FAQ

To install macOS Sierra on unsupported Mac models, you can use special utilities that can patch the macOS Sierra installer and install it on the unsupported Mac.
Everyone knows that Apple signs the firmware for its mobile operating system for iPhone and iPad. But few people know that it also signs the macOS desktop operating system, and if you try to install a version that is no longer signed, you'll receive a message similar to this: "This copy of the program could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or modified during the download process." In this case, you have two solutions: - download the latest image of the desired system from the Mac App Store and recreate the bootable USB flash drive - change the date of your Mac to one that preceded the release of the build with macOS (OS X). If the first method requires more time and effort, the second can be done directly in installer mode, without restarting your Mac. All you need to do is launch Terminal and use it to change the date. Change the date to a few days before the update's release for it to take effect. You can view macOS release dates on Wikipedia.https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS . Also, remember to disconnect your Mac from the internet so it doesn't reset the date by contacting Apple's servers. To change the date via Terminal, you need to add the desired date to the date command in the following format: mmddHHMMyy. For macOS Sierra, this will be the following command: date 0715000017 More details and pictures are written here.
