MP 1,1-5,1 Mac pro 5,1. Monterey?

[Guitarmas]

Hey everyone,

I have a Mac Pro 5,1. I used OCLP and installed Big Sur. If I were to use the update to Monterey, will I encounter any issues?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

I have been running Monterey via OCLP on my 4.1>5.1 since last year.

No problems.

I have 4 of these computers in my office, all work fine.

 

[Guitarmas]

Thanks for your reply.

I guess what I was asking is, can I use the update within Mac Os to update it to Monterey instead of using OCLP?

No.

 

[Guitarmas]

I didn't think so.

 

[Guitarmas]

....out of curiosity. What would happen if this was attempted?

 

[Guitarmas]

Aside from this. Can anyone direct me to the best walk through on YouTube? I'm going to attempt to put Ventura on my MP.

Thanks!

It just wouldn't install.

I wouldn't recommend Ventura on a MP 5,1.

First, you need a metal-capable GPU, do you have that? You're also going to need a BIOS update to get to Monterey or beyond.

 

[Guitarmas]

Yes. I have a metal-capable GPU. I bought one last year and it was also flashed to show the boot screen. A bios update? Any suggested resources to achieve this?

 

[nettmanek]

to be honest dunno what is he about I installed the ventura on my cmp5.1 and it worked but had a problem with GPU so moved back to Monterey, but yes, you can try install ventura on it

[AlexMaximus]

Make sure you will be super watertight on that BACKUP of yours before going to Ventura.
