DISCLAIMER: Please understand that installing macOS Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey or Big Sur on your unsupported Mac is a best effort by the community. A ton of work went into getting the patcher to work! Some things might not work exactly right but it's really really close. I would not recommend installing Sonoma (use Ventura or Monterey) on a system that you rely on for work or school. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES FIRST BEFORE YOU UPGRADE! The good news is that you are getting the latest security fixes from Apple. Some might argue that upgrading OCLP makes your Mac safer since Apple is no longer fixing security issues on 10.13 and below. But this process is not supported by Apple and is to be used at your risk only.
