I know this is not a support channel, but each time I’ve asked you have given me several strategies and ideas to upgrade a 2014 macOS I’m experimenting with. Hope this post doesn’t get nuked:

Stock software was 10.10. With opencore patcher and other packages I upgraded up to 12.7 and just now I received a software update alert to upgrade to 14.4, something that never happened before.

I though my old 2014 macbook pro retina, 2.6 Ghz dual core intel i5 couldn’t support the newest macOS, and if you don’t convince me otherwise, I’d upgrade.

thanks

    Personally, I would get an external SSD and try it on there first. At least it’s new enough to have USB3 ports. If you’re comfortable enough with it under the circumstances, you can put it on your main drive. But you may find you need to upgrade the RAM or that it’s just too much of a resource hog in the end? But even if you back away from 14, it’s always nice to have an external SSD kicking around. :)
