KEYBASE BIG SUR INSTALL
Warning! Before trying to install anything newer than 11.2.1, please make sure that it’s still supported by micropatcher! There are some troubles in installing 11.3 Beta 2, which was not resolved at the time of writing this guide.

Installing Big Sur in the same APFS container as your current macOS installation will cause issues. Important: it must be not in the same container as your current mac installation. Run Disk Utility and create new partition, at least 60 GB in size.

If you have a working OS on your machine, please KEEP IT. Make a Time Machine backupĪs always, before installing a new major release of any macOS, you should do a TM backup, especially before installing a Big Sur, which changes TM backups in some ways. To install Big Sur, you’ll need an USB drive of at least 16GB in capacity. With the new release of Big Sur, apple have dropped my “brand new” Mac Mini Late 2012, so that’s how I made it work with the help of MacRumors community. It should work for both Big Sur and Monterey. This guide kept here for the historic purposes.įollow OpenCore Legacy Patcher instructions:
