macOS Tahoe 26 on Unsupported Macs Discussion

[paalb]

All my important files are on a mechanical Hard Drive I've used forever.

Is it because it is connected with Firewire? In that case you could move the disk over to a USB enclosure.

How is battery life?

My expectations are low since the battery is old and I don't plan to replace it - I only maintain the laptop for fun (no serious use cases). I won't be testing anything beyond the ability to login and capture an "About This Mac" screenshot until OCLP post-install patches are available for Tahoe.

Also, my "patiently waiting" comments are truly well-intended. I don't want new visitors to this thread to think that my successful macOS updates imply that OCLP is available and supported for Tahoe. And since I don't expect new readers to start reading this thread from the beginning, I'll continue to post my 'patiently waiting' status with each new update until the wait is over.

And while you don't need me to say it, Devs - take as much time as you need. My 'patiently waiting' comments are not intended to mean anything else.
