Installing macOS Sonoma on MacBook Pro 2016 (A1706)
The 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (A1706) officially maxes out at macOS Monterey. However, it runs macOS Sonoma very reliably using OpenCore Legacy Patcher, including full support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the Touch Bar.
User Experience Notes:
- Performance: Day-to-day performance is virtually identical to Monterey.
- Battery Life: You may notice a slight decrease in battery life due to background processes in Sonoma.
- Touch Bar: Fully supported after applying root patches.
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Download OCLP: Download the latest OpenCore Legacy Patcher release.
- Create Installer: Open OCLP, click 'Create macOS Installer', download macOS Sonoma, and flash it to a 16GB+ USB drive.
- Build OpenCore: Go back to the main menu, click 'Build and Install OpenCore', and install it to the USB drive's EFI partition.
- Boot from USB: Restart your MacBook, hold the Option (Alt) key, select the EFI Boot (OpenCore icon), and then select 'Install macOS Sonoma'.
- Install and Patch: Proceed with the installation. Once you boot into Sonoma, you will likely be missing Wi-Fi and graphics acceleration. Open OCLP from your Applications folder (transfer it via USB if needed) and run Post-Install Root Patch.
