Today I will show you how to Install macOS Big Monterey 12 on an Unsupported Mac, MacBook iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Pro - Basically ANY MAC that has been made from around 2008 onwards. However I will show you how you can check if your Mac is comptible with Monterey.
To be clear this guide shows you how to install Mac OS Monterey, it is up to you to backup your data first and use Monterey at your own risk, I am not responsible for any loss of data etc...For me as you can see I installed Monterey and it worked for me, however due to unforeseen circumstances I can't help with all install steps if it doesn't work out for you. I also can't support or guide you on the use of additional Apps you may install like for example Office (word, powerpoint, excel), Final Cut Pro, Photoshop etc... they may work - they may not. However do help others in the comments if you get Apps to work what other are struggling with.
Please make sure your Mac is Compatible here;

Using OpenCore; I have successfully installed macOS Big Monterey 12 onto a 2012 MacBook Pro and you can to on your Intel Mac!
You will need a USB stick and and the OpenCore Legacy patcher.

Excellent and well documented process for updating an older Apple product. Installed MacOS Monterey (Kingston 256 SSD, & 4GB Dual Channel RAM) on a Macbook 5,2 using a 32GB, USB 3.0 Flash Drive. The install was much quicker than I expected and the Macbook seems faster than on El Capitan. Well done and thank you very much for your fine tutorial!

woohoo. I just upgraded from Catalina to Monterey by following your video. I bought a second mac which was running Catalina and my current mac Montery and I tried to migrate data but it didn't work due to the OS compatibility and after following your instructions its all up and working. Now I can run Logic and continue with my music production. Thank you soo much.. You have been amazing from start to finish.

Can't thank you enough for this video Matt. It has saved me a small fortune. I bought a new MacBook Pro last year because I was stuck on High Sierra on my (mid 2011) 27" iMac with 24GB of RAM and 1TB SSD and couldn't upgrade to the latest levels of PS and LR for photo editing and other software that I use. My iMac was working perfectly apart from that. I was about to invest in a new monitor to go with my MacBook Pro as I missed my 27" screen for photo editing. Your instructions were very clear with plenty of warnings on backup etc. I did have a few squeaky bum moments as I could not get my bluetooth Magic Mouse or Keyboard to connect after installing Monterey. I had to borrow USB versions of both from friends to get past these steps. However, once Monterey was fully installed and rebooted both connected as I would expect. I don't know if you have tried installing this on an iMac, but I would suggest that you recommend to have USB mouse and keyboard available just in case. Thanks once again.

Thank you for this info. I installed Monterey on an 120GB SSD from OWC that I had bought for a Mac Mini expansion, in an external enclosure. So my late 2008 MB Pro 5,1 w/8GB RAM now runs OS 10.11.6 from the spiny drive, or with the external plugged in it runs Monterey. It took me a few tries to get the installation right and the 'About one minute remaining' at the end took an hour or more to finish. I have some things that won't run on the latest OS so this gives me two machines in one. Further info on my MB - This machine sat for years, I thought it was dead, because the power supply light was on and the machine wouldn't work. I plugged in my old power supply from another MB by accident one day and this MB came back to life.

I followed the instructions to up until after rebooting and you had us erase our internal hard drives. I was afraid to do it because I didnt have a backup so i skipped that part just for it to still work. Now some the applications that were on my old OS no longer work which i knew wouldn’t because there now outdated. But i can get all the new stuff so im stocked!

I just succesfully installed monterey on my macbook pro 13 mid 2012, took a while though since first I installed it on the wrong drive, so I had to start over again and then when I was finished it started rebooting again and again, I thought it had just got stuck on a bootloop, but I let it do it's thing and it rebooted like 5-6 times before it went on to the setup phase, but now I have monterey installed and everything seems to be working. And now, I can install xcode on my 2012 macbook pro, I'm glad I didn't shell out the extra money for a 2015 macbook pro that would've been officially supported by apple for monterey. Also, I have 16gb of ram and a big ssd in my mbp, would've had to settle for 8gb/128gb ssd base model 2015 mbp otherwise. These opensource guys behind this project deserve my thanks for doing this, allowing people to keep using their old macbooks without them becoming e-waste. I should probably try this on my old 2011 imac as well.

Nice video, but absolutely no need to erase your original OS when installing or upgrading your OS. It will install/upgrade over it perfectly well, just as if you'd done a standard OS upgrade from Apple. All your Apps and settings are still there. No need to recover them from a Time Machine backup (although do still make one). Upgraded an HFS+ High Sierra machine to APFS Big Sur with OCLP and it both translated the disk system from HFS+ to APFS as well as did the installation and upgrade to Big Sur. Because that's what Apple does and they're actually doing the work. OCLP just says "Yes, this machine is compatible (wink), over to you Apple." When all the dust has settled, it applies any required patches.

It's sad that these perfectly good machines are denied the latest operating system by Apple.
