Install macOS Big Sur on unsupported models

Показать описание

In this video, I will go through the process required to install Big Sur on Apple devices that no longer support it. We will start by creating the USB drive to perform the installation, followed by an actual installation on an unsupported model (Late 2012 iMac (iMac 13,1)). The same can be used for Macbooks or Mac Pro as well.

Newer version of macOS: Sonoma

This works on my 2012 MBP, Thank You. Big Sur uses the updated windows bootcamp too. I just installed win10 with no BSOD errors and the volume works now.

Hi Jensd,
Just wanted to let you know after a lot of tries, making a new boot disc on another usb stick I finally succeeded to install everything.It runs very smoothly.
Thanks a lot for your nice and very well explained video.

Loves from Turkey ❤️ I tried two different methods and the result was just a waste of time. The method you gave was the simplest and the best ❤️ It just didn't allow the last patch you did but I don't have a connection problem. My Late 2013 iMac was 10.15.7 Catalina, now 11.6.2 Big Sur 🤗🎈 And now ☺️ I want to try Monterey with you.

Today, I installed Big Sur on a 2009 macbook. Still I can't believe :) It has a SSD with 2GB of ram. I will add more ram and I think it can handle daily stuff. Thank you for your effort.

Followed all of your instructions. Installed MacOS Big Sur over my Catalina on Macbook Pro 2012 without any problem from the first try. I also used the Post-Install patch to initiate my Wi-Fi. 9:08 It works! Thank you for your help.

Late to the party it seems. I bought a 2012 Mac Mini i7/16G/256G SSD off eBay for $150 with Catalina for just my at home computer (have a 2022 MacBook Pro for work). Paired with a 2011 Apple Thunderbolt Cinema Display (2560x1440), Apple Magic Keyboard, Apple Magic Mouse. This video was spot on, got Big Sur working and love it. Siri, iMessage, live weather and all my apps work. Well done!!!!

Of all the different methods to install Big Sur, this is the only one that worked, at least for me! Thank you so much!!! I finally feel free from "High Sierra's tyranny"! On the other hand, even when you have a very good and clear pronunciation, I still can hear you have a slight Eastern (Hindu, perhaps?) accent when speaking English. May I know where you are from? I am really, really, really interested in knowing people from Eastern countries and cultures. Do you know why? I want to 'enhance' my viewpoints and make my education grow up.
