DISCLAIMER: Installing macOS Monterey 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 Monterey makes your Mac safer since Apple is no longer fixing security issues on 10.14 and below.

Worked amazingly, this is the second time that i install monterey, the first one failed so I had to downgrade to catalina, because the tutorial lasted like 43 minutes and teh guy did a lot of random stuff, monterey that time did not work well, i had stuttering, overheating and the apps didn't work. However with your tutorial, which was short and straight into the point, the install of monterey worked like a charm! Thank you!

A few hiccups, but I was able to update my mid-2011 iMac to Ventura 13.4.1...I opted to try the upgrade install without wiping my information and so far (knocks on wood), everything has been running well and stable. Thank you for the video!

@Fralibers 7 месяцев назад

I’m tempted to do the upgrade without wiping my data as well. Are you still happy with yours ?

@paranormalcanuck 7 месяцев назад

@@Fralibers , I did end up doing a full wipe (after backing up of course) and did a complete fresh install. Now that OCLP 1.0.1, it resolved the Bluetooth not working issue. However, the assigned keyboard functions, such as the volume buttons don't work and I can't find an option in settings to resolve this. The other issue I'm having, is that when I open Photos and the click on a picture to edit, the picture goes blank. I can see them fine in the thumbnail preview but they won't open (I use Google Photos to navigate around that issue). In hindsight, I probably should have tried installing Monterey, as I believe it's more stable on my iMac model. Besides, those two issues, I'm satisfied because having the enhanced security features/patches is worth it...I think LOL

@Fralibers 7 месяцев назад

I agree, security patches are definitely worth it ! Glad it worked out for you 👍 did you do the fresh install because the system was slow or buggy ?

@clivewuest8529 7 месяцев назад

A great tutorial. Have been nervous about installing this on my 2010 macbook pro for a while, but having watched your video took the plunge as it was so clear. Could have put Sonoma on, but I think that maybe pushing this old mac to far and was more interested in having functional mac that would run newer apps than the latest for the sake of it, so installed Monteray I am sure the Opencore boffins have ironed out most of the issues with this version. Works a treat, the only issue so far being that Maps opens but does note display a map. Seems this is because it needs a Metal GPU for this function to work so may be unresolvable, but defo worth the sacrifice for other apps I can now use. Thanks again. Clive
