    @Calphool222 19 годин тому

    I would tell anybody thinking of doing this that you really should make a Time Machine backup before doing this. The utility being described (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) *often* works, but sometimes, depending on your particular machine and what's been done to it over its lifetime, OCLP might get into a weird state. The code was written in a pretty conservative way, and so that means that if it encounters something that wasn't anticipated, it'll just stop working and leave you in a weird state. Sometimes that'll happen because it can't get the new OS installed. Sometimes it'll install it, but the Root Patches won't install (leaving your machine in a kind of unusable state).

    It worked great. I'm a Windows guy who lately started doing some work on Apple computers. Recently I inherited an iMac, from someone who upgraded because it wouldn't work with her banking. It's allowed to use it as a learning tool and I have learned a lot in a short time. I upgraded it from High Sierra to Sonoma. For example when I replaced the hard drive for an SSD the fan began to always run at full speed. Apparently Apple has some temp sensor on the hard drive that isn't on generic hard drives/SSDs. There's an app that gives you control over the fans.

    This exact thing just happened to me, and I did the same thing. I have a 2.9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 MacBook Pro. Command R worked, and the utility scan was okay. Then, I reinstalled the OS, and everything was fine. But it happened again in one week. The second time, I brought it to Apple to run diagnostics. Everything seemed okay, but the technician said I might have a hardware issue. :( Now, I feel unsafe with this computer. What are your thoughts? Should I do a full wipe of the computer? It’s working, but I feel like I might be ready for an upgrade. However, I still think this computer might have some life left in it. Thoughts?
