Installing macOS 16 Tahoe on MacBook Pro 2018 (Intel i9)
The 2018 MacBook Pro features an Intel i9 processor and a T2 Security Chip. Since macOS 16 Tahoe drops support for older models, you must use OCLP to install it.
Prerequisites and installation steps:
- T2 Chip Support: The Apple T2 security chip requires special handling. Ensure Secure Boot is set to

⚠️ WARNING:
Installing macOS Tahoe on unsupported hardware is NOT supported by the OpenCore Legacy Patcher developers. Please be aware that numerous users have attempted installation, often resulting in serious issues including hardware malfunctions and complete data loss.
Also understand that OCLP supports over 83 Mac models! Just because it "worked" on one, does not mean it will not cause major issues on your device.
NOTE: You might have seen a new piece of software called OCLP-Mod. The OCLP developers do NOT recommend using any modification of the genuine OCLP software. Keep in mind, anyone is able to make a fork of OCLP (a fork is a modification of the original project). No other software is checked and verified safe or actually working on all 83 Mac models.
In closing, please only use the genuine version of OCLP. Do not install Tahoe until a fully compatible public version of OCLP is released. Thanks!
