This tutorial is so amazing! I've just installed Ventura on my 2011 iMac. I'm amazed that there is still life left in this old machine after so many years. Back in about 2016 it killed the graphics card and I took it to the Apple shop for help. They were not interested and told me to dump it and buy a new one. They said it would cost around GBP700 to replace the graphics card. So I gave up on the machine, but I did not throw it away. It remained in my garage in its box for the next 3 years. Then about three years ago I decided to take matters into my own hands and fix it myself. I bought a used graphics card from eBay and it worked for about six months and then died again. So I then bought a new graphics card from China for around $200 and that card has been working for about two years now. Then I faced Apple's obsoletion of the machine. I tried a hack to upgrade it to Big Sur a few years back but it kept on crashing, so I went back to High Siera. Until today when I decided to do more research about upgrading and then I found this video!  Thank you!!

You're an incredible resource.

@WildernessMindset

this might be the best, most organized and planned out computer tutorial I've ever watched. Thanks for making it so clear.

Just upgraded my work 2014 Pro to Ventura 13.6.3 with the latest oclp 1.3 and worked first time. The pace of your videos is perfect with you covering everything, awesome work Mr. Mac and thank you.

Fantastic. I upgraded my mid-2012 retina 15" laptop from Catalina to Ventura without a hitch! Thanks so much. 🙂

@whatever3043

Perfect tutorial. With this I updated my Mid 2014 MacBook 16GB RAM to Ventura. And what actually shouldn't be possible, but I have the impression that the computer runs a little faster...

@mattcarrico7125

Success! Just updated my mid-2012 MBP 13" with upgraded 16GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. Did the erase and fresh install method and it runs like a champ with Ventura. Can now run the latest version of Logic Pro X. Many thanks!!

@MiDiCur

This is without doubt on of the best tutorials I have seen. I did look at OCLP in the past. My first attempt then failed. Today I looked at it again and was able to upgrade from Catalina on my Macbook Pro 13 inch, Mid 2012 to Big Sur 11.7.1 and run the update to 11.7.9. When I’m don with running all the updates of outdated apps I’m going to try to install Ventura, this will get me in line with our other mac’s in the house. Thanks for this great tutorial.

@axelsalvadoran

My MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), worked! I thought I needed to buy a new Mac. Thanks for giving my MacBook another life!

@juicythedj750

Thanks again for putting the effort in this updated tutorial. The previous tutorials have been of great help! And thanks to the guys at OCLP of course! Running MacOS Ventura on a 2017 MacBook Air, 2012 MacBook Pro and even a 2009 iMac :)

@hcgervais

I love my 2014 iMac with its beautiful 27" display and was gutted when it fell off the Apple Supported list. But I figured that I just had to live with OS 11 until I bought my next desktop. That is until I stumbled across OCLP and your excellent tutorial.  Thank you so much!!  

The process was long (very slow data connection here in the English countryside) but it went smoothly thanks to your tutoring at every single step. I am delighted with my new functionality - and so pleased that there is a pathway for future releases.  This team has thought of everything.  

Have been exercising my machine for most of the day and so far ... everything is working and no issues with the work rate.  Have subscribed to your channel and look forward to staying in touch and up to date. 

Best wishes, Humphrey

Previously used opencore to upgrade mid-2014 MacBook Pro to Mojave. Decided to try Ventura with the GUI version of  OpenCore (0.6.8) using your video as a guide. Very concise instruction with helpful tips, no useless info. It took several tries to get an EFI that would boot, I don’t know what the problem was. Once that happened, Ventura installed but I had to run the root patcher to get the graphics and mouse working right. The unsupported MacBook is now running Ventura 13.6, which is a later version than my supported iMac (13.5.1). Thank you!

@coachg612

Never mind my last comment. I went b ack and re-watch your video and solved my own problem. Great videos, keep them coming!!

@billsfone

Thanks for this video. It took me 3 tries but I finally got it done. I have a mid 2011 iMac and could not update past High Sierra. Some advice, make sure your old OS is in good shape. Maybe do a clean install of the current OS before you start. Then, make sure you do a clean install of Ventura (erase the current HD) and then install. Finally, have a wired USB keyboard and mouse ready to go in case the install does not recognize your Apple Bluetooth keyboard. May not need it but better to be safe than sorry. Then GO!

Excellent: Mac min 2012 i7 (“server”), Catalina to Ventura 13.6 exactly as described, working perfectly (touch wood) with no subjective slowdown. Chose the upgrade path, so far no glitches. Excellent content, thank you

@talos86

Just upgraded my 2011 mid imac from High Sierra to Ventura. Great guide! The process took almost 5 hours, but the machine runs flawless.

@mvrck-pb5pk

Mr. Macintosh videos: OCLP upgrades made understandable and therefore easy to follow. Another great video, thank you!
