As I had expected Tahoe Beta 1 does not work on the 2017 MacBook. It will start installing and then when the first reboot occurs, the laptop just hangs with the Apple logo against a black screen and no update on the status bar below.I just learned of the new MacOS and am interested in seeing if this will install cleanly onto my 2017 12-inch i7 MacBook. I plan to give this a try using the current version of OCLP and see what happens. I will report my findings once done . . .
I know we are not supposed to try installing Tahoe until the OCLP developers have made a version which will allow installation and patches for a functioning MacOS 26 build on the computer. It has been put out many times so I understand. My MacBook is one of many spares I have on hand and for me the risk was the install won't work and I will have to reformat the SSD and reinstall everything. No big deal but at least I know it is not worth trying to install an OS that, even if it installs, will have very limited functionality due to no available patching at this moment.
With this said, I will wait until there is a compatible OCLP version in which I will then be able to install MacOS 26 onto my MacBook. I do look forward to reading how everyone is doing in their efforts to have this OS work on their laptops.
