Point # 14 - If upgrading from Mojave and earlier versions of macOS - Remember that Monterey does not support anything 32 bit. Same goes for Third Party Drivers for Printer, Scanners etc. Check with the Developer for compatible Apps / extensions. Point # 13 - Are the installed Applications / Extensions compatible with Monterey. At least one Tested Clone and / or Time Machine Backup should be Off - Site This is insurance incase the upgrades goes sideways. Point # 12 - For addition purposes - two Tested Bootable Clones each to separate external drives. A Time Machine Backup is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS. ![]() This comprises having 3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 Off Site incase of Theft, Loss or Natural Disasters. Point # 11 - Do you have a Rescue Plan In-Place. They will often times attempt to Modify, Alter, Remove or Delete elements of the Operating System requiring a Re-Installation. Point # 10 - Disk Cleaners, Optimizers and UnInstaller are not needed. There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS because of the underling UNIX Foundation and Permission Limitation. The Built in Security is all that is required. They are unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS i ncluding the download and installation of Monterey. Point # 9 - AntiVirus Software should be removed as per Developers Instructions. Point # 8 - If downloading Monterey from behind a VPN it may increase Packet Looses and an incomplete or corrupted Installer. Otherwise - ones Privacy and Security touted by the VPN is suspect. Point # 7 - Commercial VPNs should only be used if Mandated by Corporate Head Office for working remotely. Want the maximum bandwidth for the computer being upgraded to Monterey Point # 6 - If using Wifi - move computer as close to the Access Point / Router and disconnect all other devices connected to Wifi. Point # 5 - The upgrade will require a quick, stable and reliable Internet Connection - preferred method is via Ethernet Connection. Point # 4 - Empty Space afterwards - it is suggested to keep at least 15% of the Drive Total Capacity as Empty Space for good operations of the computer and for additional updates to Monterey to download, expand and install. If upgrading from an earlier release, your Mac needs up to 44GB of available storage. Point # 3 - Empty Space Requirements > If upgrading from macOS Sierra or later, your Mac needs 26GB of available storage to upgrade. Point # 2- > How to upgrade to macOS Monterey Reports indicate the EFI BOOT ROM is Required to Flash the Computer and is a requirement for a Successful Monterey Installation. The EFI Boot ROM included in Monterey is verifying for Original Apple Drive and if not found, may Balk or fail to upgrade to Monterey. Point # 1A - There are reports appearing on the ASC Forums regarding failed installation of Monterey on older Qualifying Apple Computers. In most cases this is related to having a NON Apple Original internal drive ? Point # 1 - Does the > Computer Qualify for the Monterey upgrade It's late now in my small corner of the world, but I'll try it out tomorrow.The below points should be consider before attempting the upgrade. Even though it's not supported, would a newer set of web drivers (which includes the proper support) work properly? Worst case is they'd crash the system and I'd have to remove them, so I guess I'd have nothing to lose, since the stock drivers do the same thing. I tried the web drivers, but the latest version available for Mavericks doesn't seem to support the K3100M. Is it possible there's some weirdness with regard to power management? I'm using a patched kernel so PM works, but maybe the stock Nvidia drivers are incompatible with that kernel somehow? Download the Installer from Apple directly to the computer that you want to install the new OS X onto. This means if you have any version of OS X newer than 10.9 then you can upgrade it to the latest version for free. The K3100M gave me no trouble at all on Sierra, and Mavericks was current when the M6800 was current, so logically it should work (provided I'm running a 100% up to date install of Mavericks). Since OS-X Mavericks (10.9) Apple have been releasing their OS X upgrades for free. Removing the stock drivers completely allows me to boot without a bunch of rigamarole, but of course no accelerated graphics. If I set -nv-disable, it will boot, but obviously with no acceleration (oddly, the card seems to be otherwise recognized properly, with the proper amount of VRAM (4096 MB)). I have the same DW1550 (BCM4352) on another machine, also running Mavericks, and the card works perfectly with ToledaARPT.kext.Īs for early reboots, I've noticed that it will lock up if I let it initialize the Nvidia drivers like normal. ![]()
