You may want to check reduce motion and reduce transparency (for me i check on increase contrast) at Accessibility>Display. It will help for stage manager function.

I gotta say how well the 2012 MacBook Pros have held up over the years is insane, I have one that I mostly use for ripping DVDs these days, but if I replaced the battery it could be my daily driver. Easily my favorite laptop of all time.

Hello, I am Korean.
I thought about purchasing the 2012 mid macbook pro as a used one, and then I thought a lot about what to do with MacOS.
But I saw your video on YouTube, and I was able to get a lot of help.
Thank you.

There may be some errors in this article due to the translation machine, but I believe you will understand😀

Machine is a mid 2012. Did the upgrade from Monterey and it runs without any lag, I'd say quite snappy for its age. 500gb ssd, 16gb ram, design software loaded (Photoshop, Illustrator, indesign all perform satisfactorily ) .Bluetooth and WiFi work well

I bought this model the other day after watching your video. I havent had any problems using this 11 year old machine. Its been working just fine for me.

Great work with these videos mate. The amount of perfectly working hardware that is discarded each year is a shame. Thank you for your contribution and may the Apple gods keep the updates coming for as long as hardwarely possible✌️

THANK YOU for this testing!
In the past, I know things were NOT this smooth because in 2021, with a Mac Mini 2009 I tried running one of the newer unsupported OS. Things like internal wifi did not work possibly due to the 32->64 bit transition and missing 64-bit drivers. I'm amazed this all works now!

This is great news. My 2012 15 inch MacBook Pro is still on Catalina but I was considering upgrading it to Ventura. Glad to see it works as well as it does.

Recently got a mid 2012 i7

And your videos helped me out

THANK YOU!!!!

[madhawarock]

Oh, well. I wanted to update to Ventura because of the continuity camera. Thanks for this follow-up video!

[williamlafrance]

Great video, I can confirm the firewire port works correctly, I tested an Apogee Duet Firewire and a LaCie fw800 enclore on my mid-2012 i7 13'' MacbookPro and both works well !

Excellent, thank you. I have a Late 2012 MBP which is 'stuck' on Catalina and no Apple OS updates. I hadn't even heard of Open Core Legacy Patcher until a few days ago.This looks like a good option to continue the lifespan of the MBP, especially given that it is still going strong.

I was an Android and Windows guy a few years back, but I have almost moved to Apple products. Your videos helped a lot. Thanks for your time. Cheers !!

New subscriber here, great content. I just upgraded my mid 2012 MBP 13 to Monterey from Catalina a few days ago. It's running great although I can't speak to multi drive function, I swapped it out for a second SSD during a major upgrade several months ago (RAM, SSDs, battery). However, I'm reluctant to make the move to Ventura since I had heard on YouTube it's glitchy on some machines.

this video was informative and fun to watch keep up the good work:)

concerning the lag in system preferences i can say that it has been an issue with macos its just that while clicking on a tab in the previous versions of macos, the system preferences would display loanding siri and passwords for instance. but in Ventura it seems to appear as ipad or iphones interface where we expect tabs to pop up instantly but the MBP 2012 is still a decent machine. I use it for light works and Djaying and it works 100% for me

[TheMetalMag]

Thx no one has done this yet! I was skeptical about using and old mac but you showed me it’s working fine! Great

[yogajoeguy]

late 2012 Mac mini 16 gig with ssd, will attempt to try
Thank you, a very informative video. You definitely put a lot of work into it.

[TomLaPointe]

Great video! Thank you for posting and best of luck with your channel

I have a M2 Macbook Air with Ventura and the settings menu are as sluggish as well. It's definitely a Ventura issue.
On those older Macbooks with opencore, I'd stick with Monterey 12.6.3, still plenty of support and runs very well.
