Upgrade of the Mid 2009 MacBook Pro operating system in 2009
Hello, your MacBook Pro from 2009 (5,2) won’t run High Sierra anymore. It likely supports only earlier versions like High Sierra or earlier. To upgrade, you’d need to purchase a newer MacBook with a compatible processor and chipset. You can check the Apple Support website for compatible models and consider upgrading if possible. Let me know if you need more details!
This page confirms compatibility with all mac OS versions up to 10.11 (El Capitan). You can likely upgrade via the App Store as outlined. For a more contemporary experience, consider installing a Linux distribution.
It will operate in High Sierra using the patch developed by Dosdude1. https://dosdude1.com/highsierra
Thank you everyone. I'll test these options to see which performs best.
