Could use some advice
Had a spare mid-2012 13” MBP (i5 2.5) 8GB collecting dust so I wiped the SSD, and started fresh with my first OCLP attempt, upgraded to Monterey. Everything worked great but wasn’t using it (didn’t even connect it to my iCloud).
Held off on Ventura and Sonoma but then yesterday I figured why not and did the OTA update to Sequoia and the post-install patches (twice) using OCLP 2.1.2.
The machine works GREAT! It takes a minute or two to fully load but it runs and looks awesome afterwards. Not hot at all, no fans. Streaming video is flawless. Maps work perfectly. I love it. I even just bought new RAM to bump it up to 16GB.
My daily driver is a well cared for early-2015 13” MBP retina (i5 2.7) 8GB, 1 TB SSD with 100GB Bootcamp (W10) partition. Running everything I need great on Monterey, no OCLP.
Question is: should I try to install OCLP and move the 2015 to Sequoia too? Will the Bootcamp partition make it tricky? Will I need to wipe the drive and reinstall from backup? Honestly, especially with the upcoming RAM upgrade, I might consider just switching to the 2012 as my daily, but I would miss that Retina screen way too much if I did.
