Hello, Thanks for your help. I hope this is not an off topic against the rules (if so I did not see anything regarding)..
I am trying to spoof my OS into thinking it's Sierra, as Mavericks & Yosemite are the OS versions where all the hardware works without problems (more or less except the network, WIFI & Bluetooth). I have a HP Elitebook 8560p and have tried the various versions.
I have tried installing Sierra and the AMD Radeon HD 6470m no longer works, and the USB 3.0 is questionable. I kept the Sierra applications that install with the OS in a separate folder than the ones I used in Mavericks.
Technically the OS is still Mavericks, but I want it to think it's Sierra so that hardware works better. Some of the critical utilities no longer work, like Disc Utility among others and a lot of the OS X native apps. Is there a way to get these to work?
I apologize if this is a taboo discussion, but I do not see anything on the rules regarding "spoofing." If so please take it easy on me for ignorance. If this topic is OK I will detail what I have tried to get the spoof started, but I need to still complete some steps.
