Install Newer Versions of macOS on Old Macs | OpenCore Legacy Patcher [Step by step]
OpenCore Legacy Patcher is a free, open-source tool that lets you install and run newer versions of macOS on older Mac hardware that Apple no longer officially supports. Think of it as a way to breathe new life into your aging MacBook, iMac, or Mac Pro.
The computer I'm doing the walkthrough on is a mid-2014 iMac.
IMPORTANT!!
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR DATA IF YOU DECIDE TO ATTEMPT THE PROCESS.
