In former posts, Big Sur (11.7) and Monterey (12.7),   I went through how to update an old MacBook Air 4.2, (mid 2011, SSD, 4 Gb memory) which has a Non-Metal GPU. In this post I will update a MacBook Air 6.2 with SSD, Mid 2013,  to Ventura(13.5) with the same patcher  but the latest version 6.2 !!  This is despite that  max OS  for this Mac is  Big Sur Awesome !! ! Supported models are found here .

Updated 2022-03-03 ! I'm having an old MacBook Air 4.2, (mid 2011, SSD, 4 Gb memory), which have been running Catalina for quite some time despite that the  max OS is  High Sierra. I have been using the great work by dosedudes1 and his Catalina patcher . Unfortunately he didn't continue with patches for newer OS:s but have helped with a new patcher . This patcher  even handles Macs with graphic cards from 2008 - 2011. Using the patcher i got the mentioned Mac up and running with Big Sur after just over an hour.   New post !! Upgrade to Monterey .

Updated 2025-05-20 ! I have done several posts Blogging about how to keep an old MacBook Air(MBA), mid 2011(A1369), with SSD disk "alive". I have used the fantastic software package OpenCore Legacy patcher to upgrade the Mac to the latest Mac OS.  A while ago i tested Mac OS  Sequoia (15.3), on the mentioned Mac, but I had to admit that it was to much for the 14 year old companion. I really like the Mac and everything works, after a battery change , so it ended up with installing  Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS  or if you want the latest scroll down and get Ubuntu 24.10/25.04. Ubuntu on  Mac Mini (2018) and MacBookAir (2010)  ?

In a former post I used a nice Python program to get the installers but as you know there are no Python installed in later Mac OS. The program used in this post is the fantastic Open Core Legacy Patcher . (No Python dependencies.) This patcher is made for supporting old Mac:s with new OS:s , which is not officially supported, but here we just use it for getting the USB installer.

Updated 2022-08-16 ! In a former post I went trough how to update an old MacBook Air 4.2, (mid 2011, SSD, 4 Gb memory) to Big Sur and in this post I will update the Mac to Monterey with the same patcher !!  This is despite that  max OS  for the Mac is  High Sierra. This is done, among other things, due to that t he patcher  handles Macs with graphic cards from 2008 - 2011 which Monterey doesn't do natively. Since my former upgrade, to Big Sur, included a format of the SSD disk I here used the  patcher to do an upgrade from Big Sur  to Monterey. Awesome !!!
