Has anyone tried installing macOS Sierra on a (now) unsupported Mac - e.g. A 2009 MacBook Pro? I'm sure that it would be perfectly possible for it to run on there - I'd imagine its very similar to El Capitan, and they're not supporting older Macs due to Siri etc. MacOS High Sierra automatically checks a Mac's EFI firmware against Apple's database of 'known good' data to ensure it hasn't been tampered with, according to a series of tweets from an Apple. Is anyone running OS Sierra on an unsupported Mac? I have a mid 2009 13' MacBook Pro that is running El Capitan. I upgraded the HD to an SSD several years ago.

(not really interested in going to High Sierra at this point.) I see there is a patch tool, called 'macOS Sierra Patcher Tool for Unsupported Macs' at Dosdude1.com. My only concern is that the MBP is used by my wife, who is non techie, and just wants the computer to work! System Integrity Protection (SIP) has to be disabled for the patch to work, and I don't know if that will cause any weird issues going forward. Thanks Robbie. I've run Mavericks, Sierra, and now High Sierra on unsupported Macs following instructions on the MacRumors forums. The latest on a MacBook (2008 Black) was Mavericks, and it ran just fine. ![]() I had some issues getting Sierra working on it, but I was trying to not have to do a clean install. In theory, Sierra should run on that hardware, but I've not tried recently. After installing Sierra on a 2009 Mini, and High Sierra on a 2009 iMac, I think the best path is to: • Backup using CCC (SuperDuper for some reason will not work on an unsupported High Sierra installation for me) to an external hard drive. This will be your clone for a quick restore. • Backup using TimeMachine. This will be for your migration. • Nuke and Pave, using your (Sierra| High Sierra) installer you made. • Restore from your TimeMachine backup during the backup process. If things go wrong, you've got your CCC backup that you can boot from over USB to assist with repairs, or to restore. NB: #1 and #2 are not optional, and they are not 'either/or'. Once you've done the install, there's nothing at all unusual about running the Mac, save for OS updates on High Sierra, which you have to get the combo updater to effectively do. How to backup onenote for mac. Sierra updates just ran fine straight out of the Mac App Store. Do remember that SIP is disabled, so you might consider an anti-malware package in addition to XProtect, if only to run it periodically. (Since we're dealing with older Macs, every cycle of CPU is precious!) Written on my 2009 iMac running High Sierra, Aaron. • MacBook (late 2009 or later) • iMac (late 2009 or later) • MacBook Air (2010 or later) • MacBook Pro (2010 or later) • Mac mini (2010 or later) • Mac Pro (2010 or later) This is a thread for people to discuss and offer solutions for newly unsupported Macs in macOS Sierra. This post will be updated with solutions as they become available. MacOS History OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) was the first version of OS X with support for 64-bit kernels, allowing booting with either a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel. However, Apple did not support booting the 64-bit kernel in Macs that shipped with EFI32 firmware, even if they had 64-bit processors capable of running the 64-bit kernel. When Apple dropped the 32-bit kernel entirely in OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), EFI32 Macs no longer had an Apple-supported mechanism to boot newer versions of OS X. OS X El Capitan (10.11) includes SIP (System Integrity Protection/Rootless). It makes sure that system files and their permissions are automatically protected, and also updated during Software Updates.
