Wow. No bullshit video that asks the questions that one does when one’s trying to follow online guides. Brilliant style

After hours of research over a few weeks, this is so far the most comprehensive streamlined video on how to step by step upgrade to a new OS on a unsupported Macintosh device. And without interruption of selling points, ads or links. Thank you, Great job!

Did the steps introduced. Worked. Very good tutorial. Now Sonoma is up in my late 2015 iMac. Thanks for the help! One thing I like to mention is when the Sonoma is downloaded, system will restart, you need to watch out otherwise the system will skip the selection to boot from targeted disk. This caused black screen and stuck. Restart with key option pressed can solve the issue.

Congratulations. Crystal clear content. Even a five years old kid could understand it and make it work propperly. Thank you very much indeed. I'm watching from Nicaragua.

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Except there was one issue that I had when formatting my MACBOOK AIR 5, 1 HD: I did not have the option of APFS Scheme: GUID Partition Map option. We will have to wait and see if this will work. I have much confidence that this video will help me with much success. I also have a MACBOOK PRO 2017 that I will be updating to SONOMA as well. Thank you!

I'm trying to upgrade a 2014 macbook air but in disk utility, it only shows media zero kb. It's running Big Sur just fine but it won't let me upgrade with open core. I can start holding Cmd-R & it shows Macintosh HD. I went into it there & partitioned the SSD but still the same thing. Any suggestions

Thanks for the great video! Question - do you have a video that covers how to make bootable backups of OCLP macOS installs on unsupported macs using something like SuperDuper or CCC? Is there some trick to get this to work? Is it even actually possible?

Mine is stuck at last step the progress bar is stuck at 10% and doesn’t finish loading it just stays there, I left it for an hour, so rebooted and selected the macos and still same thing, and because I erased hard drive to format it I lost my original OS so I’m stuck now I can’t get the device to load into the setup to finish setting it up

Hello, this is what you are describing. Mac book a1181 is from 2007. Can it be made for a laptop with OS X 10.6.8?

[cqcjgvu]

So I can keep using my ssd instead of my hdd?

Good video, is this an "OS upgrade" or "OS Fresh-New-Install" ? Will all my current adobe apps/ms office apps/photo/video/data be wiped-out after the installation ?
