In this video I show you how to upgrade your Mac Pro 5,1 from Mac OS Mojave to Sonoma using Opencore Legacy Patcher. I also use an iphone app called iTechGuy a helpful AI Tech Advisor created Yunyan Qi by https://apps.apple.com/us/app/itechgu... to gather information on the install. This video is sponsored by dqupgrade.com and they gave me a OLED 512 gig SteamDeck to give away to one luck Subscriber! Details at the end of the video.
