I’ve seen similar options, but haven’t heard of this one. Looks like my 17 yr old comp might be compatible. I wonder how compatible though, since most of my USB ports already don’t work with my supported OS.
That’s apple wanting to control their closed hardware ecosystem. Windows is built to run on a significantly wider range of hardware, so isn’t really comparable in that way.
I’m not using windows, but apple does the same thing. My OS is 9 versions old because they won’t let me upgrade without buying a new computer.
Try OpenCore Legacy Patcher
Will installing / using this reset or format the Mac? I mean, as a first time install thing.
Believe so, yes. You have to clean install the OS with a installer made using the tool.

Anyway, thanks, I’ll look more into it.

True, microsoft is a wehrmacht nazi soldier where as apple is full on gestapo.
I guess that’s true. But both are acting everyone just has money to waste.
Well, for people that buy into Apple, there’s a higher chance that’s the case 😅
