    Some years ago I installed mojave on a late 2011 macbook pro with "dosdude mojave"... If I want to upgrade to Monterey or beyond can I use OCLP (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) with dosdude installed? I would like to maintain data and apps so I would like to upgrade and not fresh install. is it possible?

    Mac mini 2012, Intel HD4000, VLC and woe.

    I thought I was winning, turns out I was losing. I picked up a second-hand Mac mini (late 2012) (Macmini6,2) and shoehorned macOS Mojave 10.14 onto it by way of Dosdude’s patcher. More on THAT here @ https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-10-14-mojave-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2121473/...
