Can I run newer versions of macOS? (Already have High Sierra)

[Thereman]

Hello !

I would like if it will be possible to install the latest version of macOS (Monterey) or either (Big Sur). I already have a Hackintosh in this system, only it is macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and I would like to make the transition to something more modern, but I have talked to other people and if I install something above High Sierra, I will lose the video card (because there are no drivers). I only think if I could be without the video card, because I have a video card integrated into the processor, and what I do on the PC is just programming (Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Android Studio with android simulator, Unity). What opinions would I have, would it be possible, worth it?

 

CPU:

- Intel Haswell Refresh, i5 4460 3.2GHz

GPU:

Memory:

- 4GB module (Patriot Signature) + 4GB module (HyperX Black) - DDR3 1600Mhz

Storage:

- WD Blue 1TB SATA3 7200RPM 64MB

- Solid State Drive (SSD) Kingston KC600, 256GB, 2.5", SATA III

Hello! 😃

 

Sure you can use Big Sur, but if you try use Monterey this SO still in Beta. IMO not good from now if you want a stable system.

 

Also, would be a good idea if you sell your GTX 960 and buy a compatible AMD video card. 😉

@Allan @Hervé Thank you guys for your time and advice. I would like to start preparing the USB stick with what I need for macOS Big Sur because I am going to buy an SSD to install it there. Can you guide me in making a USB stick with what I need to install my hackintosh?
