How to install mac os Big Sur on an unsupported Mac part 2
on the previous video we installed a beta version
using Barry K N's Big Sur Micro Patcher
in this video we'll be installing 11.1 release candidate
using a pre-downloaded install assistant package
and Ben Sova's Patched Sur which is available on GitHub
all of the links and a basic guide will be in the description
anything beyond that, refer to the Patched Sur GitHub page
to download Patched Sur,
click on the link where it says release and latest
scroll down
and download the DMG file
when you open it for the first time,
you'll have to go into system preferences and security and allow it to run
after that go through the prompts, select release
clean isn't working, so we'll have to select update
it will then download some files
i've already downloaded the install assistant package so we're going to click view other versions
find an installer
select that package
click use pre-downloaded install assistant
type in your password
click on your USB name and then continue
if you're unsure how to correctly format the usb refer back to my Big Sur Micro Patcher video,
the link is in the description
this will take a long time so again, go away and do something else
when it's finished you'll get this prompt
so you'll want to shut down
and start up again holding the alt key
as per the instructions click on the yellow EFI boot icon
if there are multiple unplug your usb and plug it in again to see which one is correct
When you click it will immediately reboot, so press the alt key again
and then click on the installer
here click on Install Big Sur and continue
click continue
then agree and agree
select your hard drive
and then click continue to start the installer
once it's installed we can run Patched Sur
it has options there to disable animations
we can check system information
it's a work in progress so some options aren't available yet
now we want to patch Kexts
i had to click on force skip check and then put in my password
it threw up an error, i'd recently upgraded my WIFI card so there's nothing to patch
if you have the older WIFI card it will patch the driver
and then everything should be complete
I had a few issues along the way including my WIFI dropping out
after i upgraded my WIFI/Bluetooth card,
i was getting kernel panics when it resumed from sleep
since then i've done a reinstall and everything's working perfectly
