there is no icon infront of the microphone tab. 2. no applications are listed access being granted. 3. Impossible to add any application to it. :( I have a 17" Macbook Pro from 2011) As I cannot fix it, I am already considering to go back to Catalina or even Mojave, where most of my older applications are working fine. So any idea for that issue??? Thanks a lot!

Btw, not until I changed by drive format to APFS, I couldn't proceed with the install so if you have the error of "You may not install to this volume because the computer is missing a firmware partition", you can try that.

I just finished this with my mid 2012 MBPro and it's working like a dream. I had to update so I could run FCP - if this hadn't worked I literally had no other option other than buy a new MacBook; you've saved me a fortune. My system is running 16GB with a 1TB SSD. Everything has passed into Big Sur smoothly including custom keyboard shortcuts and mouse settings. Thank you SO MUCH. I spent a working day trying to this via other more outdated methods. Advice to anyone doing the same - follow his instructions to the letter. It's tedious but I tried to skip ahead, made a couple of mistakes and ending up wasting more time than if I'd just paid due attention from the get go.

The fix was to simply download “resxtreme” and set the resolution via that . Now it’s all perfect and working 100 percent . Saved me money on a new gpu as I was just about to pull the trigger on that. So glad I didn’t as I don’t need the gpu power for most of what I do, the acceleration was my only issue !! So I’ve ordered an ssd now and 32gb ram along with an i72600 … all that cost me less than the single gpu lol . Really appreciate it man

Thanks for the video, installed on my iMac late 21.5" 2009 10,1 with non metal AMD HD4670 & 16GB Ram with 1TB SSD. Installed straight over existing Mojave Dosdude1 patch without removing any files first. Took a bit of time to install but I have to say runs really well, much better than Mojave with the original patch. There are a few graphical glitches on the menus but overall awesome. Not sure if it's because I am running in Dark mode. Hopefully future graphics drivers for legacy non metal models will fix these small issues. Cheers

@robertolima8241 3 года назад

Awesome patch and tutorial - thanks.

@Zebra_Paw 2 года назад

I have several things to say: 1. Running Big Sur can be quite resource consuming for an old Mac, so you should absolutely clean install, meaning you save your data and format the internal drive as APFS before installing. 2. 4GB of RAM is OK, you don't need 8GB like the video says. However, if you have only 2GB, do not install Big Sur unless you can upgrade your RAM. That's why the 2008-2009 macbook airs and maybe other models that are stuck to 2GB of RAM aren't really supported as the website says. It will work but I would highly recommend that you don't patch these, as the performance under Mojave that is fine with 2GB of RAM are already really poor. 3. An SSD is not exactly needed, I already installed Big Sur to a USB 3.0 external hard drive and it runs fast enough. What is important is that you clean install and to use a SATA 6 Gb/s 7200RPM drive if possible (or even better, an SSD) Having one of those three features for the drive would already be great!

Question: Can I remove the ORIGINAL partition via Disk Utility or do I have to remove the new partition and then reinstall everything again? Answer: Yes you can. Boot into the system you want to leave, open Disk Utility and (Cmd+2 show all devices) select the top-layer one (it should say something SSD) and click "Partition." Choose the partition you want to delete and click the minus sign to delete it. And then, choose the partition left and change its size to the max.

@@Mr.Macintosh I also have an Early 2011 15" MacBook Pro and have re-flashed the GMUX using the wonderful Dosdude's hardware method (with brightness fix). So the AMD GPU is properly disabled. Will I be safe to ahead with this Big Sur method and if so any special precautions for this modded, Intel GPU only machine? Fantastically helpful video. Thanks.

When a new patcher comes out with upgraded items, do you re-download it and run the build and the patch for non metal systems?

@DANIEL_GARCIA. 2 года назад

Why are people liking to a question instead of answering?

@ivanjuarez1412 2 года назад

@@DANIEL_GARCIA. Probably because when someone answers they will see the update, but to answer the question, Yes, when a new version of opencore comes out you apply it you will need re-patch the system to take advantage of the changes.

@mateiacd 3 года назад

I think is required the "EFI Boot" icon of the internal hard drive, because the USB flash drive should have been removed before, it's not necessary anymore at that moment. Sorry if I'm wrong.

OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher is up to 0.3.1 it was a little different from the video put work well thanks again for showing the way.

Well, amazing as it is, I get to the boot picker screen (black with white apple) and the progress bar never changes, it just remains at the beginning with no progress at all, and it stays there 4 ever! What have I missed?

I have the same exact issue on my 2010 mac mini. Black screen/White Apple. Progress bar gets to almost the middle, then hangs forever. Mr Mackintosh is very thorough with his tutorials, soooo I'm asking too. What did I miss?

I let the progress bar hang in the middle for close to two days, and finally got tired and when to restart holding down the option key to get to the boot picker screen. This time instead of selecting the usb drive, I selected the Big Sur picture with the logo of the hard drive over it, and it installed fully.

@dougcjohn 2 года назад

I’ve had this on Mac Pro 5,1 too… if you hold power, restart… select the Drive, not USB… this may be 1-n times it will complete and then finish install. On other OpenCore configurations, I’ve had this as well. I’m on a SSD HD connected to SATA connector. Tried this today, very smooth setup and it rebooted better than other OC setups… but it did hang a few times on Install.
