How to Upgrade a 2017 Touch Bar MacBook Pro to Sequoia

Touch Bar and Touch ID usually remain available on a 2017 MacBook Pro when OCLP is installed correctly, but you should back up because Secure Enclave features cannot be repaired casually.

Step-by-Step Upgrade:

  1. Make a full backup: Use Time Machine or a clone before installing macOS Sequoia.
  2. Update OCLP: Use the latest stable OCLP release before building OpenCore.
  3. Build for the exact model: Let OCLP auto-detect the MacBook Pro model and install OpenCore to the internal EFI.
  4. Install Sequoia: Boot through the OpenCore picker and complete the macOS installer.
  5. Verify Touch Bar and Touch ID: After root patches and reboot, test Touch ID in System Settings and reset enrolled fingerprints only if needed.

Original Question: "hi everyone ive got a 2017 MacBook pro Touch Bar 8gb ram on Ventura how would I get it onto sequoia without losing out on Touch Bar Touch ID"
