macOS 15 Sequoia on Unsupported Macs Thread

I wonder... Since as of Tuesday, I'm able to run OCLP/Sonoma 14.7.7 on my 2012MBP and all things work now that hadn't back in Feb(Apple purchased movies/AppleTV/any HDCP content on external TB/HDMI monitor, Find-My), if Sequoia would also work ok on this machine... I hesitate to try now that this is working. Does anyone else have a 2012MBP with Sequoia running all native apps fine and HDCP content on external monitor?
 
Hello guys. My question may look a bit ignorant. Looking to update may 15.1 in foresable futura so was looking for info how to do that.
But I have not found any section in guide or help "How to perform system updates" only one FAQ pasage dealing with OTA update that may be understood as sign that OTA updates works but for such important action I was expecting clear guidance not to mess anything.

So OTA updates are safe recomended way?
Can there be any issue when it will be from version 15.1? there was not many reasons to update before final version.

Thanks

If you are referring to updating from 15.1 to 15.6, my preference would be to back up user data and clean install 15.6 from OCLP 2.4.0 created macOS 15.6 install media. OTA update from 15.1 to 15.6 might be flaky depending on your unsupported Mac hardware.

I thought you had a 2015 MBP that had the DRM issues, and why you were staying on Monterey. (last supported OS by Apple) for that machine.

MBP11,1: installed 15.7 (24G207, RC?) over 15.6 on external SSD, from USB installer.
OCLP 2.4.0 used for downloading installer and for patching. Metallib support pkg from 15.6 is used.
Smooth installation. Writing from Safari 26.0.
As always, thank you, developers!

If anyone here uses Telestream's ScreenFlow, there was an update today to version 10.5 after a year or two of no updates. The new update is for Sonoma, and Sequoia, so older versions of macOS, no longer supported. I installed the update on this late 2015 iMac with OCLP / Sonoma, and it seems to work fine, tried a short recording, and no apparent lag, or other issues. It does have a new audio permission to grant as well, as the program now offers Basic, and Advanced Computer Audio, recording.
