Upgrading to Ventura using a USB installer with an Intel Core i3 Haswell processor (HD 4400)? I see what you're up against!
- Backup, Backup, Backup: No matter how you upgrade, always back up your data first. Things can go wrong, and it's best to be prepared.
- Customize Your Installation: Make sure to select the upgrade option during the installation process, not the clean install. This should keep your files and applications intact.
- Keep Your Recovery Partition: If possible, maintain your recovery partition during the upgrade. It could save you if something goes wrong.
- Hackintosh Guidelines: If you're dealing with a Hackintosh project, forums and guides specific to your hardware and macOS version might have tips for smooth upgrading.
Even though the process should preserve your data, never underestimate the importance of having a solid backup. It's the best way to ensure that you won't lose anything important. Happy upgrading, and enjoy Ventura! Feel free to reach out if you run into any hiccups.
Hi, my laptop has an Intel Core i3 Haswell processor (HD 4400) so upgrading to Ventura via OTA isn't going to work. Will I lose my data if I upgrade using a USB installer?
