So how to download macOS Mojave on unsupported Mac?
This is MacBook Pro Early 2011 and official maximum macOS version is High Sierra.
So when I try to download macOS Mojave installer directly from Apple App Store, I get this
error: “This version of macOS cannot be installed on this computer”.
Lot of people give up at this point.
Please avoid downloading macOS Mojave, High Sierra or any older macOS from some Hackintosh
distributions like Niresh, Hackintosh Zone etc.
Always download it directly from Apple App Store and create an installer yourself!
That’s the only way how to be sure, your system will be clean.
I don’t say those distributions are not clean and included some malware, spying scripts
etc., but simply you can’t be 100% sure.
So how to download macOS Mojave even on unsupported Mac?
Fortunately some very smart guy called “dosdude” created amazing and handy application called
macOS Mojave Patcher.
Navigate to this web page (link is in this video description), scroll down and click on direct
link to download this application.
Once downloaded, open the the disk image and copy the application itself for example onto
your desktop.
Open it with right click and Open, it will bypass the built-in security check.
Here in the top menu simply click on Download macOS Mojave and select where you want to
store the installer, I will create on my Desktop folder called for example Mojave Installer.
And that’s all :) Installer have few gigs, so it can take long time on slow internet connection
Once downloaded, you can use for example my tutorial how to create a bootable USB installer
for your Mac or Hackintosh, link is also in this video description.
BTW this dosdude guy who created this macOS Mojave Patcher created also macOS High Sierra
and Sierra Patcher.
So as you could see, even on unsupported and old Mac you can download official Apple macOS
Mojave Installer directly form Apple’s servers and create a bootable USB installer disk from it.
