In this video, I will explain step by step on how to get macOS Monterey installed on hardware that is no longer supported by Apple. We will do this using the OpenCore Legacy Patcher. For this video, I'll be using an iMac late 2013 but this method should work for Mac Mini, Mac Pro, MacBook Air or Pro and different models of iMacs as well.

Newer version of macOS: Sonoma
In the meanwhile, macOS Sonoma has been released. A very similar method is available to install the latest version of macOS on unsupported hardware. I did a separate video that covers that version of macOS,. You can find that one over here:    • Install macOS Sonoma on unsupported m...  

All the steps I go through and commands or links I'm using in the video can be found in detail on my blog as well: https://jensd.be/1589/apple/install-m...
