DISCLAIMER: Please be gentle. I know this is an old machine - before people tell me it's not worth it or whatever I just want to say that the whole project cost me less than $100, and I hold a strong personal belief that saving old hardware is important. Keeping that in mind here's my situation:
Someone gave me an old imac 11,2 for free. It's stock except for upgrading the ram to 16gb and it's currently running OCLP Sequoia. I have acquired the following upgrades: 256gb ssd, xeon L3426 (4c/8t), AMD wx4150 4gb (flashed with modded EFI-GOP MAC bios).
Goal: Have Sequoia installed with all the hw upgrades and dual boot win11.
My plan is below. Does my plan make sense? Is there anything I'm missing or not understanding? I guess I'm just a little nervous about everything and don't want to take it apart like 100 times. Any advice or stories would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
My plan is:
- Install all the HW upgrades (except GPU)
- Do a fresh install of macOS with OCLP doing all the usual OCLP steps
- Run OCLP gpu patcher for the AMD gpu upgrade
- shutdown, and install the gpu and boot
- Once the gpu is working then install windows
