#Mac pro mid 2012 how to#
If you do not know how to do this google it or watch a youtube video. Let's start, you first are going to make a bootable USB with the macOS 12 beta 1. How to installīefore you attempt make a backup of your drive I am not responsible if you damage your machine. I know there are lots of Macs that don't support this patcher but dont worry support will come soon. (The Potential Support status means that this patcher has not been tested on these Macs do at your own risk) (Macs that are not supported by this Patcher for Monterey) Mac Pro Early 2009 (Note CPU, GPU and WIFI might need to be upgraded and needs to be flashed from a 4,1 to a 5,1 Mac Pro and sound might not work) Mac Pro Mid 2010 (Note CPU, GPU and WIFI might need to be upgraded and sound might not work) IMac Mid 2015 5K 27 inch (Potential Support for Monterey)

(This Patcher can also be used to patch Big Sur)(This Patcher Works with Beta versions of macOS Montery) (Macs Supported by this Patcher for Monterey) However, I will never again own a computing device that will work as hard, as reliably, for such a long time as my trusty mid 2012 15" MBP.The macOS Monterey Patcher is availible for a few unsupported macs hope in the future that more macs will be compatible, for now the macs that are compatible will be listed below.
The new M series processors are a harbinger that the time for such a change is approaching sooner than later. I am aware that eventually, I will have to break down and buy a new MBP. While the new MBPs are lighter and have longer battery life, they hold little performance edge over this machine in my day to day use of the machine as INTEL has done little to really advance processors in a meaningful way over the years since this machine was designed.
This machine is fast, reliable and delight to use. The logic board nor the display on this machine have ever faltered.
#Mac pro mid 2012 upgrade#
I upgraded the machine to Big Sur using a popular patching program along with an upgrade to the latest Broadcom WiFi/BT card (thanks to an enterprising young man) and am running 11.2 currently with no issues outside the ones that are plaguing even the newest MBPs. Both fans have been replaced and most recently I replaced the right side speakers as the woofer section had started to rattle. I have replaced the keyboard only ONCE in that entire time. The 1TB HDD is still used as an in-machine Time Machine drive for Big Sur. I upgraded to 1TB SSD and a 1TB HDD and moved to APFS once Catalina came along using the HDD as an in-machine daily clone backup drive (used SuperDuper until Big Sur negated the ability to easily create a bootable clone). I upgraded the SSD to a larger one and rolled the SSD and HDD into a FUSION drive using the tools apple made available to anyone comfortable with the command line, which I ran with zero issues for several years. I swapped out the super drive (CD/DVD burner) for an SSD (initially a relatively small one to just hold the OS). I upgraded the HDD several times (started life as a 256MB HDD).

This machine has a full compliment of ports with NO dongles needed! I upgraded the ram over time to its max 16GB. This machine was the last of the totally user repairable notebooks Apple made. Without question, a fine example of solid engineering. My daughter gave me this machine as a christmas present in late 2012. I am among those still using a mid 2012 non-retina 15" MBP.
