Upgraded to macOS Ventura
This iMac can be supplied with macOS Ventura installed using OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP), a well-established independent open-source tool that lets older Macs run newer versions of macOS. That means it runs current versions of the many apps that need macOS Ventura or later — such as recent releases of Chrome, Microsoft 365 and Zoom — not just the older versions limited to its original macOS. We install and test it before dispatch. OCLP is not supported by Apple; if you would rather have the last official macOS version for this model, just ask before or after ordering.
