      I just pulled my mac mini out of my closet and I totally forgot it had an regular HD. I could have swore it was a SSD.
      So now I think I'll swap to a samsung SSD prior to doing anything with updating the ios.

    Thanks for the video but everyone should note: the use of the “munki” tool to download the installer will not (easily) work when running from a newer M1/M2 Mac. An Intel Mac is required to run the munki tool to download Intel versions of MacOS. I suggest running it from your new cheap Mac Mini to make this work.

This content is really important, so many machines that can be reused afterall, i just think that the video is a bit outdated some stuff does not mach exactly like in the video. It woud be nice maybe a new video. I guess maybe some people have some troubles to figure it out when something happens diferent on theyr machine. On the minute 9:00 i think it woud be nice to include how people can check the right version for theyr machine, i figure it out on open core list but is this type of thing that maybe sometimes makes people give up and thing that it does not work. But amazing job. 💪💪💪💪💪

    You answered my question for this semi gray hair geek lady 😂 not sure I can do this but will watch your video a few times. I sure would love to repurpose and us what I have! My Mac Mini i upgraded to 8 fb and the iMac is upgraded to 16 gb. Donating both these devices back to Apple for free is not my solution. Both devices are in excellent condition.
    Question: Will this process work for an iMac mid 2012 and I put a SSD in this device too? Each SSD is an Apple 256 mob capacity.

The other tool can even keep kexts updated!), etc

    Wow, great. Just set aside the better part of a day, have another computer for all the downloading, follow these 50 or so specific steps, and don’t forget to upgrade the hard drive - all so you can use a 12 year old computer. Hooray.

    Why not install Ventura, why Monterray? I think Ventura is better, I have installed it on my machine and apps are up-to-date...
