- Today I will show you how to Install macOS 11 Big Sur on an Unsupported Mac.
On top you can learn how to fix macOS Big Sur problems (can't Install on Macintosh HD) here; iboysoft.com/mac-data-recover...
To be clear this guide shows you how to install Mac OS Big Sur, it is up to you to backup your data first and use Big Sur at your own risk, I am not responsible for any loss of data etc...For me as you can see I installed Big Sur 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;

Thank you for the information and excellent instructions. The installation went perfect with the Big Sur Patch, just had to figure out the kext patch for WIFI and Bluetooth. Once I moved it to my SSD and started it, all went smoothly. I am like a kid with a old but super modern toy. I have 2 x 8Gb Storage and 2 x 524gb SSD. A mid 2012 Macbook Pro. It purrrrs like a kitten. Well done to all the developers, and thank you Matt Talks for your RUclips. Keep up the good work. 😀🤗
Fantastic tutorial. Buttery smooth. Thank you!
Brother you were a huge help ty much. You’re the man.
Do you have a Mac that cannot run MacOS Big Sur natively? Give this video a try on you old Mac and let me know your success story!
Gonna help my friend who has a older Mac. Thank you!
@@jennymichael6242 thanks for showing me that, bot.
@@jennymichael6242 Yes, you’re a bot.
@Matt Talks Tech I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and 2012 Mac mini and 2013 iMac. Will Big Sur on my 2011 MacBook Pro? Or 2012 Mac mini or 2013 iMac
I have (Akai MPC software that requires display driver forms is 10.14-11.0) that is because 10.13 is not supported on macOS high sierra...can you please help me!!!!!
You are an absolute genuis. I was able to from Catalina and some steps were not necessary. thank you so much
Is your Mac still working well?
Just did the installation on my mid 2012 13. Tried Monterey and Ventura on OCLP. But this is by far the best. Big Sur works very well on this machine
You are the man!!!!!!! worked like charm on my iMac late 2013.
im about to try this on mine, does yours have a HDD?
Thanks man this really helped n everything works great 🤘🏽
Awesome tool ... It made my day...
Thanks much for the detailed explanation
Helped a lot! Thanks mate.
Thank you for the brilliant instructions. The installation went perfect without any hiccup.
wow thank you, the first time someone gets into old macs! I keep mine at least 10 years
Using 2011 mac air
Did yours work?
@@marygaychiong970 I haven't tried as the 2011 macbook pro isn't in the list as it has troubles with graphic cards so i'll try on a more recent one.
;( oh no. I am still using mine now tho. it's just for office work. but I can't dl some apps. I want to at least upgrade the software so I can dl the apps needed.
@@marygaychiong970 I use it for the net but I won't try to get higher that high sierra to damage it , the net is already taking too much so I can't wait to have another one
thank you so much this really helped me upgrading 🥰
Thank you very much. I'm really happy because of you.
God bless you. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Super explanation, many thanks.
cheers mate worked perfectly
Love the disassembled phones in the frames
Works perfectly on my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, thanks a million Matt
Can you install apps now?
Did you have to install Catalina first or did you go from High Sierra straight to Big Sur?
Easy and clear tutorial
Thanks man keep up the good work.
😅
Nice video matt and good to understand thanks 😊
Excellent Job it worked like a Charm
Very easy guide thank you
Thank you very much.
This was of immense help at a crucial moment!
This video was an amazing tutorial. I hadn’t updated my 2012 MacBook Pro 13inch 750gb since November 2013. I was still running Yosemite Mac OS. I went to the apple icon/url bar when using the search engine and while on the apple website engine I searched for Mac OS Catalina install. Before I installed it I had to go to the privacy setting in system preference to allow third party developers, because while on Yosemite Mac OS I could even search for any updates in the App Store for other Mac OS apps. After doing the privacy setting change I was able to download Mac OS catalina 10.15.7 from there I was able to follow the tutorial of this video by connect a usb thumb drive (32gb). The steps were all the same except in the video (Matt talks tech) had an older version of Mac OS Catalina. I have 1Gig internet speed, which is really fast and downloading Catalina from Yosemite took me 4hours. Then downloading Catalina to Big Sur took me 3.5 hours. I have Big Sur 11.5.1 while the video shows Big Sur 11.2.3 Also don’t worry about the language setting - it says “Canadian English” which you can’t change but it really doesn’t make a difference. Also when choosing the Big Sur download after the reboot while holding “alt” button the color is green next to the purple “eif” button then chose the Mac intosh drive to the left because your usb drive is the one to the right. The internet not working part is scary because the “launch pad” icon changes to this “mix bar” icon like when you group a bunch of apps together. There is where you’ll find the patched Sur download which changes looks as mentioned in the video. Click it and you’ll find the kexts which will allow you to enable the WiFi to turn back on after having restarted/rebooted the MacBook Pro, then click clean leftovers like the video says and the whole update is complete. I was really about to go and buy a new lab top because my kid needed one for school and these chrome books they give these kids are horrible. He’s really happy because he doesn’t have to use the chrome app no more and the apps the teachers use to spy on the kids computers don’t work on safari.
it works...nice tutorial and content..very helpful..
Thank you so much...everything works out of the box,great explanation
Hi , I have installed big Sur on my old Mac mini 2011 successfully ..! Thank you so much for awesome video ❤️😊👍
will it work on macbook pro late 2011?
@@jaydipbarvaliya yes sure it will work ,just you need to follow the steps very carefully .
@@govind20246 THanks Govind
I have mini '11 too and I'm going to install BS on it. Did You have any troubles with installation ?
Bro , Did u find any Performance issue , or is it Slower?
Worked perfectly on my iMac late 2013. Thanks Matt.
iMac late 2013 is natively supported I think
this works well, thank you
Thank you much man work sure ❤
Thank you! This is work fast and without patches on my iMac late 2013 📈📈👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have you maybe tried Xcode, or some other apps? They working? I'm asking because i have the same iMac, and i need Xcode
Does it get regular updates after this??
@@hanzevisuals does it run xcode
Who is the man ?
Mat is the man.
everything’s perfect!!
Thanks for the video ,I just upgraded a 2010 MacBook Pro. It did not read USB flash drive ,had to use back up drive but all went well. Great help thanks again.
7 months later I know. I assume it was a mid 2010 Macbook pro you had same as mine. Mine has 4gb only so I'll probably stick to Catalina. Also waiting for an 8gb stick to make this a 10gb so I can max it out according to research otherwise I'd go for 16.
Good Video, very helpful
thanks for the tutorial.
Great video Thanks
Thanks for a nice way in showing it -all seems well - clearly speaked and no rush as other youtube tutorials about this subject! THANKS BIG
Yoo thanks fam worked great now I can update my Logic Pro X 🙏
have you tried FCPX? does it work or are there any bugs?
@@cartar8634 FCPX ?
@@YS-MAC final cut pro x
@@cartar8634 ohh idk bro
Final cut works i use it
i will try to installed the big sur soon on my macmook pro 2012
Thank you. P.S. I hit the "like and the subscribe button."
Hi Matt. How often do you update? I always get nervous with new updates. I did the recent monetary one and my next update will probably be in a year lol.
Thanks heaps Matt, it worked so well!
Thanks So Much... Love from India...
Thank you so much
works for me thanks
I have installed Big Sur on my Mac Pro 5.1 mid 2012 2x2.4 Ghz Xeon, with OpenCore Legacy Patcher.😀 iMovie, Messenger and Xcode working.😀
Mid-2012
upgrade went great.
did you later encounter any issue? i also have mid 12
I already installed MAC OS Catalina, following your tutorial. It works perfectly for my MacBook Pro 2011 (earlier)! Thanks Mat! Now I’m going to try MAC OS Big Sur. Hopefully it will work!
Hi Mr. Ravi, how is your Mac 2011 working with Big Sur if you have installed. I want your feedback as I want to install Big Sur OS on my MacBook Pro 2011.
Dit it work?
@@drsurajpal, I tried installing Big Sur with Patched Sur and OpenCore Legacy Patcher as well, both the patchers work the same. But MacBook is laggy and gets hot every time with 2 or 3 apps open
Did it work ?? I have a MacBook early 2011 also and want to install
@@gfmrobb6207 I downgraded to Catalina, you can try Installing Big sur on MB 2011 if you have ssd and 8gb ram. But as Big Sur requires accelerated graphics, it takes 7-10 seconds just to close Safari, by that mean Machine becomes unusable.
Nice thank you
can't wait to do this on a late 2013 iMac!!!!!
yey! thanks
Karen alert
I was able to install the latest version of Ventura on a 2010 iMac 27" and it works flawless.
how it doesnt work for me bc patched sur is not there anymore
@@Alpxrr ruclips.net/video/McmO7xP4wvI/видео.html, I followed the instructions of this link. I downloaded Monterey first and I was able to successfully upgrade to Ventura with no problem.
Thanks, can you please help to set up 2 display on this same mac ?
After running the patched updater does the software updater then keep you up to date? or do you need to run through this every time? IE if you get to 11.5 can you go to 11.6 via software update or do you need to over write your system each patch?
Hello there:
I have managed to run Big Sur on my 2008 MacBook using OpenCore Legacy Patcher instead; as mine is identical to yours (mid-2008 MacBook A1278 with the upgraded Core 2 Duo P8600) sans the different keyboard layout, it should work for yours as well.
Thank you for the comment, maybe i will try on a 2010.
Thanks for the great video. IMPORTANT questions though @Matt Talks Tech . Can you do a recovery later on in the normal way? Or do you have to take a specific path using the patcher tool??
you can recover later
Thanks.
my mac is exactly same as the mac in the video, but has 16gb ram and 512ssd.. so will be installing this
Thank you Matt,
It initially didn’t work for me as you said if you need to erase (you run older than catalina) you can do format APFS, which it did not work for me it worked when I erased as Mac OS extended journal
Taking about 13:20
Talking*
can you do a video on how to run windows 10 in unsupported mac
It’s not too clear on the link, would a mid 2011 iMac work? Or would I need to make sure the you is upgraded/ what would it need to be at
Going to be doing this to a late 2012 Imac 21.5.
Same, but the 27”. How did it go?
@@TrentLight haven’t had the chance to do it yet.
How did it work for you??
This works perfectly. By the way I have MacBook Pro Late 2012 Retina Display.
Same
You happen to run Logic Pro on it now?
@Mario Madrid Thanks for the input but not everyone has $2500 burning a hole in their pocket. And many using Logic do so successfully on older MBP’s. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks anyhow!
Thanks
Thanks for the video it's very helpful.
How did you get the SSD and the original hard drive to be used together. Do you have a video for that? Thanks 😊👍
u get it on amazon
"you cannot upgrade to big sur from Mojave or older"
Apple: To upgrade, at least OS X Mavericks is required.
Me: which one do I have to trust
sir i have 2011 macbook i can install it on my mac ? now i am running high sierra
Shame that I couldn’t get this to work on my old MacBook Air, still good content though!
@@jennymichael6242 Stop spamming on Matt’s RUclips videos
Opencore legacy patcher supports 2009-2010 devices with graphics acceleration
How do updates work. Just through system preferences? Or do you need to do something special?
Fantastic tutorial 👌On my MacBook Pro 13 , after format and installing BigSur, on Start Up screen I got MDM protection!!! It ask for user name and password and I CAN'T provide!!! In this case I can't enter the OS. Any suggestions ?!?
Hi, if we had to do with the terminal the deactivation of the discrete graphic card(very common issue in the batch o 2011), will doing this cause the loss that configuration?(this loss would cause the failure to be back as discrete card would be active again). thanks in advance
considering big sur, but I bought a used mac and am not used to it. I just did the catalina upgrade. Do you have any kind of "Backup & Recover" tutorial? I am macbook pro 8,1
I was able to install BigSur on the notoriously impossible 2011 MacBook Pro (late) 😀 (Started out with High Sierra, used a patched to get Catalina, then BigSur)
is it working okay ?
@@PreetSingh-oo6co yes

You can actually use open core pathcher.
I've updated iMac 2011 27'' everything install fine apart from brightness doesn't work, also webpage scrolling slow, Please help any idea?
Just a quick question, is it imperative that you have an ssd drive or can you use big sur with just the normal storage and usb drive, thanks
I am on a old OS, OS X 10.9.5, to be exact. And it say's no mountable file systems, when I click on the DMG. The only reason why I am on this OS is because I bricked my Mac Mini, I had to do a sort of recovery mode by holding Command+R while starting the computer. And it reseted me to this OS. I am trying my hardest to not freak out but I know there is a way. If you can help, it would be highly appreciated. I would like to install Window's 7 or 10 so I can get back to where I was, before.
Can Big Sur/Patched Sur install on a "SATA" Hard Drive MacBook Pro (13-inches, mid 2012) with OSX Yosemite 10.10.5??

Trying this today on a MacBook Pro 2012 with Big Sur 11.4. Wish me luck
Any luck??
@@undergroundpromotionz7343 it didn’t work because I wasn’t able to create the USB installer. It kept producing errors. I don’t remember exactly what the error message was because it was a week ago, but I did Google the error message. The result was a GitHub page. I don’t think the installer has been fixed yet.
My 2017 MacBook Air has gotten really sluggish after the Meltdown and Spectre patches. How can I disable these patches or some how get back some of the performance by a workaround? My old Mac Pro 2013 has also gotten slower by this. Please help :-)
hey, if I download Big Sur onto a 2012imac can I connect it to a MacBook air with Big Sur as a second monitor?
Does it work on macbook air 2014? On the list of supported machines it only goes up to 2013
