    OMG!!!! Bro, this updated my 11 year old MacBook Pro from High Sierra to Catalina WITH NO ISSUES, period. The first successful update I’ve done in over 3 years and is only the 3rd time I’ve ever had to fix my MacBook Pro after 11 years of owning it. THE BEST LAPTOPS AROUND as in EVER!!!! Thanks to you Prime Tech, you saved me the headache from having to spend $$$ on another laptop that I didn’t need!! PS- did I say this update really works!!!!

      That’s the problem with apple products. They design them to fail at some point although they’re completely functional. At this point, an iPad is relatively feasible in price and does nearly the exact same things as a laptop unless you absolutely need it. I have a 2011 Mac Pro just sitting in my closet for these exact reasons and why I have not purchased any laptops…I simply use my iPad.

    I recently purchased this macbook pro from around 2011. I've had issues accessing certain features. So i wanted to update it. I found this video. I got to the point of creating the bootable installer. I'm doing this on the Mac that I'm trying to update. I keep getting an error saying 'error restoring BaseSystem. The whole message "An error occurred while restoring BaseSystem.dmg.Ensure that your target installer volume is formatted as "macOS Extended (Journaled)" (HFS+), them try running the tool again.

    Hey at the 3:15 point instead of being able to continue it says a Firmware Update is Required with the option to ignore and continue at the bottom. Should I ignore or update the firmware? It states a APFS booting support system is needed in order to run Catalina and that I would need to install macOS 10.13 High Sierra first. Can I bypass this step?
