Installing Catalina on an old Macbook Pro (Mid 2010)?

Hey!

I have an old (Mid 2010 15 inch) Macbook Pro that currently runs High Sierra which is the last OS supported by this model.

I would really like to have a more recent update, something that would have Apple Music instead of iTunes lol. I heard this model can run fine with Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina.

I already have a SSD on my Macbook btw :) Would you recommend that I use dosdude or something else? I heard about OCLP too. Is it safer?

Do I have to do anything before downloading and installing Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina from dosdude’s/OCLP’s website? I dont care about backing up because my Macbook was recently reseted and it’s clean.

Thank you in advance!
