Hi all,
I‘m on a mid-2012 13 inch MacBookPro running Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina, the latest officially supported Mac OS. I‘ve Success fully got the Monterey installer on my USB Drive and am able to boot it up on my laptop. However when I attempt to install Monterey, I get the message that my target internal hard drive doesn’t have enough memory for the install. This is a common problem I believe, wherein a hard drive seemingly has plenty of space, but due to ‚other‘ files, purgeable memory, etc., there isn‘t enough memory to install an update.
So I’m thinking about doing a clean install since most people on the interwebs are saying that‘s the best way forward when updating via OpenCore.
My question is this. If I make a Time Machine backup of my computer in it‘s current state, running on Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina, will I be able to migrate over all the data after doing a clean install on Monterey via the USB installer. I should think this would be the case, since this is how it works when one gets a new computer and wants to migrate data over from their old one. Or will I run into problems since I‘m using OpenCore?
Has anyone else been able to swipe a hard drive, install the newer OS via OpenCore, and then migrate over their data from their last TM backup?
Thanks all for your help!!
