How to Install MacOS Big Sur on an unsupported Mac using Micropatcher
Watch my 2nd video on Patched Sur before proceeding as it may better suit your needs.
Please refer to Barry K Nathan’s Big Sur Micropatcher page on GitHub if you are confused by anything.My video only covers what I had to do to get Big Sur Beta downloaded and installed. https://github.com/barrykn/big-sur-micropatcher
Prepare USB installer with old supported version first of OSX if necessary: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372
Download macOS Big Sur Beta 11.0 (20A4300b).iso - http://download2230.mediafire.com/ka1r7wz2etig/k36q2yare1sc4bb/macOS+Big+Sur+Beta+11.0+(20A4300b).iso Found on: https://techspite.com/download-macos-big-sur-iso-image/ Make install media command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Install
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372
Next drag micropatcher.sh to the terminal window and then install-setvars.sh
Shut down, power on while holding the Alt key and initiate install.
When it is finished, do the same, but this time go into Terminal and type this command.
/Volumes/Image\ Volume/patch-kexts.sh /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD
You can start typing /V then press Tab each time to auto complete, the final “Macintosh\ HD” will be your Mac name, if your mac was called “Fred” you would type /Volumes/Image\ Volume/patch-kexts.sh /Volumes/Fred, pressing Tab will help here also if you know the first letter.
When finished, reboot and you should be good to go.
