I am currently running Ventura on my mid 2011 imac, and i was wondering if i can run windows 11 on it? i have tried it in the past on diff machines but failed, so was wondering if there were methods i can do to fully have windows 11 on my machine?
thanks
also i have 16gb ram and 256gb SSD with 2TB backup drive
opencorelegacypatcher.net is a typosquatting site full with annoying ads. It has nothing to do with the previous 2 cases of typosquatting. Likely they intentionally place ads so on those ads are clicking bots. It is again designed to look professional and the binaries are hosted on their own servers. Sometimes, clicking on Source code (zip) on the download page redirects to Dortania’s official repository instead.
Strangely enough, the SHA256 certificates of the packages matched Dortania’s own when I checked the last time a couple of months ago.

Hello!
I have installed macOS Sequoia 15.7.7 on my Macbook Pro Mid-2015. Eveything works except for "Hey Siri" and of course the Apple iPhone Mirror. (Hey Siri won't work due to the lack of the low power chip needed; the iPhone Mirror will not due to no T2 chip) Anyway, is there any reason to upgrade Sequoia to Public Beta or Developer 15.7.8? Can I even do this? Thanks!!!
As you may have seen in my recent post the saved, resurrected, and now working g4, I shall also show the other Mac’s that have been saved from Gary, ups the count to 2 Mac pros and a power Mac :p
IF THIS IS POSTED TO OPENCORE LEGACY PATCHER, PLEASE LET THIS POST STAY, I'M IN DESPERATE NEED FOR ANSWERS & SUPPORT RIGHT NOW!!!!
[EB:LOG:EXITBS:START] [Or something like that] is that line, the one I keep getting stuck on, the one that questions if I should give up now or never, it's the one that makes me nearly give up on hope, but I realized that I have you guys!
Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-1335U
GPU: Intel Iris Xe [-igfx is put in boot-args in config.plist]
Storage: NVMe [Not that it matters anyways]
Wi-Fi Card: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX203 [Not that it matters anyways, again]
Memory: DDR4-3200 MHZ
Laptop Model:
Lenovo Ideapad 1 15IRU7 15.6"
Additional Notes:
I am aware that I will get the most slideshow experience yet, and I'm willing to stick with a powerpoint presentation rather than no macOS at all. Also, this could be pointing to a BIOS/Firmware issue because I can confirm that I have tried everything, changing a trillion configuration settings, reading the entire Opencore install guide, using third-party kexts, everything, but nothing seems to work.
My Config.plist:
https://drive.google.com/drive/home?dmr=1&ec=wgc-drive-%5Bmodule%5D-goto
PLEASE, I want SOMEBODY to find a solution! I'm inviting all the Reddit nerds for once, sweat on your screen thinking of ideas, I'll be glad!
I have not followed any kind of Raptor lake guide to this and have used the Dortiana [Or something like that] to my advantage, specifically the comet lake guide and I have a friend of mines who has done this successfully on a Dell laptop, and he’s given me some tips which I’ve used such as some kexts and config.plist changes, even though he used Opcore simplify, I have not and I don’t know how to really show to you that I’ve used Dortiana to guide me
I just got an 11 Inch MacBook Air from 2015 and meanwhile Monterey isn't bad, I still want to give it new life, even tho the 4 Gigs of RAM will be a issue. So, shall I go on Ventura or Sonoma? Or do you think I should stay on Monterey?
opencorelegacypatchers.com is a typosquatting site. It tries to look professional in order to steal traffic from Dortania’s repository. Not sure if it has malware because it’s not possible to test it in Triage since it demands for password inside Triage. It has nothing to do with the previous case - it’s completely different one.
I have a Mac Pro 5,1 that I've been propping up for years. It's been a great machine and has some serious longevity. You all know this, that's why you're here. Apple just pulled a really dirty trick on me.
I've been running my 5,1 on MacOS 12.7.6. I'm very careful about turning off automatic updates. Last night I got a wild hair to repurpose my machine as my household media server. Everything was going great until... suddenly immediately after a reboot, my wifi would not connect despite having done so effortlessly just a few minutes ago.
So first step, I tried reinstalling my root patches. It starts going through the processes as normal, tells me it's capable of patching, then it errors out with this:
- SystemVersion.plist build version mismatch: found 26.3.1 (25D2128), expected 12.7.6 (21H1320)
An update is in progress on your machine and patching cannot continue until it is cancelled or finished
- Unmounting root volume
- Failed sanity checks, cannot continue with patching!!!
- Please ensure that you do not have any updates pending
So I did the dance, and brought my machine over to where I can plug it into the internet via cable - I get the same thing.
So I try removing the "upgrade" via Terminal and although it seems like it's done something, once I reboot it hasn't. Stuck at the same place.
So I decided to try to do a 'dirty install' of my 12.7.6 over the top of my previous build. And here's where I know that Apple is up to some really dirty tricks - Even though my system is still running 12.7.6 and everything is working except for the root patches, when I try to install on my main disk I get a message that "MacOS cannot be downgraded".
So here's the thing - even though my system is still running 12.7.6 and I have not authorized it to start installing OS26, the system is tricked into thinking that the upgrade process has begun JUST BY DOWNLOADING THE UPDATE IN THE BACKGROUND.
This feels like a slap in the face to us OCLP users. I mean c'mon, we already know we're at EOL why do this nasty little certificate upgrade trick while downloading the OS in the background just to make it difficult for us who are extending the life of our machines. We know we're at the end of the road, why you gotta mess with us?
My only recourse at this point is to format the drive and start completely over.
Enshitification at it's finest.
x86Support Theory: So I updated to Golden Gate and decided to clean my drive up a bit so looking through my internal drive I found a folder called x86Support under [Your main drive's name]/System/x86Support and was wondering if this is the program that bridges some intel apps to macOS, if so then why not we use the power of transforming applications into operating system based executables for macOS Golden Gate support?
Rosetta Theory: I found about Rosetta and just like my x86Support theory, I also think this can be used to not only bridge intel apps, but be used to make kexts to patch the installer (OpenCore)
Anyone having any idea what graphics card for my iMac 21.5 inch mid 2009 that would be the best option?
I want it to be metal compatible, at least be able to run under Sonoma/sequoia.
It’s running sequoia as we speak but yeah, not that good and from my understanding it means my “bios” is updated to the latest for flashed graphics card or whatever?
I’ve been reading a lot about different graphics but afraid to buy the wrong one, one that doesn’t work on my iMac or just not the best one.

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to get macOS Tahoe running on my 2017 21.5" iMac (iMac18,2), but I've been stuck for days because my OpenCore EFI doesn't boot correctly.
My hardware:
Model: iMac18,2
CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 (Kaby Lake)
GPU: Radeon Pro 560 (4 GB Polaris)
RAM: 8 GB
My internal Tahoe installation is already there. I just need a working OpenCore EFI that can boot it.
I've tried:
OCLP 3.0.0 nightly
OCLP 2.4.1
Manually copying the generated EFI
Creating BOOTx64.efi manually
Building on both macOS and Windows
The EFI is detected by the iMac, but it either goes to a permanent black screen or kernel panics.
Would someone with a similar iMac18,2 or experience with Tahoe + OCLP 3.0.0 be willing to build an EFI for me or share a working one?
If any additional information (serials, logs, config.plist, etc.) is needed, I'm happy to provide it.
I'd really appreciate any help. This machine has become my personal boss fight 😭. Thanks!
Can someone help me with finding the right adapter and the cheapest for changing from hdd to ssd on my mid 2009 iMac?
And some options for a cheap ssd?
Looking for some info on this but haven’t found any certain answers. My computer works great but I am unable to update many apps now due to OS restrictions
I managed to score a late 2013 iMac for free. I think the guy had plans for OCLP and said he got it working, but it still had Maverick on it so I think he may have hit a wall and abandoned it. I just happened to have recently wiped and updated the wife's 2015 Air to Sequoia so it seemed fortuitous that this popped up and I hopped on it.
Come to find out it's top of the line, 3.5 GHz i7 and GTX 780M. I tossed two more sticks of memory in it to make 32GB, then managed to snag a new aftermarket 512GB Apple SSD on eBay for cheap for the OS instead of the mechanical 1TB drive it came with (I left that in there just because). The guy even gave me a magic mouse with it, so for a few bucks and a bit of my time to disassemble/reassemble the machine and to install Sequoia I'm pretty happy.
But … I don't know what to do with it. Everyone in the house has at lease one personal computer, I have a mini PC running Plex and other basic home network stuff, there is a computer in the kitchen and the garage, and the Pi 4 has Batocera. So what do you think, what can I do with this thing?
This was saved from an electronics recycler (yay) now the real question, Sequoia? Maybe even Tahoe? MacOS28 when it comes out? Anyways power Mac g4 😅
Follow-up on my previous post, I believe my title was too vague and inconcise, my bad, I found this video by Mr. Macintosh and was wondering whether I could follow the same instructions and not run into anything that would prevent me from doing so?
I run a busy tattoo shop. Currently using a less than optimal HP All In One with very little RAM as our front desk. Slow and incompatible with most of our artists using Apple products. We'd like to be able to Airdrop and use other Apple features, and hopefully get a bit better performance overall.
My sister gave me a Late 2013 21.5" iMac running Catalina. I've wiped it using Disk Utility and done a fresh install.
I don't know much about MacOS. I know this model has a soldered non-upgradable HDD, which from what I've read won't fly for newer versions, so I've also ordered a 1 TB SSD with an external enclosure to hopefully install Sonoma or Sequoia on. I've also saved some threads about modifying fan speeds, but I'd like more input on that as well.
My question is: will this work? Will it be feasible as our main workhorse or am I better off buying something used but newer? We're mostly running off Google here, so I need to be able to update to the latest version of Chrome.
Thanks in advance!
