Assuming MacMini 2011/2012 iwth SSD running High Sierra. If I upgrade to Monterery or Ventura using OCLP - will all the data/users etc be there, or does the process wipe the drive? It's not totally clear to me from reading the docs. (I know I should back up before doing it).

Any common gotcha's or risks one should know about?

Thanks!

Anybody with a dualboot setup getting banned in said games for the bios settings interfering with kernel level Anticheats in games? If so have you guys found a workaround for it?

If this falls within the “unrelated category “ and should be posted somewhere else feel free to lemme know where to post it. Thanks.

Hi guys, I got a free iMac Late 2013 27" that came with a HDD. I had to remove the hard disk for destruction. So I disassembled the iMac, installed a third party nvme ssd with adapter and realized that the firmware is too old to boot from. The hard drive was recognized by the Sonoma installer I created with OCLP, but the installer with the grey hdd icon did not show up even after many attempts.

I read on the internet that firmware can only be updated with original Apple SSDs. Luckily, I still had one lying around from a 2015 MacBook Pro that I successfully upgraded.

So I took the damn thing apart again, installed the original SSD and finally I was able to install Sonoma and boot normally. Now I have installed the third party ssd again and the same problem persists.

I actually wanted to use the Mac for Linux, but even there, I can't boot.

Please save me from wasting countless more hours. I hope you can help me.
