I have a c.2011 MBP… did everything work automagically upon installation? Like WiFi, graphics acceleration, trackpad, sleeping, etc

Yes, on my 2015 one it even fixed my broken keyboard lol

Well, it took a little tinkering but yeah.

For the WiFi, it doesn’t install the Broadcom drivers by default so once you install the os you have to keep the thumb drive that you installed from in, and go into the driver manager and it will detect your Broadcom and the driver will be selectable. Then your WiFi will work.

Trackpad: The cursor would randomly stop moving and you would have to pick up your finger and set it back down again to get it to start moving again. Annoying. I found that installing Synaptics solves that. Trackpad works great now.

I don’t know how to test graphics acceleration. But videos play fine and retro games from NES to PlayStation work great. Haven’t tried PS2+ or Xbox yet but we’ll see.
