Sonoma on Surface Pro 5 Success

Sonoma on Surface Pro 5 Success

Managed to get Sonoma up and running on my surface pro 5. Runs decent enough. Some things are a little choppy, especially the lists in settings when clicking on a sub menu. But besides that it runs great.

What works:

Touch screen

Keyboard + mouse

Battery indicator

iServices

Sleep

And almost everything else

What doesn’t work:

WiFi/bluetooth

Both cameras

For WiFi I’m using a T2U nano and I installed chris1111’s wireless adapter driver, only issue with that is that it doesn’t install properly on Sonoma, it says “install failed” right at the end but then it works until a reboot where I have to install it again. I’m not sure if there’s even a fix but I’ll try. I also tried Big Sur which ran amazingly on this machine, no stutters or anything. Might try Ventura and Monterey and see how those fair as well.

Specs:

I5-7300U

8GB ram

256GB SSD
