MacBook 2,1

[kemidar874]

Hello, i have a 2007 MacBook 2,1 (ox X7,5), but i would like a newer Mac OS, at least mavericks. I tried Macpostfactor without succes. Would somebody please mind creating a bootable instalation file?

Thanks (sorry for my english, not my main language)

Just to make sure:
It's currently running OS X 10.7.5.

 

EDIT:
I went to look at dosdude1's Sierra patcher and it's not new enough (by 1 year), so I'm not sure what to do.
It's a Core 2 Duo, though, so you might want to just get a new MacBook.

Yeah i know, but its mac that i got for free to test mac os. I think it should be compatible(not officially) with at least mavericks, i dont think that mac is that big of a problem, i think its more about me trying to use janky downloaded versions of mac os

I doubt you will get that to work even when patched. You are missing the graphics driver so playing videos will be very bad. 10.7, even 10.6 is fine for that model. Why do you need a newer OS? Did you already buy it?

I did not buy anything, i think that the patch should work even though very slowly

Unfortunately 10.7.5 is the realistic max for that hardware. It's just too old and outdated to run anything newer, even Mavericks. It'll be missing drivers, so you won't have a good experience at all.

The 2006 and 2007 2.1 only have official support for 10.7 so you are out of luck there. Also, if you want a newer Mac OS version, just buy it.

I can't help you with illegally modified software.

Patching macOS isn't really illegally modified software. If so then none of the dosdude1 patchers would exist.

the problem is the 2,1 macbook has a 32bit efi. The lastest version of osx for those systems is 10.7. I know there was some mods to get 10.11 on them, but id just put windows or linux if you want a modern os.

I know, that's sort of what I said in my first comment:

The problem is the cpu can only run 10.11, and that doesn't have great support for modern mac apps, and isn't support. Your gonna need a newer mac if you want to have a modern mac os system.

it would just be nice to have at least yosemite on it since most apps recquire at least that

I believe the OP did not buy the OS in the first place but tries to use a modded one without a license. That's what I meant. I have no issues with modding your copy of the OS.

Well you can run 10.11 on it. Id do 3gb of ram and a ssd first though. And its gonna be slow.

The license for macOS is not something you buy as you would with Windows. Not sure what you're talking about with using a modded OS without a license.

@Electronics Wizardy said that it would be slow, that's why. There won't be any graphical acceleration.
