Performance test of macOS 11.0 Big Sur Beta 5 on unsupported MacBook Pro Mid 2012 (startup/shutdown)

We are now on the fifth beta release of Big Sur, and it is still able to be installed on unsupported Macs such as this Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Boot up time has improved dramatically since Beta 1. A comparison video will come shortly. The biggest factor in the good performance is the SSD, so I highly recommend installing an SSD so Big Sur doesn't run slowly on your old Mac.
Keep in mind that I am only using 4GB of RAM for these tests! 8GB or more definitely recommended for even more performance.
