DISCLAIMER: Please understand that installing macOS Ventura on your unsupported Mac is the community's best effort. A ton of work went into getting the patcher working! Some things may not work exactly right, but it's really close. I would not recommend installing on a system you rely on for work or school. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE UPGRADING! The good news is that you get Apple's latest security patches. Some might argue that upgrading to Patched Ventura makes your Mac more secure, as Apple no longer fixes security issues on 10.15 and earlier.
