    I'm on Sonoma right now, on a 2009 Mac Pro. I'm 71 and not a super computer nerd....it wasn't rocket science. On this computer I had to buy a METAL compatible graphics card - bought an old GX 680 on Ebay for 30 bucks and flashed the thing as described in a TH-cam video - also had to upgrade the firmware on the computer from 4.1 to 5.1. Again, there were videos on TH-cam. I think the best part was that I bought this computer, about a month ago, on Ebay for $49 and $36 dollars shipping. The thing is in great condition. I upgraded the RAM to 32 gig for about 30 bucks. So, for around $150.00 I have a nice Mac running the latest OS. Thanks to you and the other folks who provide these videos.

      We have converted one Mac Mini 2014 and one MacBook Air 2013 to Chromebooks with ChromeOS Flex without any hardware upgrades or extra costs. The process took about half an hour and now these machines are snappier than ever. We are amazed and grateful for this option since we almost exclusively use online based applications like SmartSuite, ZOHO Projects, MS Office Online and Google Workspace applications.

    One of the rare TH-cam videos where the title actually matches the content. Followed this great tutorial to easily upgrade my 2017 Macbook Air from Monterey to Sonoma 14.5 using Legacy Core Patcher 1.5. Ran the root patcher afterwards and also disabled auto updates. I tried to watch other videos from other YTers, but they are overlong, overly technical and lack the no-nonsense delivery methods. Geat job and thank you for this episode.

I spent the entire evening trying to achieve the same results as shown in thIS video. Every time I got to the final part of the installation, it would hang. However, your video not only helped me install Sonoma on a 2015 MacBook Pro but also Ventura (fully working - Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and weather) on a mid-2011 MacMini Intel i7. I shared the link to your video on the other person's TH-cam page to help others who might have encountered the same issue I did before finding your video. Your instructions were perfect!

    Best yet. Now I feel I understand which parts of the process are doing what. The key that I was missing is installing oclp to a disk installs it configured for that specific mac (or other mac if you tell it to with the architrcture selection). Now I feel I can override parts where neccessary, such as using an install disk on another machine by installing oclp for the target achitecture on that disk. This really is the first tutorial of the many Ive seen that explained that properly. Thank you.

    Really great tutorial. I have a 2009 5,5 that I had already upgraded to Catalina not using OCLP, so it was not up-gradable using this technique. I used a blank SSD mounted internally and booted off the Catalina drive connected through an adapter. Everything worked fine up to the point of installing OCLP on to the USB drive. It would not detect the flash drive. What made it work was connecting a USB 2.0 hub.

Settled on Ventura for these reasons: 1) Many apps are no longer supported on Monterey such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. 2) Sonoma is too slow and some programs such as Firefox often froze, and 3) Ventura is zippier than Sonoma and all the programs I have tried so far worked without a glitch. Only is issue is the nag from apple to upgrade to Sonoma in the System Setting which ignore. So far very happy with the upgrade. Allows me to use my laptop with more modern apps without a problem

    Jessie, thanks for the great tutorial - very clear and concise. I have an older 2011 27" iMac (12,2) - I know your recommendation is 2012 and later, I do have 16gb memory and replaced the hard drive with a 1TB SSD. The last supported OS was High Sierra - and I have bootcamp running Widows 10 which I was planning to remove. I know the graphics card is non-metal - so there will be functionality loss. The machine is not my main computer and would otherwise go into storage. Do you know of any issues that would prevent OCLP from completing on this machine? thanks

    HelloJessie
    Let me clarify your presentation. Your primary (default) installation method is to select the Synoma install from the launch pad, correct?
    Will this install the new system with no changes to existing settings, documents, applications, etc.? This is an update of your current system to Synoma (similar process to using system upgrades)?
    You did it on a clean system but can the same be done on a working system?
    An alternative way is to use an installation usb drive.
    I've watched many videos on this process and everywhere it says not to upgrade from a macOS upgrade and every presenter installs Synom on a clean system. But nowhere have I found precise information on whether it is possible to do an update on an existing, working system and not lose data.

    • @JessiesFlying

      Hi, it's not different to a regular macOS update, you just need OpenCore installed first. An update will not delete your settings or your data, but if anything breaks you will need to install it from scratch and recover you data via a backup

I decided to try to wipe my laptop and do a factory reset but it wouldn’t allow me to re-download the original MacOS (High Sierra). So, in frustration, I just hard reset my laptop. After that happened, when I turn on my laptop, it only shows the loading bar that loads a quarter of the way, and then stops completely.

    Great video and tutorial Jessie. I don't see the link to your discord group. I run a Mac Pro Users Group on Facebook, we always post your new video's, especially how to install OCLP with a PC graphics card, and how to EnableGOP on a 5,1 Mac Pro.

    For some reason when I hold option I dont get the EFI boot option. I have a 2015 iMac Fusion Drive.. any ideas? I've seen the EFI drive before when updating to Ventura but doesn't seem to come up here annoyingly. I've tried a few times whilst holding the options key but still no cigar. Please help!

    i bought a mid-2015 MacBook pro and used OCLP to upgrade it to Sonoma. i ran into some trouble but eventually got it done. it works great except that whenever i restart my MacBook, it goes into the boot launcher (you know, where it asks you what drive you want to boot into) but it only lasts on that page for a few seconds before going into MacOS proper and it works like normally after that. i only have one drive in my MacBook and i don't press anything for it to launch into the boot launcher. i'm brand spanking new to all this so i'm just wondering if this is normal.

      @@azn1011 that’s normal. You could set the time (5 seconds is standard) to zero in the OpenCore legacy patcher settings and install it to disk again, but I don’t recommend that

    Thank you for your reply yesterday Jessie. This was such a great video but I was met with a really formidable impasse. I'm using a Mid 2012 MacPro 5,1. I tried both, the USB Drive & the other method but upon restarting in order to get the Apple Boot Selector screen, I would get nothing but a black screen after restarting and pressing alt/option. I googled other solutions & alternatives but nothing worked. I tried clearing PRam but that didn't work either. Is there any solution or workaround for this? This is now the 5th day of working on this with no progress. Thank you so much!

    b,.t.w. I observed that every failed installation, the Sonoma would append the string "-- Data" at the end of the data volume. It became " iMac -- Data -- Data --Data"... until the successful trial, then it becomes "iMac --Data" again. I wonder if it was not successful and eventually the data volume name may become too long and crash the installation.

    Thanks for making such great video, Jessie. i have a question, my 5,1 is currently runnning Montery with OCLP. I am wondering, can i upgrade to Sonoma just simply hit "install" under System Preference -> software update and then apply latest version of OCLP, instead of installing the OS from scratch?
