[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1802356, member: 56379"] Thanks for sharing...and great you found a solution to get back to where you started.:) Word to the wise is...when a computer has been modified this much to be able to do things that Apple never orignally designed it to do...when a new OS version comes out...upgrading is really not an immediate option. It may take months & months & months for other users to figure out IF the new macOS version can be run on modified Mac Pro's...and it may take even longer before procedures or patches are written to make things work. [U]Here are some another ways to "experiment" when a new macOS comes out so any issues can be avoided: [/U] - Clone the hard drive or SSD that Mac Pro is running on & works fine...and set this clone aside & don't modify it. - Experiment with a 2nd hard drive or SSD...and don't touch the original boot drive. - Partition the current boot drive...and install the new macOS on a fresh partition...and don't touch the original boot partition. This way if the new OS doesn't work properly...you can revert back to the old setup quickly & easily.:) - Nick p.s. By the way...the "H" word is not allowed here!;) [/QUOTE]
