Keep in mind, Mojave and Catalina will probably receive security updates until roughly September 2021 and September 2022 respectively (give or take a month), so you can continue using Mojave or Catalina for now. (I have created Time Machine backups with Big Sur, and I have restored them using Big Sur, but I have not yet tried to access Big Sur Time Machine backups using previous macOS releases.) I repeat, do a Time Machine backup before upgrading!! Big Sur changes how Time Machine backups are done, and I have heard that it is not possible to use previous versions of macOS to recover data from Big Sur's Time Machine backups. Remember that you do this at your own risk, you could lose all your data (it's your responsibility to do a Time Machine backup first!), expect bugs and crashes, and this patcher is still under development. This documentation is more thorough than for previous versions of this patcher, but it may still be incomplete. In addition, thanks to Ben Sova, MachInit, johncaling40, and Travis Parker for their contributions to this patcher.

ASentientBot for developing the Hax series of installer patches which are so incredibly helpful for installing Big Sur on unsupported Macs, as well as for his patch to NVDAResmanTesla.kext which allows the GeForce Tesla (9400M/320M) framebuffer to work in Big Sur.Thanks to the following people for their hard work to get Big Sur running on unsupported Macs: For 2008 Mac Pros (MacPro3,1) in particular, Big Mac is clearly a better option than this patcher (at least for now). You can make the post-install app go into Lazy Mode so it doesn't do as many processes (some are still done, but not all).A primitive USB patcher for installing macOS Big Sur on unsupported MacsД«y the way, if you have a Mac Pro, Big Mac by StarPlayrX is another patcher worth considering.The patcher now uses PatchSystem.sh which is a revamped version of PatchKexts.sh (which was actually a revamped version of patch-kexts.sh).Add an Incompatible Drives list so you can see why the patcher won't let you use certain drives.no prohibited symbol! (DO NOT just expect this to work out of the box, make sure you see 'Already Patched ist' in the patcher settings before reseting the nvram) Patched Sur will get on your back about it afterwards to restore the value, butвЂ¦.
