You make people feel like their your close buddy just from watching a video. That's a gift.

[angan]

este es un gran video! ¡Qué bueno ver a la gente tratando de mantener vivas las viejas Mac mientras pasan! El mejor tutorial de todos

[zeqeck]

Old tech is so much more fun if you like to tinker and push the limits of your hardware 😉

[andrewdupuis]

I did it on my Macbook Pro other day and i added ssd

[mslo]

Hello rebeltech. such a waste that i have already disposed this macbook years ago. it would have been great for me to use that macbook to learn tech. You deserve more subscribers <3

[rfigueroa]

Thumbs up for the guide but I kept mine at high sierra just cuz the dedicated graphics isn’t supported

[rashidbhatti]

thanks bro for such an amazing video, can I install Monterey on MacBook 13" early 2011 the same way?

[swaresure]

Hi,
Thanks for the video which was perfectly perfect! However, after installing Office 2021 in my MacBook Pro 2011 Monterey, whenever I select a line on word document to make it italic or so, the entire line gets totally unreadable behind the grey colored rectangle (created from Shift + </>)😢. Any clues?

[stephanusyogi]

hello, can you share screen to extended monitors using thunderbolt port in that upgraded OS(Monterey)

[taufantritamaputra]

hallo bang, mac2011 15inch saya ada malah diVGA AMD, biasanya saya non aktifkan VGAnya manual diterminal. cara ini saya lakukan dimacos heighsierra dan Catalina berhasil tanpa kendala, tapi saya coba di Monterey kayanya cara ini gk bisa.

dengan cara apa ya bang nonaktifkan VGA AMDnya? semoga nanti ada tutornya dichanel ini saya selalu pantau

[jodaijohnsonfilms]

If i disable the gpu, will be able to run Adobe premier pro and After effect

[shiku]

@Rebeltech, I have the same macbook pro and I would like to use it as a developer machine, how does it hold up with the latest xcode ( since its the only reason I would like to upgrade) and ios emulation?

[laurensiuso]

Thank you for this informative content. Love your work mate.

[notmyname]

Did you say it was a bit laggy? I'm still running a 17" 2011 mbp (with the dosdude GPU disable software fix) on Sierra lol. Would love to bump it up to Monterey but wouldn't be worth it in my situation if the performance was compromised by a significant amount. I was also under the impression that I'd lose my sleep/brightness control? Think I'd need to solder and do the full GPU override? Thanks for any additional advice. Thumbs up for the 🐱.

Bumped into this channel randomly. Definitely subscribing.

I have a MacBook pro 17inch back from 2011 with the i7 can this be applied on the model, thanks!
