Stupidly updated well beyond it's capabilities and made the rookie mistake of updating to the latest and then couldn't login or connect to WiFi. I know, I know, what an idiot, the OCP isn't supporting the latest OS yet etc.
Anyway, I wiped the SSD and ran internet recovery on the laptop and loaded up the factory Mountain Lion OS X.
Now...... I want to run this laptop with OPC patcher UpTo Catalina and also run Windows 10 or 11 on a partition via bootcamp.
Hers is the dilemma.
I cannot update from M'Lion to Catalina directly, as need 10.9 minimum which I believe to be Mavericks. For the life of me I cannot find a Mavericks DMG or full installer. App store doesn't have it anymore and I can't access it on the old M'Lion OS anyway. Terminal command of updating doesn't work either. I found a version of Mavericks but it started it has possibly been tampered with / not supported.
I tried Internet Archive and then received a message staying that the installer file was damaged/corrupt.
I installed Windows 11 and then I rent into the drivers issue for keyboard and audio.
I've spent about 3 days on this nightmare and am close to giving up of learning Linux.
My last attempt is to ask if anyone has a clean and official DMG copy/full installer of Mavericks, of am I missing something?
Thank you 👍 😊
