IMPORTANT: After running a normal software update, run Post-Install Root Patch in the OpenCore Legacy Patcher application again. As @SirPalimPalim mentioned, if your Bluetooth isn't working (automatically turning off after turning it on), reset the PRAM/NVRAM by holding Option + Command + P + R on a reboot.

If your Bluetooth isn't working (automatically turning off after turning it on), reset the PRAM/NVRAM! That did the trick for me. :) Thank you for your tutorials!!
Good tip, thank you! I've added it to the pinned comment.
Upgrading from a HDD to an SSD on an older system REALLY makes an improvement.
I also have a late 2013 MacBook Pro and i did follow the instructions on your first video. Badaboom! It worked flawlessly.
I can finally use Garageband again, making this MacBook relevant again instead of a paperweight. :D
Thank you!
MB Air Early 2014 and IMac27” Late 2013 now in Sonoma!! Thank you for your help!! So happy!
Did a fresh install of Sonoma on a late 2013 27inch iMac using Legacy Patcher without a hitch.. Ran Post -install Root Patch after the reboot Mac specs- i5 3.4gh, 16gb 1600 ram, 3tb Fusion drive and 4gb Nvidia graphics. Aiis still running well after about 3months. Great content Anson. Keep it coming. 👍👍
Buddy, this is an excellent tutorial video. Especially showing the entire process and informing about the restarts was very helpful 🤝
This really cleared things up for me.
Great advice!
I followed your guide on an old laptop I had essentially written off (Late 2010 MacBook Air with the 2.13 Core 2 Duo) and I am shocked at how well this computer is running. I upgraded directly from OS X High Sierra without formatting and all of my user account info, files and settings were retained during the update to Sonoma. Pretty impressive that a computer that shipped with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) is still running a current OS 14 years later.
It's funny how its possible to run latest os on old computers, but apple doesn't support this feature, obviously they want to keep selling the latest computers so they don't develop latest os for older computers. The amount people that must of thought, okay can't upgrade to latest os, i'll buy a new computer.
I did an upgrade install from Mojave on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro and everything seems to be running fine and smooth so far.
It WORKED!!! MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2014 - The first thing I checked was Logic and it now works!!!! Thanks!!! I did not do a clean install. I had a Pro Video software update. It ran and updated without any issues.
Update: Everything worked without doing a fresh install. However, Logic Pro 10 would not update to Logic Pro 11. I subsequently did a fresh install and I was able to get the Logic Pro 11.
Glad I found this, not sure if I can update my old iMac Mid 2011, I got the ram masked out and the drive needs to be replace, but I can use the Ssd, I have done it for Snow Leopard and works great! Just using the old apps where the new OS can't do them.
Thanks👊
I've been using Opencore since 2021. It's been excellent on all the Mac's I've tested ranging from 2009 to 2017. I own a 2017 iMac now and it's been fantastic with 16GB of RAM and 500GB SSD.
Great to hear, I'm loving it as well!
Thanks
Been running Ventura on a 2012 Mac mini with a SSD and a 16 GB of ram upgrade and it’s been incredible I do wish the Mac Mini was a quad core but the dual core intel 2.5 hasn’t really been a problem and the 16GB of ram have been such a huge upgrade
That's awesome, are you considering upgrading to Sonoma?
Sanoma works like a charm on Mac mini 2012 i7 with 16GB, upgrade is worth! I didn’t do a clean install, upgrade path went well.
Presently I am installing Ventura using the unsupported option. I will try Sonoma later on. I am slowly getting rid of my Windows 10 and 11 computers. My iMac is an iMac late 2012 model.
Parabéns pelo vídeo. Seria possível vc disponibilizar a kext utilizada para o reconhecimento da sua VGA? Obrigado.
Installed Sonoma 14.5 on MacBook Pro Early 2011 13.3 model with a dual-core Intel i5 cpu about a week ago. Overall experience has been pleasant. Newer versions of programs I want to run can now be installed and work fine on Sonoma. Only glitch so far has been Firefox froze often. So, I removed it. Overall, it is noticeably slower loading programs, especially browsers. I have 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD drive. It has given new life to my old MacBook Pro.
Great video. Very helpful. I have iMac late 2009. It runs High Sierra. When trying to upgrade to Big Sur, using the USB installer, the installation process gets stopped after 2-3mn. A mouse animation & a disk animation appear followed by a link to apple support. I have a standard magic mouse and a usb-cabled keyboard. Your support is highly appreciated. Best, Antoine
I moved my late 2013 15" MacBook Pro to Linux Mint and use it as my daily driver for news on my kitchen counter. It's fast and works great! I bought a M2 Mac Mini and a 27" monitor as my daily driver for regular work. I'm please that Linux Mint isn't that much different than MacOS. Afterall, they both have Unix roots.
Hallo sir ,I like to thank for all your videos on mac ,I have upgraded my macbookpro late 2013 , my hdmi port is not detecting and wnever I switch on at thet time showes booteble drive disk ,please help me to short out
hi dear alexander
will u dot it on a mac pro early 2009 2x3,46 6 core intel xeon mac os mojave 10.14.6 with a nvidia quadro k 5000 4 gb ?
do u think it will be working good?
same step , that u explained in your previous video ?
many thanks , waiting for your suggestion
About your question 03:24 I DID do a complete hd clean and have a touchbar mac (T1 chip A1707). I thought everything was fine but then once logged in I couldn't change any preferences or login with my AppleID! No solutions I found would fix (reseting SMC or 'resetpassword' cmd in Recovery Mode).
Thankfully I backed up my EFI partition before wiping the drive because touchbar macs have a special firmware file "Firmware.scap" that's required to boot correctly. On older OS' the firmware should be automatically recoverable when missing (or its bricked until Apple updates there internet recovery servers) but since Sonoma doesn't support it you have to manually replace if you wipe your drive or downgrade and do an internet recovery.
The video is done really well but I would have liked to know the outcome of your other 2 videos BEFORE I followed this video to upgrade my OS. If you're thinking about doing this, PLEASE watch the other 2 videos in his series after this one on this topic.
I installed over the existing data on a 2015 MBP that had a 1TB SSD I'd installed and the build in 16 GB of Ram. I do audio production and have a ton of virtual instruments and plugins that don't seem to get reinstalled properly when coming from Time Machine to a fresh disk - they install fine but they no longer recognize being licensed to the machine. Takes a lot of time to sort out.
Experience so far has been great - the new os opened up an extra 100 GB on my SSD and so far everything except one plugin runs fine. It's not something I use very often so I'll just delete it and move on.
I had a problem when using my iPad as a second screen. It’s super glitchy and hazy, not sure what to do.
works for me... my macbook specs are same like yours.. thanks..the only thing im trying to do is to disable/hide the 2-3 seconds boot option screen..any solution for this? thanks in advance.
Try high serria it’s fast with my mid 2010 MacBook Pro and is the offical last os that you can install normally
Thank you for this video! I've been using OpenCore from a clean install on a iMac 27, 8.0 GB, late 2014, Sonoma (14.4), for about 2 months now, but lately I've been experiencing various apps such Messages, Apple Mail, Safari, etc crashing. I'm also getting unexpected behavior from my Apple wired extend keyboard and magic wireless mouse. Rebooting resolves all my issues, but eventually in under an hour or so everything starts crashing again, but not always. I've ensured to do all the post updates etc. I tried accessing OpenCore support, but the links provided don't seem to work. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance..... Rick
after your video i will be taking my old mac mini (late 2014) to sonoma. the main computer is windows 11 . so I'll make a back up and start on the mission 😂
Sounds good, would love to hear how it goes!
@@AnsonAlexander Update.
I did the upgrade yesterday, the machine had the following characteristics: Processor 2.6 dual core I5
Graphics intel iris 1536mb
Ram 8gb 1600MHz Ddr3
Ssd 1tb evo.
The process took more or less 6 hours. 1 hour for the data back up on a usb that I had 256gb. also two hours to fix the usb with the sonoma on a usb 3.1 (Kingston 32gb). after 2 hours the software installation. and in the last hour I ran into a problem that for some reason did not see my ssd and I had to make a partition (1024mb fat32) to work the machine without the usb. it was a very nice process for me because I learned something more.patcher v1.3.0.
And last the machine works a little slowly but it does the job I want it to do.
I did a fresh install as well on my mid-2015 15" MBP. The post-install menu in OCLP app is showing me that all applicable patches are installed, so I'm guessing I shouldn't have to run it again. The only thing I've noticed so far is that it spins up the fans really loud when the wallpaper animates as a screen saver on the lock screen. It takes a few minutes for them to cycle down, so I disabled that animation feature.
My 2015 MBP had been working well on Sonoma but today hangs after the login screen. I have the patches installed. Tried a fresh install but it says can't downgrade (must have subsequently updated to something newer?). Doesn't load in safe mode but does into recovery mode. No idea what to try now!
I run into an issue recently. Quite a few times when I turn on the laptop it will be white background. Last time I fixed it by installing the root patcher. This time it just stuck at the the log in screen after I input the password. I wonder if you have any idea on how to fix it without losing any data? Appreciate it.
Can i use it as my daily driver does it have any bugs
Got Sonoma 14.3 up and running with no problem whatsoever, my question is: Do I have to apply the OpenCore patch before updating every time, seeing that there is an update available? Thanks, great videos, extremely helpful. Greetings from the UK.
It’s best to it every time AFTER running the normal software update - great question
The iMacs I've worked on are so easy to upgrade the RAM. You only need to remove a cover on the underside of the monitor.
Hello!
I am using a 2017 imac and wondering if I can use a SD card instead.
Also, I am running Windows 10 on an older macbook so could I use this method with that? The partition to get back to Mac OS was deleted and I want to know if I can do it anyway.
Thanks!
There is a way to install Mac OS on external device as well. There is a good youtube tutorial on it just search for how to install Mac OS on external drive just follow that and install it on your sd card.
Peace
I used 4KDownloader but after uprade when I download videos they are empty (0ko) or non saved...
Hi! I'm trying to install opencore on 2015 MacBook Pro 15" and when I restart the computer to get the EFI Boot option, it doesn't show up. I press the option button, the installer is on the external USB. What could be the problem? I'm on Big Sur, and the SSD in it was changed already to OWC Aura. Maybe that could be an issue? Thanks!
Hey, interesting situation, especially with the replaced SSD. First of all, make sure you're building the installer on that computer, on the Big Sur installation. If you already did that, I would definitely try it first with another flash drive, or even just wiping the USB and rebuilding the installer. After that, I would (maybe) consider wipe the SSD and doing a fresh install of Big Sur (if it's been a while) and then building the installer again. Hope you figure it out, would love to hear back if you do. Good luck!
Thanks , my iMac 21.5 inch , mid 2010 . It hangs after the first boot I cannot upgrade from high sierra to sonoma
I just tried to install on my 2017 macbook pro however halfway through it stops reboots and brings up the install sonoma page again
I’m trying to get Sonoma on my 2008 iMac. Everything was going well until the OS was loading. The macOS update assistant popped up telling me there was an unknown error. I tried it again with the same result.
Can you tell me how to find out if my macbook pro is compatible? Thanks
Tried to load 14.5 on my late 2012 iMac but started to get flaky and slowdown with artifacts
Will reinstall with earlier OS
Not quite there yet!!
I have Macbook pro late 14 running BigSur os. however during reboot, it showed “this copy of install macOS Sonoma application is damaged, and can’t be used to install macOS”
i tried 2 types using different usb drive still the same.
appreciate your help
did you get how to resolve it? i'm issuing the same here
Installed the macos sonoma 14.5 in my MacBook pro mid 2010 .challenges 1
showing cpu information while powering it
2 no display wallpaper just a black screen. Any help to me will be appreciated
I followed all of the steps in the 1st tutorial, and It keeps telling me to install opencore to my Internal Hard Drive. I have done this at least 5 times, and it still says I need to install it on my internal drive. Can you please help?
Can anyone help me! I have MacBook pro 2012 and have unsupported update as shown here, all good. But I recently reset the SMC (don't do it!) and now have black screen. I've tried different things, but nothing!
Funny😂😂:” Fresh clean new Mac feeling”
Installed SONOMA to Macbook air mid 2013. all running well until it tried plug Mini Display Port to HDMI Monitor/Projector. it wont show up. anyone experienced the same?
Hey i upgraded my mid 2010 MacBook Pro from high sierra to sonoma But ihave aproblem when starting it it displays many words and desk top is balck no sonoma what should I do 😢
Hi, great tutorial, although I have run into a slight problem, whenever I install opencore onto the hard drive and restart and afterwards take my usb drive out and later restart again, my computer bluescreens and shows that it needs recovery by the usb drive. And when I restart it again using the usb drive the same issues occur.
Help would be greatly appreciated, please let me know if this can be fixed by wiping the computer clean or if it seems like a hardware issue or something else.
Having the same issue the EFI install to main hd is not working???
@@karldawson510oh I fixed it, hold option on restart and startup with one of the disk opencore thingies, then it works
Yeah I did the same but the edit partition does not appear to select. I am wiping the disk and trying a reinstall
Hello Sir
My backlight stopped working after updating can you plese help me with this issues
I have a 2015 MacBook Pro, and I just updated it to Sonoma. I noticed that my battery is draining faster than normal. Is there something I can do to fix that? Thank you.
I also have mid-2015 MBP, and I'm keeping an eye on that too. I had the battery recently replaced by Apple, so if it looks like this Sonoma upgrade is draining the battery too fast, I'll probably go back to Monterey which is the last macOS fully suported on this model.
I upgraded my MacBook pro2012 to Sonoma I cleared the hard disk and did everything else right but my MacBook still slows down and malfunctioned sometimes
i wanna do this on my late 2013, 27inch Imac but im a bit scared about its outcome and not sure if it will be good for me in the long run
Is it your primary computer?
not really, its an old mac which i wanna put more use too
@@AnsonAlexander
Good tutorial and information, however for my 2014 13" MBP it is a fail. The OS seems to work OK, I am using it now. However, since 14.5 apps often quit unexpectedly. The use of the cursor keys, right click or ctrl click causes this to happen on multiple apps including Finder, Safari, Calendar and more. It means it is almost unusable. I am using it now, but am trying to remember not to hit a cursor key or I will lose this post before posting! It's almost as if Apple are fighting back against this with the 14.5 update!
Does doing this actually make the computer faster because I saw a comment stating that their mac ran faster using sonoma.
Hey. Watched your video on installing macOS Sonoma but for some weird reason when I do the installation it will just reboot back into the recovery mode from the flash drive. Much thanks in advance
At what point of the installation process did you end up getting to? Did you try the safe mode reboot?
@@AnsonAlexander yeah I did exactly that and I was able to get it installed. Thanks so much. Got another question. I was thinking of doing bootcamp. Do you think this is possible with the current set up ?
Awesome, great to hear! It should be, I have BootCamp on my iMac running Sonoma.
@@AnsonAlexander I tried to run bootcamp but for some reason it didn’t pop up when I held option I’ll try and again and see if
I have been using an MacBook Pro Early 2015 8Gb on Sonoma with no problems until yesterday I have decided to sell it and deleted my user and created a new one for the new owner , since then the system is stuttering every 4 seconds. I have tried everything even a fresh reinstall, post patch installer , nothing worked. I have to go back to native Monterrey for the stuttering stop 😢
Hello so I tried it and WiFi isn’t working what do I do?
Yesterday I tried installing the lastest update to Sonoma that Apple released. During the install process my 2014 MacBook Pro that was running Sonoma previously froze, so I did a hard reboot. When my desktop came back on, the mouse is frozen. If I try to reinstall the drive with the USB flash drive, I just get a black screen. If I boot up with out it, the mousepad doesn't work. I tried connecting a mouse to it via USB cable, but that didn't work. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!
I think a PRAM rest (Command + Shift + P + R) on startup should do the trick. May have to use an external keyboard but I'm able to use the built-in MBP keyboard for this.
@@AnsonAlexander truly appreciate your help. Should I do that with the USB flash drive installed or no?
@@AnsonAlexander thank you. I tried that, and was able to restore everything back to Big Sur. I have been trying to reinstall Sonoma for three days (since Friday morning). Every time I try it says there is an HTTP error. I tried installing OCLP 1.4.2, and even went back to 1.0.3, which is where I started, but even this is taking me hours on the "Creating Installer: Install macOS Sonoma" step (today alone has been over 3 hours
Anybody has an early 2011 MacBook Pro? After installing Sonoma it takes three tries to login and the top menu bar disappeared. It gives me a loginwindow quit unexpectedly error.
The iMac 2011 gets stuck after the reboot. TO be more specific, I start installing Sonoma and after the first reboot (should be 3 normally), nothing happens. I guess this 2011 iMac is too old for Sonoma... am trying now with Monterey.
The steps you laid out were pretty simple but so far i've tried multiple times and keep getting the error : "This copy of the Install macOS Sonoma application is damaged, and can't be used to install macOS. I've tried 2 different USB sticks, and tried with Wifi on and off. This is a Mac Pro Late 2013 (trashcan one). Not sure what else i can try
did you get how to resolve it? i'm issuing the same here
@@kephasmnc i did! i ended up using a 3rd different USB stick and it just worked
@@johnnyd1110 glad to hear it! I was almost giving up. I'll try with a better usb stick. Thanks
3:11 Clean Install
Does Open core app have to be in the Apps folder for it to work?
It's actually not there. The installation puts an alias (shortcut) in Applications for easy access, but the app itself is actually in /Library/Application Support/Dortania. You can probably move the alias to wherever you want, but I would not move the real app from its location if I were you.
Should I update my M1 air to Sonoma, I have been debating it out of fear of an issue occurring (I would be updating from Ventura)
M1 is one of the newest MacBooks, go ahead and update and don't consider stuff for old MacBooks like 2012 and so on xD
That model is fully supported by Apple for macOS Sonoma, so this video series doesn't apply. That being said, if you're comfortable with Ventura, and you don't have a specific reason to upgrade to Sonoma (apps that require it), Ventura will still be fully supported by Apple for one more year after the next macOS is released (usually in October). Apple fully supports the most recent three versions of macOS. As of this writing, it is Sonoma, Ventura, and Monterey. When they release a new macOS version later this year, they'll drop Monterey, but Ventura will still be in the list for one more year. You can defer upgrade until you really have to.
I’m getting a refurbished 2017 MacBook Air with 128gb of storage is that enough to upgrade to Sonoma if I wipe the hard drive clean?
Storage-wise, yes, but make sure it has more than 8 GB of RAM to run macOS and your apps decently. 16 GB is ideal.
@@dmnddog7417 Bro!🙂I have the 8gb one but I upgraded my storage to 512 GB and with Sonoma I’m getting developer updates I hope I’m not screwing myself 🙂
My MacOs is so old that I can't even use the patcher which is pretty sad. What should I do? There is a message telling me that I need at least 10.10 but I have 10.9.5
What are the specs of the computer? Like what year and model is it?
I did an upgrade to Sonoma 2 months ago on an MacBook Air 2013 , USB boot , no problem . Now Im trying to do the same on another MBA 2013 and it won't let me . Any ideas ?
Are you using the same OpenCore installer or did you create a new one? If it’s the same one, try creating a new one on the second MBA
@@AnsonAlexander I created a new one , but it didn't work .
Did you wipe the MBA clean?
I did successfully upgrade from Catalina to Sonoma 14.5 with my MacBook Pro I5 Mid 2012 16GB RAM. I used the clean install and here are my observations
a. I am having problem with making any windows/program to maximize screen size the program just hang and i have to force shut down the laptop
b. MS Teams always hangs, slow response, sometimes it auto close, then I will need to force shut down the laptop
c. Serial Number became unavailable on the system information
For now, I will try to downgrade and check what will be compatible especially on MS teams.
Thank you
My Mac is 2011 Late IMovies is not work.
hi are there any chances that apple can block my Apple ID if I try it ?
No apple won't do that. Anyways you are using it on an apple hardware. Even if you would be using it on a Hackintosh apple wont block your apple id. Whatever you do with your machine is not illigal. Making a software and distributing it is againt the apple policy as far as i know.
I have installed MacOS 14.3.1(Sonoma) & OCLP 1.4.3 on my Mac Pro(2012) CPU: Dual Xeon 3.46 GHz, 48 Gb ram, RX 580 8 Gb. 😀

Overheating issue with noisy fan. How you fix this?
This may be what I'm experiencing as well. I only noticed it with the animated wallpaper as screen saver, so I disabled that feature.
I have a supported Sonoma Mac but I didn't upgrade to it since people said that it ran slower then Ventura. Does anyone else here have that same experience?
I bought a new Mac Book last November operating Sono a and can’t poster print from it. I have to go back to the old desktop and use windows whenever I need to poster print. Very frustrating! Apple says it is an Adobe issue but no one seems to be fixing this.
What app are you trying to poster print from? What happens when you try?
I’m using the free Adobe Reader app. I don’t need anything more complicated than that (well, I never have before!). When I open up the print menu the “poster” option is greyed out and can’t be accessed. I’ve gone to “advanced” and there find a box which is permanently ticked that says something about “image print only supported”. Apparently it’s a known bug that they will presumably get around to fixing sometime but as Apple seems to be so popular with creative and designing type people you’d think they might prioritise correcting it. I need to poster print sewing patterns as I make dance costumes.
@@marilynwestbrook2678 Well, if it's an Adobe Reader issue, Apple doesn't have responsibility to fix it, Adobe does. Make sure that you have the appropriate driver for your printer installed. It kinda sounds like a printer driver function to me. Have you tried opening and printing the document with Apple's Preview application? It comes with every Mac and it's the default PDF and image viewer. For the majority of simple things you need to do with PDF, you don't need Adobe Acrobat on a Mac.
I have 3 annoying issues on my mbp 2015:
1- changing my language via keyboard shortcuts doesn't work only after multiple attempt
2- finder and some other apps crashes and it only work after restart
3- secondary click doesn't work with 2 fingers
I had some issues. after watching your video I did that with my MacBook Pro 2015. 8GB RAM ( I install it without wiping the disk)
Issue:
When I put my MacBook to sleep for a long period example I put it on sleep mode and if I open it after a few hours it doesn't wake up, I have to press the power button to turn it on.
The performance is also bad, it works slowly when opening closing apps.
What should I do?
Reinstall it with wiping the disk or downgrade to old OS (Monterey)
Thanks for your videos!
I'm assuming you've run all of the Post-Install Root Patches, have OpenCore Legacy Patched installed to the disk and have enough hard drive space. If all of that is true, I would really try it after wiping the HD, it just clears up a lot of crap that accumulates over the years. A fresh install really makes a big difference.
@@AnsonAlexander Thanks for your reply.
Today I tried it again after wiping HD, and now my mac running perfectly without any issues.
Everything is so smooth!!
Chill!!!
Hey @Anson I got a question how to install apps like edition programas I can’t installed. Please let me know how to do it.
Appstore app downloading working or not?
Yep, just downloaded Word for Mac to confirm.
IMPORTANT Q! During gaming does your laptop have alot of lag after installing sonoma?
I tried it and it was slower than snails. I tried it for a day and it took way too long to load anything. I went back to the original OS.
High serria runs fine it is the offical last is for mid 2010 MacBook Pro try ssd and ram upgrade as well
true, its very slow so stupid i upgraded my macbook now i will downgrade it again
What does 'unsupported' Mac mean?
Does this break my bootcamp installation I still want to boot into Windows occasionally?
I have this same question too! Will it affect any other existing partitions?
Having issues with the lock screen. It gets unresponsive and I have to restart everytime. Hope you can help. Everything else runs smoothly except this.
If you left the animated wallpaper feature on, try disabling that.
Hi So is it possible to install sonoma on a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro 9.2 running on 4GB Ram?? As i’ve been trying but it gets stuck on Apple Logo with no Loading Bar for hours upon installation ??
open core dosnt exicst in my application folder!!!!!
im like 70 :)
i have macbook pro mid 2017, i updated Sonoma, i kept using it for three months, its very slow and stupid i wish i didn't do it, now i will downgrade and erase everything to bring it back to life
So why make the video
Great tutorial however ran into some issues. Installed this on my 2012 MBP i'm getting error messages pop up from nsattributedstringagent. And the following activities VTDecoderXPCService and audiomxd is making my cpu and fans sporadically run high. Oh and I had computer freeze up and kernel panic the other day. How can I solve these?
I'm assuming you did everything else mentioned in the video. Honestly, I haven't seen any comments come in about these error messages. Are you using a specific application aside from common ones when this is happeneing?
@@AnsonAlexander Yes I did. Well one is Dropbox which I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I had also restored my time machine backup files in migration, but it ended with some sort of error saying it couldn't complete due to incompatible system.
Did you do a PRAM reset?
@@AnsonAlexander Yes and it's still the same
Probably have to reinstall again and see how it runs without attempting to bring in the Time Machine backup. I always do clean installs when upgrading to a new OS to get everything running new again.
